Best Gems, Enchants, Food, and Flasks for Holy Paladin in The War Within
This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Holy Paladin, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Holy Paladin in The War Within
We highly recommend using QuestionablyEpic to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.
Raiding
The best stats for Raiding Holy Paladins are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally Quick Ruby/ Deadly Onyx/ Deadly Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald. Fill in the remaining sockets with Quick Ruby.
Mythic+
The best stats for Mythic+ Holy Paladins are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Movement Speed effect, ideally Quick Ruby/ Quick Onyx/ Quick Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald. Fill in the remaining sockets with Deadly Emerald.
Do note that at higher levels of keys, Versatility can gain some value due to the damage reduction it provides. This is only very relevant for very, very, very high-level keys, but it is worth mentioning.

Best Flask for Holy Paladin in The War Within
Flask of Tempered Swiftness will be your go-to choice for maximizing your healing output. If you already have a very high amount of Haste on your gear, you may instead want to opt for Flask of Tempered Aggression.
Best Potion for Holy Paladin in The War Within
Use Slumbering Soul Serum to regenerate Mana if you can afford the downtime, otherwise Algari Mana Potion is better. Tempered Potion is the best stat potion for personal gain, but you will likely want to use Potion Bomb of Power instead for more group damage. You can obtain many of these potions, such as Fleeting Tempered Potion, from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists
Finally, Grotesque Vial can be used while dead and be the difference between victory and defeat in an encounter.
You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.
Best Food for Holy Paladin in The War Within
You should be eating Feast of the Midnight Masquerade at all times in order to gain extra primary stat. If you do not have access to this feast, then you can instead choose to eat Outsider's Provisions, Beledar's Bounty, Jester's Board or Empress' Farewell which will give you more of your highest secondary stat, generally Mastery.
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
