Level 80 Guide to Gearing a HEALadin for Raids
Your paladin healer should attain the following unbuffed:
- 1500 +Healing
Increases the amount of healing your spells can do, you should always aim for more as it is never sufficient. - 15000 - 18000 Mana Pool
Paladins usually pile up on Intellect. Bigger mana pool and higher critical chances, these prevents us from goin out of mana. - 20% Spell Critical Chance
Unlike other healer classes spell criticals play a big part in a healing paladin’s game. With Illumination, 60% mana is refunded whenever a healing spell crits, this allows mana conservation. Intellect also increases spell critical rating so stock up on it. With talents such as Sanctified Light and Holy Power combined, you have a base spell critical chance of 11%, with gear there should be no problem hitting 20% or more.
