Holy Paladins For Dummies v2!

[Hammil]

Hello everybody, I'm back again with a whole new guide for Holy Paladins!
In my last post, I got a lot of feedback saying some stuff, that now I realize is true
and I am going to put it into my guide.
* = New for v2!
___________________________________________________________________

If you are new to 70 on a paladin, you will be forced to pick a raid spec, unless your a PvPer, either Tank or Heals. Today I'm going to talk about heals.
________________________________________________________________
Professions:

Alchemy - This is a beauty to have in raids, you can supply elixers, if your low on mana you'll never run out of potions, and the best part, Alchemy Stone.
Since SSO has came out, a new line of Alchemists Stones have came out, Melee, Caster, Tanking, Healing. The mats are unbearable for these.
1x Alchemists Stone
2x Nether Vortex's (30 badges, or about 600g)
6x Primal Life

Enchanting - This is a very big pain to level, but once your at 375 you'll thank yourself you will get tips for clicking 3 things. But the main reason we will have it is for +healing ring enchant which you can only do to yourself. Also you wont be going "/2 LF Chanter to do x! PST"
________________________________________________________________
Okay now that we have to professions covered we will go on to basic raiding
add ons you'll need.
(Having trouble finding them? download WoWmatrix a program where you pick and choose addons - fast and easily. Find this at World of Warcraft AddOns & Mods :: WoW 2.4 Latest Downloads!

Healbot - An addon where it lists your group/raid in a box (which you can move and customize) All you do is set the spells to Left Click, middle click, and right click.

Omen - A basic raiding threat meter

Group Calendar - This isn't really for paladins specifically but it will help you get into guild raids / heroics.

Decursive - A compact group of boxes you click on to get rid of pesky little Debuffs.

Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) - Another one non-paladin specific but it will help you lead/pay attention to raid bosses

The spec you linked is terrible. The standard is Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

You don't need Purifying Power because you won't have to cleanse on every fight which is a waste of 2 points. You don't need improved lay on hands because the cool down is so long that you can't use it more than 3 or 4 times in an average raid, plus it makes you lose all your mana if you aren't already out. Sanctified light is an important talent because of how much paladins rely on spell crit chance for mana regen and every little bit counts. 2 points in unyielding faith is optional in exchange for a point in stoicism its up to you. You don't need any points in anticipation at all due to the fact that if you get hit in a raid, you will most likely die from it. Guardian's favor is nice so that you can help your AoE stay alive with BoP more often and it lengthens BoF which is nice for fights like Vashj so your tank can get around easier. Improved concentration aura is also nice for silences on things like Nalorakk's bear form, Shade of Aran's counterspell and the like. Redoubt is also fun for soloing (these points can be moved to toughness instead for the purposes of soloing but will likely be not very helpful in raids).

Thanks for the information, my spec is actually well in most cases, esp. Leo fight,
but I see what you mean, here, i'll change the link
