Holy Paladin PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight Season 1
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.
Stat Priority for Holy Paladins in PvP
The stat priority for Holy Paladin in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect
- Versatility
- Mastery
- Haste
- 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), when used with the
Beacon of the Lightbringer Talent, is crucial for Holy Paladins in
PvP.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Holy Paladins want to get trinkets that line up well with
Avenging Crusader or
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.
