Since we're no longer in PTR, I wanted to start a thread where we can post our current status.
I'm a competitive heroic raider and I try to keep up with other top geared holy paladins.
Here's a few things that I've noticed on the first day of raiding (from a 25m perspective):
- Eternal Flame (EF) is the way to go in 25m's.
- There are a lot of fights that have constant damage, and the EF ticks are very strong.
- I went for the 3506 (13 ticks of EF) breakpoint. The 14th tick is nice, but 7170 haste is taking away WAY too much mastery.
- Make a weak aura for your legendary cloak, the proc is called Spirit of Chi-Ji.
- I've seen a lot of discussion about stat-weights. As Aladya has said in the past, Intellect is still our strongest stat. You should go for whatever spirit you're comfortable with (I'm good with 15000, but others are going for more, I'll link some armories below). After that, it's definitely mastery > haste breakpoint (3506 or 7170) > crit
Here are some armories from some of the top ranking holy paladins...I'm not sure when their armory is updated, but it's always nice to see what they're doing:
