Best in Slot Gear Guide for Holy Paladin
Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Holy Paladin for Midnight. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Holy Paladin, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more. Keep in mind that with Midnight comes a stat squish, meaning that each item will provide significantly less stats than it once had. Your overall damage and healing will also be lowered as a result.
BiS Gear for Holy Paladin
BiS List for Holy Paladin
It is important to keep in mind that your overall "Best in Slot" list is bound to change based on what gear you have at your disposal. This list is meant to serve as a rough idea of what your best setup may look like in theory. As always you should be consulting with QELive.
This list will include items from Mythic+ which means that they are acquired through the Weekly Great Vault. Item level will always provide the largest increase (outside of trinkets) and you should be replacing any Hero Track Mythic+ items with Myth track items, even if the Mythic+ Hero Track item is on the BiS list.
In some non-Tier slots, a max ilvl Craft will technically be optimal since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. Your mileage here may vary.

Note that we will not include every trinket, just some of the top choices. As always, a worse trinket with a much higher item level could potentially be better than the best trinket at a low item level. Always consult with QuestionablyEpic.

Professions and Crafted Gear
Professions are a great way to gear up with your optimal secondary stats, as adding special items to the crafting process lets you pick and choose the exact secondary stats you want.
If you want to find out more about professions, i.e. to learn how to craft your own Mythic itemlevel equipment, make sure to check out our Midnight Profession guide!
As your ability to craft items will be time-gated in the initial stages of Midnight, we highly recommend getting a Mainhand weapon as soon as possible. No other item will provide you as large of a power increase. Of course if you get a Myth track weapon from your Great Vault, then you will want to instead craft something else. You may see some players choosing to wait until they open their vaults to make a decision as to what they should craft.
Embellished Items
Up to two of your crafted items can be Embellished. This is a similar concept as Unique-Equipped, as you can only wear two items that have the Embellished status. Some crafted items, many of which have powerful procs or beneficial effects by default, are considered Embellished. You can also add Embellishments from a variety of professions to any crafted item, adding the effect to this item either when creating it or at a later stage.
We tend to recommend crafting weapon slots early as they will provide the most initial power at the start of a new season, but they will not be your overall Best in Slot items. In general your best in slot will be:
Spellbreaker's Bracers with
Arcanoweave Lining and Haste/Mastery
Adherent's Silken Shroud with
Arcanoweave Lining and Haste/Mastery
Adding Sockets to Gear
You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with
the
Radiant Jewelbinder consumable that you can get if you do not select any of the choices in
your Great Vault. Not picking a choice will grant you tokens, six of which can be
traded in for the
Radiant Jewelbinder item that allows you to add a socket to the above piece
of gear, if you acquired them in Season 1.
Using Crests as Holy Paladin
Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited
access to upgrading-crests such as
Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear
to higher itemlevels. Since crests are limited each week and upgrading different items
costs the same amount of crests regardless, you will want to prioritize
your usage of them on items you plan on not replacing anytime soon, or that offer the
biggest benefits.
The priority will change heavily depending on whether or not you are crafting a weapon. If you do not craft a weapon and instead get an early Myth track one then you should prioritize upgrading the weapon first. Otherwise you can follow the order below:
As previously mentioned, you will want to prioritize the items you know that you will not replace. If you have a BiS Myth track tier helm, that would take priority over a Hero track trinket that is not BiS. The above order assumes that everything is Myth track.
Stat Priorities
Which gems and enchants to use heavily depends on your current stat priority. As previously mentioned, this priority can shift and change whenever you acquire new gear, so utilizing QELive is highly recommended. In general you will want to prioritize Mastery and Haste but Critical Strike can also be fine. For more information on stats you can visit the dedicated page linked below.
