Greetings Paladins! Patch 5.2 has been on live servers for a couple of weeks now, the first wing of LFR has opened and loot will be dropping for millions in the WoW universe. In this post we’re going to list the best items for a Holy Paladin within LFR only. We’ll list them by slot, so you can have this window open while you’re raiding and switch over to it to quickly have a look before you use your bonus loot roll! We’ll focus on the pieces that are best for Holy Paladin Stat Priorities(i.e. Haste & Mastery), and then list alternative options(i.e. Crit or No Spirit).
To see the purples in all their glory:
