PvE Holy Paladin Pre-Raid Best in Slot (BiS)

PvE Holy Paladin Pre-Raid Best in Slot (BiS)

Before you can start earning the most powerful items from raids, you’ll need some equipment to get you started. Holy Paladins who are just starting to dip their toes into endgame content will want to work on building a set of pre-raid gear that provides plenty of mana regeneration from Spirit while also boosting their healing power through Intellect and other throughput stats.

Paladins can use any kind of armor, but you should always wear Plate due to the 5% increased Intellect you receive through your Plate Specialization passive ability. The Relic slot is gone in Mists of Pandaria, so you won’t be equipping Librams anymore.

Pre-Raid Best-in-Slot Items

Here is the best gear you can obtain as a Holy Paladin outside of raids in Mists of Pandaria, including dungeon loot, random daily scenario rewards, reputation rewards, and profession bonuses. Don’t forget to gem, enchant, and reforge every item to complete your optimization.
