Holy Paladin Stat Priority
Intellect > Critical Strike > Spirit > Mastery > Haste
Prioritize Intellect as much as you possibly can. The more Intellect you have, the stronger your spells will be. When it comes to secondary stats, you’ll want to acquire a comfortable amount of Critical Strike. Holy Shock crits will give you Infusion of Light procs, which are vital for spot healing in PvP.
Next up on our priority is Spirit, which in the earlier seasons is a bit harder to come by. Mana can be an issue in longer games, and you’re going to want a fair amount of Spirit to stay ahead.
Followed by Spirit, we will want as much Mastery as possible and lastly Haste. Haste technically isn’t a bad stat but is something you don’t really need due to Seal of Insight providing a passive cast speed increase.
