Healer · DPS
Paladin BiS checklist
Paladins keep two almost separate gear sets: healing cloth and retribution plate. Decide your main role before you spend gold on either.
Holy
HealerHealing is the reliable group role. Stack spell power and mana regen from cloth and quest rewards, then add the cheap trinkets.

Farm order
- Craft Robe of the Archmage as soon as tailoring allows.
- Finish Dire Maul for Royal Seal.
- Run MC for the Choker, then BWL for the gem.
