Holy Paladin

PvE guide, updated for Patch 12.1.5

Stat Priority

The secondary stats top Mythic+ Holy Paladins favor, in order, read from the gems, ring enchants and gear ratings they run. The weights beside the order are set from it, not measured, so Pawn and the gem and enchant lists can use them.

It’s what the players in the highest keys chose, not a sim of what heals the most.

Stat priority

  1. Intellect
  2. Haste

From 49 top Mythic+ players in Midnight Season 2, week of Oct 27, 2026, with best keys of +23 to +24. Data from Blizzard’s Mythic+ leaderboards and the Armory.

Where this stat priority comes from

Each week this guide takes the Holy Paladins with the highest timed keys on Blizzard’s Mythic+ leaderboards and reads their gear from the Armory. It measures two things: the secondary stat their gems and ring enchants pick, and each secondary’s share of the rating on their gear. The priority is the average of the two, and a stat whose average sits less than 3 percentage points from the next one’s is listed as tied with it.

The weights are set from that order, not measured: Intellect at 60 and the secondaries between 30 and 42, the range a caster’s simmed weights fall in, so Pawn and the gem and enchant lists can read them. They show what top players run, which follows the loot they got and the guides they read as well as what heals the most.
