Last updated Yesterday at 18:35 by Mysticall 14 comments

Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Holy Paladin in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats as well as guidance on how to pick up your best gear and your trinkets.

This page is part of our Holy Paladin PvP Guide.

1.

Stat Priority for Holy Paladins in PvP

The stat priority for Holy Paladin in PvP is as follows:

  1. Intellect
  2. Versatility
  3. Mastery
  4. Haste
  5. Critical Strike

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the next best stat as it will increase the damage/healing you do and reduce the damage you take. This is followed up with Master. Holy Paladin Mastery (Mastery: Lightbringer Icon Mastery: Lightbringer), when used with the Beacon of the Lightbringer Icon Beacon of the Lightbringer Talent, is crucial for Holy Paladins in PvP.

Gear Recommendations

2.1.

General Guidelines

In general, Holy Paladins want to get trinkets that line up well with Avenging Crusader Icon Avenging Crusader or Avenging Wrath Icon Avenging Wrath. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to increase are either Intellect or Versatility. You want to increase Versatility because it increases both your damage and healing. Intellect is great for increasing your overall healing output.

Here is the best gear we recommend you using as a Holy Paladin.

  • Head: Luminant Verdict's Unwavering Gaze Icon Luminant Verdict's Unwavering Gaze
  • Neck: Thalassian Competitor's Amulet Icon Thalassian Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery

Holy Paladin Tier Sets

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. Here is the Holy Paladin tier set:

  • 2-set: Holy Shock Icon Holy Shock's healing is increased by 15%.
  • 4-set: Holy Shock Icon Holy Shock transfers an additional 20% healing into your Beacon of Light Icon Beacon of Light.

  • Blessed Pango Charm Icon Blessed Pango Charm gives your healing spells a chance to grant Versatility to your target. This is great for increasing the survivability of your team. Craft this on both rings or a ring and a neck.
