Holy Paladin 346 Gear Guide

Best items at this level are in bold.

This list is intended for those who will be raiding as soon as possible after hitting 85. This means that you don't have time to accrue rep with factions aside from what you got when leveling. It also assumes that you and your friends are good enough to skip normal modes and go straight into heroic 5-man (at least Paragon and Premonition are allowed to do that according to Blizzard.)

If you do get a chance to run heroics before you raid for the first time, this list will help you decide what instances you want to run. You can also use it as a checklist to see if there are any drops you'd want in an instance.

I've also included PvP and PvE points and I'm assuming you have 4000 of each saved up.

Now, you hit 85. Run up to the Justice vendor and buy these:

Shield of the Mists - 950 Justice Points
Gloves of Curious Conscience - 1650 Justice Points

If you are able to acquire 250 JP after buying these, you should buy this:

Belt of Barred Clouds - 1650 Justice Points

otherwise you can only afford this:

Celadon Pendant - 1250 Justice Points

Next we're using our 4000 honor points. Buy these:

Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Relic of Salvation - 700 Honor
Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Bracers of Meditation - 1250 Honor
Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Greaves of Meditation - 1650 Honor (Unless you are honored with Ram'kahen, in which case buy Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Ornamented Spaulders - 1650 Honor)

If you get a chance to run a heroic dungeon, your first should be Halls of Origination, and with 7 bosses you should have no trouble with finding a group.
