2.1. Power Torrent Versus Heartsong
When choosing between Enchant Weapon - Power Torrent and Enchant Weapon - Heartsongas your weapon enchant, there are a few things to keep in mind. Please understand that there is no clear answer to this debate, and we would like to just provide you with a few arguments to make your choice.
- Power Torrent provides more raw healing output (extra spellpower and critical strike chance) than Heartsong, but it procs randomly and is entirely uncontrollable (it has a 45 second internal cooldown).
- Heartsong does not provide any healing output per se, offering only mana regeneration. Even though Heartsong procs randomly as well (it has a 20 second internal cooldown), the mana that it provides is stored up in your mana pool (unless you were at maximum mana when it procced), allowing you to use it when needed.
If you prefer having more control over your resources, then we recommend Heartsong.
Do not be mistaken, simply because Heartsong offers mana regeneration, it does not mean that it does not boost your healing output. On the contrary, as your healing output is in great part influenced by how much mana you can spend on powerful (and possibly inefficient) heals, having more mana allows you to heal for more.
A common situation that can make Power Torrent greatly lose its value is if it procs during a phase transition, a period of low damage, or a time when you have to move or are targeted by some other incapacitating boss ability. On the other hand, if the encounter you are progressing on requires you to heal players constantly, in a sustained manner, then Power Torrent may be more valuable than Heartsong.
3. Fogyóeszközök:↑top
You should always be eating food that provides 90 intellect, whether this is in the form of:
Your flask should be a Flask of the Draconic Mind.
During the encounter, your best choice for a potion will be either Mythical Mana Potion orPotion of Concentration (depending on whether or not you can afford the 10 second downtime).
4. Summing-up Profession Perks
Choosing a profession for your Holy Paladin can impact your raid performance. As a rule, you should shy away from gathering professions (with the exception of Herbalism), which leaves the following viable professions for raiding:
Profession |
Perks |
Tailoring |
Provides a gain of approximately 120 Intellect through Lightweave Embroidery or 120 Spirit through Darkglow Embroidery. It also provides Sanctified Spellthread, a much cheaper equivalent ofPowerful Ghostly Spellthread, the usual leg enchant. |
Blacksmithing |
Provides a 100 Intellect gain through two extra sockets: Socket Bracer and Socket Gloves. Only provides an 80 Intellect gain if you are still using Brilliant Inferno Ruby, and not the newer Brilliant Queen's Garnet. |
Jewelcrafting |
Provides a 51 Intellect gain through the ability of using 3 Brilliant Chimera's Eye. It does provide an 81 Intellect gain if you are still using Brilliant Inferno Ruby and not the newer Brilliant Queen's Garnet. |
Alchemy |
Provides an 80 Intellect gain to your flask through Mixology. |
Enchanting |
Provides an 80 Intellect gain through Enchant Ring - Intellect. |
Engineering |
Provides an 80 Intellect gain in average through Synapse Springs. Also provides Grounded Plasma Shield, an additional Waist enchant that can be used as a survival tool during encounters, but it runs the risk of backfiring (in which case, you taunt and take aggro on all nearby mobs). |
Inscription |
Provides an 80 Intellect gain through Felfire Inscription. It also saves you from the trouble of farming reputation with Therazane to get the usual enchantment. |
Leatherworking |
Provides an 80 Intellect gain through Draconic Embossment - Intellect. |
Herbalism |
Provides an 80 Haste Rating gain in average through Lifeblood. |
With the exception of Tailoring, which is currently the best profession for casters, you will generally prefer a passive Intellect bonus over any of the temporary gains. Indeed,Lifeblood provides Haste Rating, which, as a Holy Paladin, is much less valuable than any Intellect bonus. Synapse Springs is good, but if you already have an on-use trinket, the two effects cannot be used simultaneously and you will prefer that of your trinket, which is, most likely, a lot more powerful than that of Synapse Springs.
