TBC Classic Holy Paladin Phase 3 / 4 Gear and Best in Slot

This is a list of gear that is considered to be the best in each slot.

The list below is following the stat priority of Healing Power > MP5/Spell Crit > Intellect > Spell Haste and will include items available exclusively from TBC dungeons, professions, and reputation rewards. During Black Temple, you may also have need of additional gear devoted to maximizing your Shadow Resistance stat. Should this be the case, we recommend consulting our guide dedicated to acquiring pieces with this stat as necessary.

If you are starting out as a freshly-leveled Holy Paladin, our pre-raid best in slot list is meant to give you an idea of non-raid items you can chase as a solo / pug player in preparation for raids.

Do note that items from Heroic dungeons or that require Primal Nethers (which are obtained from Heroics) can be harder to get than raid items due to their daily lockout. Some Heroic dungeons are also harder than most of Karazhan.

To check out our recommended Pre-Raid best in slot gear, head over to its list below. If your character is still progressing through the content of older tiers, then you may wish to consult their best in slot lists instead.
