Gearing Up for Heroics in Wrath of the Lich King
June 11, 2009
If you want to gear up your Holy Paladin, start here: The Complete Guide for gearing up your Pally for Heroics in Wrath of the Lich King. To be the best Healadin you can be you need to know where to get your gear and what is the best for you to get.
What stats does a holy paladin need for heroics?
To start healing Heroics, you'll want about +1200 Spell Power and about 15k mana. For the harder Heroics you'll want about +1600 Spell Power and about 18k Mana (which is about what you want to start healing Naxx10)
Once you've got enough gear to run the lower heroics, its time to switch to gearing up towards Naxx10 and Naxx25. The gear you're going to want to do the harder heroics, is about the same as the gear you want for Naxx10/Naxx25.
The best items for you are at the top of each slot's list.
The Epics on this list, will usually last you well into Naxx10/25, some into Ulduar.
