I just picked this bad guy up yesterday from AH. I was looking to put an enchantment on it but wasn't too sure what I want. Looking at my stats I think my healing is down for where it should be at.
Or I was thinking of just waiting till I get the one Mace from Shattered Halls, forget the name. I'll link my armomry below. Thanks for any input.

At the very least wait until you get the mace from shattered halls or Mechanar before you start enchanting things. If you want to wait a little longer, the mace from Exalted Sha'tar is even better. That is if you are concerned about saving money.

Hey if you can get it to drop by all means go for it. Just gotta run ALL the way through heroic SLabs to get it for an extremely low droprate.

Wow, that looks pretty sweet. Recently got Mur in the SLabs but we couldn't down him. :(

Just saw ur other post. Heroics LAbs. Ya not ready for those.

Capt'n, ya money is low. Noticed in AH that the shards for +81 healing are a butt load of momeny on my server. I might wait till I get the one from Shattered. Hows the one from Mec?

Read the "Comprehensive Pre-Kara Holy Paladin Guide" sticky from Dilbrt above, he has all 3 of those maces linked, as well as a bunch of other gear in other slots that you might want to take a gander at.

What's wrong with Gladiator's Salvation?

Some people don't like PvPing, and I generally don't think of those rewards, especially since it seems like it takes a week of straight PvPing to get any of them.

PvP paladin healing gear has resilience and lacks mp5 and for the most part should not be used in raiding.

I recommend the Shatt Hall mace, but one in Mech or even the essencer focuser is good enough to get you into Kara healing. Where you should be able to pick up the Shard of the Virtuous, unless you are like me and are still pugging it while you are working on Vashj /pout.

Edit- You can get the epic crafted or farm Heroic SL (good luck finding a group for that) for weeks for the epic in their but really they will be replaced quickly and the blues are entirely viable for breaking into Kara. Personally I am of the opinion that halting your progression to farm either is a bad thing.

Pally has 3 main choices for a weapon enchant.

1) +81 heal. The traditional choice, very solid and great way to boost you up into the +1000-1100 range you need to be at to start healing Kara. Not too expensive.

2)+30 int. 450 mana, 1.31% crit chance and +10.5 healing. Not my personal choice but you do see some pallies who rock it.

3) Spellsurge. Only really necessary in 25+ man raiding and only if you have a 'spellsurge' group. Chance on cast to restore 100 mana over 10 seconds for entire party. Get 3-4 healers with that on their weapons, put them with a shadowpriest and they get insane mana efficiency. 10-13 mp5 per person in group. What I have right now with 2 other healers and I have noticed that mana pots are less of a factor now while maintaining lead in heal races!

A mace that should be considered is The Gladiators Salvation, since it's now buyable with honor it's easily grinded in two weeks tops (i don't play alot)

I got it yesterday, and used the Essence Focuser before that, and gosh is it an upgrade!

(And then i had to specc prot anyway, but that's a different story.)

For the most part, I agree. But when it's The Essence Focuser vs Gladiator's Salvation, I've gotta say I can get the mp5 elsewhere. Then again, I've been looking at myself, and I think my ratio of mana/5 to healing is a little high in favor of the mana/5.

OP, 30 int is a ridiculously cheap enchant. At 20g per shard and 4g per essence(my server's prices), I can farm the gold for it in an hour or so of dailies. I'd recommend getting that.

Nice feedback guys, but like Jack said before about PvP. Can't say I'm really drawn to it. I did some here and there but it wasn't all that fun.

The +30 int sounds like a good idea till I get a new one. Spellsurge sounds really cool. I'll have to talk to the 2 priests in the guild about it.

Very interesting, I'll have to see what you need to get this bad boy for the enchanters in the guild.
