Arannia's Compendium of Level 70 3.0.x Holy Paladin Specs.

Post by Arannia

Doesn't seem to be a list of specs, so here's mine ;)

Holy PvE Builds

- Build to get all Improved Blessings, and Blessing of Kings, while sacrificing BeOL, JoTP, and 2% crit from Conviction. - Thanks to Valundar

- Cookie Cutter BeOL 51/00/10 build
Incorperates Benediction, Improved Judgements and HotC. Feel free to remove the points from Improved Judgements and move them to Imp BoM, though IMHO, Improved Judgement is better if you solo a lot too. Though, for an optimal raiding build, if you were the ONLY Holy Paladin, or only Paladin who can obtain Imp BoM, Imp BoM would be better. - Thanks to Shirash.

- Alternate build choosing to forsake BeOL and JotP for higher spell crit.
Removing point/s from Enlightened Judgements to max out Sanctified Seals is optional. - Thanks to Milric

- Kings and Benediction Build. - Renicus' build idea.

Holy PvP Builds

- 51/5/5 build for BoK and cheaper instant casts.

- Holy/Prot defensive healer build.
Incorperates BeOL, resistance talents except PoH (Pure of Heart is useless, the only curses that matter can be cast with no cooldown.), BoK, Stoicism, and Guardian's Favor.

- Alternate Holy/Ret build, for cheaper instant casts, and better judgements.

Shockadin Type Builds

Note:
Shockadins are not as viable anymore as they used to be. The following are for lovers of the spec only, and are not recommended for people who have no real love for them.

- 31/00/30 build for Vengeance dropping Holy Shock for Repentance is optional, but not recommended, since Judgement does not do as much damage as it used to.

- Build for Infusion of Light - Getting buffed in 3.0.3 to make FoL instant!

- More of a Retribution Orientated specThough to be honest, at this stage, you might aswell just spec full ret.

---

Level 80 specs

- Chance for two instant Flash of Lights, but sacrifices Holy Guidance and Divine Illumination.

JoTW and Repentace build with Infusion of Light. Inspired by Valundar.

More coming soon.

Great thread,but I'll use this for BoK.

Damn, meant to add something like that. I'll add it in and cite you as the person who gave me the idea ;)

Updated.

Bumping. Want to keep this in the spotlight for a few days, see if I get any posts or suggestions. If I don't, I'll let it die soon, though I think this should be included in the incoming Holy Paladin guide for WoTLK and 3.0.x.

My 'cookie cutter' holy spec swaps imp. judgements out for imp. BoM.

Unless you're soloing, you're not likely to be casting judgement every time it's off cooldown anyway...

Noted and Edited, thanks :) Meant to point that out anyway.

My 70 build

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sxAzgGzhVuGxoza0bZc

I don't personally like it. You've taken Aura Mastery, Blessed Life, ect, but not Enlightened Judgements or even Judgements of the Pure.

My 80 build

While you've somewhat corrected the problem here, your builds seem to lack focus. Are they PvE? Then why Blessed Life? PvP? Then why haven't you got things like Blessed Hands? Or Unyielding Faith?

This is pretty good so far. My recommendation is to make things look a bit more organized, and replace direct URLs with TEXT HERE format, for aesthetic purposes.

That's what I'm rolling ATM at level 70, I was nominated to be the BoKings pally of our raids... :(

There's my level 80 build.

Wasted points in Divine Strength, move them to Stocism. I know its a levelling build, but a PvP talent is better than a PvE talent increasing a stat you have almost no use for.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sxA0gMzhVuMxRZZVf0xo - Alternate build choosing to forsake BeOL and JotP for higher critical heals, and 8% speed increase. Removing point/s from Enlightened Judgements to max out Pursuit of Justice is optional.

I may be misinterpreting the new spell effects. However, it would seem to me that the point spent in Pursuit of Justice would be better spent in Sanctified Seals. The tooltip for that ability is:

Increases your chance to critically hit with all spells and attacks by 1% and reduces the chance your Seals will be dispelled by 33%.

I read that as being an additional 1% critical strike chance just like Conviction. Given the value of critical hits, I would think that outweighs the value of Pursuit of Justice in a PvE setting.

I'm not too sure on its effects on healing spells. I'll have to look into it. If anyone can give me solid information on it with proof, it would be very useful.This is pretty good so far. My recommendation is to make things look a bit more organized, and replace direct URLs with TEXT HERE format, for aesthetic purposes.

I'll work on it later, busy working now. Very good idea though :)

EDIT:

Effect #1 Apply Aura: Mod Spell Crit Chance
Value: 1
Effect #2 Apply Aura: Add Flat Modifier (28)
Value: 33
Effect #3 Apply Aura: Mod Crit Percent

Mhm, I guess I was wrong. I'll change it.

This is a good start, but may I suggest breaking up the paragraphs from the links, etc. & a little formatting (for bold, etc. or URLs to show where you are when reading).

Keep it up, we need good work like this from users! It's how the community grows & stays strong!
