A
Paladin in all his/her Raiding Gear Glory

Why
are we raiding? Sure we like hearing the
discussions
about strategy, laughing at horrific pulls, and the occasional F-bomb.
But I
would hazard a guess that even the most gregarious raiders who may pass
occasionally on the purples is in this for the loot. If that is indeed
the
case, then what can we expect for all of our hard work, perseverance
and repair
bills? With the introduction of Ulduar, the discussions about
Best-in-Slot just
got more interesting.

For
those trying to keep score at home, each item
of gear
has an Item Level, aka iLevel. The iLevel is not shown through the
stock user
interface, but if you use Rating Buster or other gear evaluation mods,
the
iLevel is typically shown. The iLevel shows a piece of gear’s
status relative
to other gear – the higher the iLevel, the better the gear.
The
majority of
gear from Naxxramas 10 Man has an iLevel of 200. Heroic Naxx (aka 25
Man) gear
runs at an iLevel of 213. Ulduar regular mode (10 Man) will net you
gear with
an iLevel of 219. Setting the bar for uber gear is Heroic Ulduar (25
Man) loot
carrying an iLevel of 226.

From
the previous paragraph is appears that we
should all
just slot gear of iLevel 226 and call it good. That is an easy way to
set some
goals, but being strategic and sticking with the right statistics may
actually
show a lower iLevel item to be more advantageous. Always keep in mind
your
ideal stats and ratios because they will get thrown out of whack
periodically
during gearing upgrades. Being heavy in one stat at the expense of
another equally
important stat is not in your best interest.

A
quick programming note prior to launching the
guide; I
rely heavily on the theorycrafters at
target="_blank">Maintankadin and target="_blank">ElitistJerks. The number crunching
reaches fever
pitches on
those sites. If you read too closely it can burn your skin, but the end
results
are invaluable.

Retribution

With
DPS exceeding 6,400 a Retribution Paladin in
Ulduar
gear can quite literally tear a hole in the place. There are some
options for
mixing and matching non-Plate armor, but that’s not what
we’re about is it?
Sticking with Plate (especially since it won’t cost more than
a
few dozen DPS
(fractions of a percent) we can create quite a nice set of gear:

style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Holy
Paladin, now with extra holes
(chain mail gear)

Last
but not least, the Holy Paladin isn’t
being left out of
this smorgasbord of yummy gear. With the Retadin and Protadin above we
stuck
with Plate only. That’s not the case with healing gear. As a
healer, the odds
are very good you won’t be getting hit that often so we can
mix
in some Mail
armor. Especially when (a) we can take it from a Shaman, and (b) we
deserve it
more than Shaman.

You’ll
notice a lack of spirit and an
abundance of Critical
Strike Rating. The Holy Paladin should be wallowing in Crit Rating to
get the
big heals and all the tasty Procs that come with them. We’ll
take
a little Mana
per five, but leave the Spirit in the bank. Likewise, there is no +Hit
rating
because heals always hit. If we were trying to be style="">  a
plate wearing mage, we may want some +Hit,
but not for us Healadins.

style="color: black;">You’ll notice
that the latest legendary item is in this list –
Val’anyr.
Yes, a true goal
oriented list would not be complete without the best healing weapon in
the
game. Many of us won’t see that weapon, but we should all do
our
best to get our
hands on it. It’s obviously a Paladin weapon, and if your
raid
leader thinks
otherwise then remind them how many times you’ve saved his
bacon.

style="color: black;">I hope this
window shopping will help you see how the latest crop of end-game items
can
really boost your character’s stats. Wearing gear highlighted
above will not
only bring envy in Dalaran, you’ll also be one of the first
to be
sporting most
of it. Of course in a few months it won’t be so special, so
get
in there and
start working on Ulduar!
