Tier Sets

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.

Trinkets

Disclaimer: Due to a lack of definitive data, both Trinket and Embellishment choices are based solely on my own testing and gameplay on Beta servers. This section will be expanded once we know more.

Recommended trinkets

Locus-Walker's Ribbon - High Mastery trinket with a chance to proc Intellect. Both of these are great for Holy Paladin. During my testing, I got pretty good uptime on this trinket and it felt good in Raid. However, due to how fast it loses stacks out of combat, it will lose some value in M+, unless you play with an organized group who pull fast.

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

Embellishments

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.

After you’ve secured a high-item-level weapon, you can start thinking about crafting Embellishments.

As of the time of writing this guide, there is no embellishment that is clearly better than the others. For now, I’ll just give an honorable mention to Signet Of Azerothian Blessings, and this section will be expanded once there is more data to compare different embellishments.
