Holy Paladin Stat Priority

Versatility (25%) > Mastery > Critical Strike > Haste

Versatility will be our most important stat. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 25%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.

After that, you’ll be focusing on Mastery, as this is your best stat to buff your healing throughput.

Followed by Mastery, we have Critical Strike. Due to this stat synergizing fairly well with our healing rotation, we need a decent amount in order for our build to fully function. This is due to Infusion of Light enhancing the effects of our primary healing spells and Judgment after using Holy Shock. By having more Critical Strike, we also become way more mana conservative, allowing us to heal through long-lasting matchups.

And finally, we have Haste, with does not synergize well in our toolkit and should be avoided at all costs.

Trinkets

Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity
Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator’s Medallion

When it comes to trinkets, we highly suggest using Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. It has an extremely high proc chance, and with our frequent access to huge instant cast burst healing, this becomes our best option.

You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

An alternative trinket from Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity is Forged Gladiator’s Emblem, as this will assist us with surviving massive burst windows.

Best Holy Paladin Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Versatile Onyx

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

As Versatility and Mastery are your best secondary stats, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, which acts almost identical to the Precognition Embellishment from Dragonflight.

For all gem slots, we will use Versatile Onyx. This will provide us a hefty amount of Mastery, while weaving in some Versatility to make us slightly tankier.
