Healing Paladin Armor Shopping List

[Malka]

A paladin can be quite a respectable healer, if she has the proper gear to support this activity. Most plate is useless for this -- there simply isn't much plate out there that has +int, +healing, +spirit, or mana regen on it. If you are a new level 60 paladin who wants to assemble a set of healing gear, this list might help you.

No MC/ZG/BWL/AQ/Onyxia or PvP gear on it.

Ideally, a set of healing gear can be built out of plate only. Realistically, you are going to need a few pieces of other types. This list has three sections, one for plate, one for shields, and one for mail. For leather, see Ljanna's Shopping List for Restoration Druids, and for cloth, see Rheyna's Shopping List for Healing Priests. There's no point in using any cloak for healing other than Hide of the Wild, which Sorcha can make for you.

A healing paladin should carry a shield (to replace armor lost to non-plate items and make you harder to kill) with a 1h weapon. There are some 1h weapons with int on them, but at the new level 60 stage, I personally am partial to Serathil for the armor bonus (again due to the loss of armor from wearing a few non-plate pieces). The chant for your healing weapon should be +55 healing or +22 int. Be sure to skill up this weapon to 300 -- you won't swing it often, but when you do swing it, you need it to hit.

Plate

(Note on Lightforge: the only set bonus that helps healing is the 3-piece bonus where you get +11 healing.)

The Abyssal Plate set is a nice blue/green place to start. For healing paladins, you want the "of Restoration" pieces. Legs, feet, hands, and belt are BoE. The shoulders rock, and fall off Lord Skwol.

Mail

(Note on Elements: the set bonus that helps healing is the 7-piece bonus. Realistically, you can't actually obtain that much Elements gear, so forget about set bonuses with this one, and go for just the individual pieces that you need. Several of the Elements pieces won't drop for Alliance parties.)

(Note on Blue Dragon Mail: 3-piece set bonus is a healing bonus.)

There are Abyssal pieces in mail, as well as plate. Again, you want the "of Restoration" ones.
