- Bonus Healing

Illumination refunds mana on crits, making crit rating a regen stat — holy paladins uniquely value it alongside intellect, and raw +healing scales the Holy Light bombs that define the role.
Holy Paladin PvE FAQ
Where does Holy Paladin Phase 3 BiS come from?
From the gear worn by 269 top-ranked Holy Paladin healing parses on Warcraft Logs during Phase 3 (Black Temple and Mount Hyjal), aggregated per slot — what high parsers actually equip, not a spreadsheet ideal.
What are the highest-consensus Holy Paladin items in Phase 3?
Crystalforge Chestpiece (84%), Boots of Courage Unending (80%), Glorious Gauntlets of Crestfall (78%). When an item sits above ~70% among top parsers, treat it as the priority drop to chase.
Should I follow this list exactly for Phase 3?
Use it as a loot-priority guide, not a checklist — expand each slot's alternatives, because second-choice items are often within a few percent and drop from entirely different bosses in Black Temple and Mount Hyjal.
