Caps & Requirements
Do not itemize for hit as Holy.
Best Races
The only Horde option. Arcane Torrent returns mana for Holy and doubles as an AoE silence / interrupt for Retribution and Protection.
Retribution wants the Sword / Mace expertise; Holy and Protection lean on The Human Spirit and Every Man for Himself. Draenei (Gift of the Naaru, party +1% hit) and Dwarf (Stoneform clears bleeds, poisons and disease — a strong Prot cooldown) are both viable.
Notes
Holy Paladin-style Intellect stacking; hybrids only where a socket bonus is worth it.
The Holy Paladin list in short
This is the Best in Slot list for the Holy Paladin in WotLK 3.3.5a Phase 4: the strongest realistic gear from Icecrown Citadel 25, Ruby Sanctum and Trial of the Grand Crusader. It covers 17 equipment slots with the enchant, the gems and the close alternatives for every piece.
In short: the ICC Mana Legacy build uses the Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings in the main hand with the Bulwark of Smouldering Steel in the off hand and the Libram of Renewal in the libram slot; its trinkets are Meteorite Crystal and Glowing Twilight Scale; the head slot is Sanctified Lightsworn Headpiece and the chest is Rot-Resistant Breastplate.
Stat priority: Intellect, then Spell Power, then Haste, then MP5, then Critical Strike. The caps and the best races for this spec are in the panels above the notes.
