How the Holy Paladin guide is built

Where the data comes from

This Holy Paladin raid guide is built from real boss kill logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs for the current raid, enriched with character data from the official Blizzard API. The talents, gear, item levels, and stat priorities shown here reflect how Holy Paladin players actually perform on raid bosses, while the pick rate shows how often the spec appears in those logs. Extreme outlier parses are capped so a few unusual kills cannot skew the numbers.

How tiers are assigned

The raid tier shown for Holy Paladin comes from two factors. Performance compares its average healing against the highest healing spec among raid healers, and popularity compares its raid pick rate against an even share across all healing specs. Strong healing with real representation earns S or A, while weaker throughput or low usage moves it down through B and C to D.

This Holy Paladin raid placement is a snapshot of the current tier and shifts with patches, class tuning, and sample size. Raw healing does not capture damage reduction or utility, so use the guide as a starting point and adapt to your fight.
