Holy Paladin Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Holy Shocks healing is increased by 15%
• (4) Set Bonus: Holy Shock transfers an additional 20% healing into your Beacon

These are just flat, direct, pretty boring increases to HPS. There’s no interaction here that will impact the way you play. The only thing to note here is that (4) Set Bonus is one of the reasons why Divine Toll is recommended over Holy Prism, as Holy Shock from Divine Toll do benefit from the (4) Set Bonus, while Holy Prism does not.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Holy Paladin, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Raiding

Recommended Trinkets for Holy Paladin:

Gaze Of The Alnseer - This is a strange one. Not only has it been bugged since Beta - allowing Holy Paladins to gain stacks while doing virtually nothing, but it’s also been nerfed twice post launch of Midnight. In its current state it’s still one of the best trinkets for multiple spec, Holy Paladin included.

Vaelgor's Final Stare - This is a great on-use trinket for any spec that benefits from Mastery. Simply bind it to your Wings and use them together.

Locus-Walker's Ribbon - High Mastery trinket with a chance to proc Intellect. Both of these are great for Holy Paladin. Due to how fast it loses stacks while out of combat it’s best suited for Raid, but it's still perfectly playable in M+ as well.

Alternatives Trinkets:

Emerald Coach's Whistle - Statstick that grants Mastery to both you and an ally. This trinket has been nerfed and is no longer considered BIS. That said, it’s still a pretty good alternative if you can’t get your hands on any of the Raid trinkets.

Heart Of Wind - Simple Intellect trinket with a Haste proc.

Emberwing Feather - On-use stat stick. Bind it to your Wings and use them together. The chance to trigger Emberwing Burn is pretty low and not all that punishing, so don’t worry about it.

The biggest power spike you can get at the start of a new Tier/Season is from equipping a new weapon. This is a very competitive slot, and it’s unlikely that a weapon dropping in a raid will be given to a Healer over a DPS. For these reasons, it’s recommended that your first Spark be used on crafting a weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt as it’s the best embellishment for throughput.

Subsequent Sparks should be used to replace low ilvl pieces of gear and you can craft them with Arcanoweave Lining as it is the second best embellishment for throughput.

The optimal slots for crafted gear are bracers and cloak, but if you have other low ilvl pieces just make sure you’re not crafting gear that’s going to take up a slot you need for a tier piece.
