Guys look at the second raid loot table, there aren't any crit-versa items, not even the set items has this combo. I would say crit haste instead. Haste reduces Holy Shock's, light of dawn's cooldown and ofc the global cooldown. When you stack a lot of crit haste the light of martyr, holy shock, holy light, light of dawn rotation comes in the picture. The legendary neck piece is a must have, so as the shoulder piece. With a lot of haste and the 4 set bonus you will spam the shit out of people with holy shocks and holy lights.
But hey, we aren't there yet, this is just my opinion.

I'm not sure what loot table has to do with stat priority? Just because loot doesn't drop in a raid doesn't mean that stat isn't good. You can get those items from Mythic+ or world bosses. Versatility is the best stat after crit, regardless of whether it is on gear or not.

LotM is a critical and class defining ability. Shame on this guide for not mentioning it.

The pally who wrote this guide is clearly being carried by the other healers in the raid. I'd boot any junk paladin with low HPS that wasn't using LotM the same way i'd boot junk disc priests for not atonement healing and spamming shadow mend.

I very much dislike this guide and it brings icy-veins down IMO.

LotM causes negative healing, so the healing it does is really cut in half, youd be much better off casting a flash of light, I do really good hps in high 90th+ percentile and dont even use LoTM except in RARE cases when I cant use flash of light or holy shock, which is again, rare

Hi there!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'd love to hear more about this so I can pass it on to our writers, but I'd need to see some proof of your own logs before "shaming" our guide. Simply saying "X is amazing, it's not here, guide is terrible helps nobody". Show me it is amazing.

Thanks for the comment anyway :)

So new here first time posting on IcyVeins but needed some help.  As of now my shuffle through the guide has me top healing in guild (we are only on normal EN atm) at around 240k I believe? But had a few questions hope you obviously knowledgeable base could answer.

1. Can the writers implement the BiS list that someone posted onto the actual guide please.

2. Is the point going Int, Crit, Vers a safe/catch all since mastery depends on range of you/beacon?

3. Not been able to find them, but does anyone know the stat weights for Hpaly? Using Ask Mr. Robot and Pawn and they are not wanting to agree with each other on upgrades. Any help in these numbers and if so can we get them added to guide?

i would like to know at what % do these stats become more viable than others? 

 what are the caps (soft and hard)?

how much of each start should be considered a minimum?

 

using my MW for an example, mastery is trash under 300% but raises very fast, while crit  is useless under 25% and raises very slowly.

We're working on implementing one using the information given by the user, as well as some of the updates that we have incoming in the future.

Exactly, yeah. You could spend all month gearing for pure Mastery and then find that on the fight you are doing, it is useless.

Weights are VERY difficult to work out for a healer. There are one or two addons that are floating around that can help, but they require manually adapting the code to fit to a Paladin, since they are for Resto Druid. 

I don't know how to do it myself, sorry!

I believe the only one that matters is Crit at around 30%, but there should be an update coming soon that adds some changes

Hey guys, I was trying to use the simulationcraft to see if my stats were correct, however he says that does not support, we really have no way but to use healers? how do we do tests to see if we are on track?

It doesn't make any sense to recommend avoiding Light of the Martyr. By speccing for it you can create a very versatile build that really shines in mythic+ 5 man content and raiding because it allows you to use your own hp as an alternate resource. Taking Fervent Martyr reduces the cost of use by half, and by using bestow faith on myself every time it is off cooldown it is keeping me topped off after 5 seconds of spamming THE STRONGEST HEAL AVAILABLE TO THE CLASS for no cost other than 10-15% of my health. That is just massive.To avoid exploring the build entirely because the reviewer prefers to play the class as if it was a druid is slightly insane and should be looked into by an alternate reviewer familiar with the build and the benefits it offers.

haste gear as BIS no thanks.... rather run without item in that slot

I would like to just point out that most of the top Pally Healers are using aura of sacrifice for multiple fights, so I do not see how you guys don't recommend this talent. It is very powerful and from my experience raiding  it is very handy to getting everyone in the raid healed fully back up very quickly, without expending a lot of mana.

It's pretty tough to simulate healing output, but I believe there are WeakAura strings being used for other classes (namely Resto Druid) that will allow for stat weight calculation. I'm not sure if there is one for HPala atm.

EN is very limited in gear choices. It's not ideal to have Haste, but we aren't including M+ in those gear lists posted above.

For both of the comments concerning talent choices, I believe there should be an update coming in the near future to the choices.

I'm not even sure why I stopped by to read this guide as I've already been farming m10+'s and heroic EN ( No mythic EN sadly on account of it being server only), but I have to disagree with this guide's take on light of the martyr. It is literally my bread and butter when tanks are taking a ton of damage. Not to mention it's cheap mana cost means you'll always finish fights with a large amount of health. 

 

All you have to do is bestow faith on yourself/holy shock yourself, and use divine protection to mitigate the damage. It hasn't steered me wrong on anything yet.

Guys, how do you feel about haste? With extremely low haste and super-high crit, holy shock cooldown seems just way too long for me. Is it a good idea to go for ~20% haste and ~40% crit?

It looks like your comment was made after the adjustments to the guide on LotM usage, so I'm not sure if you are disagreeing with the old guide still without re-checking it? We do recommend using it in certain situations in the latest updates.

      Blizzard somehow forgot to update the item level of BoA tokens from Dreamsurges to the Season 4 item level so they recently hotfixed it to 454.
      On live servers, Celestine the Harvest now sells BoA gear tokens with item level 454 (up from 415). Visit the active Dreamsurge location to find the vendor.

      Check out our Dreamsurges guide for more information about the event!

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.
