So what about us palas that went for the inte gemming, for spam HoL ? Workes fine 16k mana atm so can same quit a bit. And together whith the alch trinket that makes mana pots give more mana
You shouldn’t use haste potions as they only provide melee and ranged haste, not spell haste.
That is an excellent catch!
I’ve replaced Haste Potion with Destruction Potion in the guide.
You are absolutely correct in terms of Haste Potions not affecting spell haste. I would agree that it doesn’t see much benefit for Holy Paladins except for dire situations such as zero mana with Judgement of Wisdom on the boss to increase the speed in which they attack to potentially receive more procs.
It may also be helpful for longer fights to apply Superior Mana Oil to your weapons to provide additional mana regen. It may not seem like much, but an extra 14 mana per 5 can make a huge difference on certain boss fights.
Why is blackened basilisk on here? Holy Paladins don’t use spell damage or spirit.
That is a very good point. Thanks for bringing that up. I have updated the guide accordingly.
