Holy Paladin Gemming

Welcome to the Holy Paladin Gemming page! Gemming is the process of placing a crafted gem with stats attached to it into available sockets on gear or items to improve your character stats or “attributes”. Gems are crafted from recipes by Jewelcrafters using materials and items. On this page we’ll show you what gems you should use and where to put them to get the most out of your healing. This is a guide only and gems are quite dependent on what stats you already have on your character. If you haven’t done so already, we recommend enchanting your gear first. To see the best Holy Paladin Enchants, head to the Holy Paladin Enchanting page.

To obtain these gems you basically have two options: you can purchase pre-crafted gems from the Auction House or another player who is a Jewelcrafter, or you yourself can become a Jewelcrafter, crafting your own gems as you see fit and also possibly making some gold, selling your crafted gems to other players. For more info on professions go to the Holy Paladin Professions page.

You can place gems in sockets by opening your character screen, Shift + Right Clicking on the item that has sockets, opening your bags, Left Clicking the gem and placing the gem in the socket and pressing “Apply”.

There is currently only one “Epic” gem that can be aquired, the Saber’s Eye of Intellect. This is a unique-equipped gem so you can only have one, but it’s the most powerful gem available. We recommend applying this gem to a socket in gear that is high level, and then applying Crit gems to the rest of your gear.

Considering our stat priorities:

Intellect > Crit > Mastery = Versatility >= Haste

Here’s what we recommend:

For those wanting to gem at level 100 using Warlords of Draenor gems, here’s our recommendations:

For those wanting to gem at level 90, here’s our recommendations:

Now you have filled all your sockets, check out the Holy Paladin Professions page.
