Holy paladin Consumables and enchants

[preasmd]

I cannot find a decent guide that lists enchants and consumables. It is my understanding that int elixirs don't stack with AI? Any help or advice would be much appreciated

ENCHANTING

-----Enchanting as a PvE Paladin is easy. Simply:
Head = Zul’Gurub helm/leg enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Friendly) or Lesser Arcanum of Voracity (because there are never enough Primal Hakkari Idols)
Shoulders = Zul’Gurub +Healing enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Exalted)
Bracers = +24 Healing OR 4MP5
Chest= +100 Mana (cheap) OR +4 Stats (use the latter at higher gear levels)
Legs = Zul’Gurub helm/leg enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Friendly)
Boots = 7 Stamina OR Minor Speed Increase (matter of taste)
Cloak = 15 FR / 15 NR (dependent on progression) OR 2% Threat Reduction [Subtlety]
Shield = 7 Stamina
Weapon = +55 Healing

-----Enchanting as a PvP Paladin is as easy. Simply:
Head = Zul’Gurub helm/leg enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Friendly) or Lesser Arcanum of Constitution (because there are never enough Primal Hakkari Idols)
Shoulders = Zul’Gurub +Healing enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Exalted)
Bracers = +9 Stamina
Chest= +100 Health (cheap) OR +4 Stats (use the latter at higher gear levels)
Legs = Zul’Gurub helm/leg enchant (Requires Zandalar Tribe: Friendly)
Boots = 7 Stamina OR Minor Speed Increase (matter of taste)
Cloak = 5 Resistance (cheap) or 1% Dodge
Shield = 7 Stamina
Weapon = +55 Healing

CONSUMABLES

Includes a full list of consumables, a calculation of the most economic approach and a discussion about the necessity.

-----Here you will find a complete table of buff foods. Your first impression might be, that this is a far too long/expensive list, far too demanding. That's why I'd like to calculate buff food from the cheapest (regarding the effect) towards the most expensive. A discussion regarding the necessity of buff food might be interesting as well, seeing that the class design of a paladin (mana efficient, can't "burst heal" as much) in comparison with other healer classes (mana problems, but can use excessive amounts of mana for excessive amounts of heal like grp heal or on other preventive mechanics like hots, shields) might not be as promising/demanding for all kinds of buff food.

• Flask of Distilled Wisdom
• Major Mana Potion
• Brilliant Mana Oil
• Mageblood Potion
• Elixir of Greater Intellect
• Sagefish Delight
• Nightfin Soup
• Demonic Rune / *Dark Rune
• Elixir of the Sages
• Rumsey Rum Black Label
• Scroll of Intellect IV
• Scroll of Spirit IV
• Scroll of Stamina IV
• Scroll of Protection IV
• Crystal Force

Note: Since the core merge Sagefish Delight and Nightfin Soup stack.

Fights like Viscidus, C’Thun, most encounters in Naxxramas can all benefit from resistance potions, Flask of the Titans, and stamina food. For anyone who wants to say "but we have Divine Shield". Yes we have. But it only helps as long you know what's going to kill you, activate it fast enough and last but not least have the CD ready.

• Flask of the Titans
• Elixir of Fortitude
• Elixir of Greater/Superior Defense
• Major Troll's Blood Potion
• Greater Nature/Shadow/Frost/Arcane/Fire Protection Potion
• Crystal Ward
• Monster Omelet (stacks with Dirge’s Kickin’Chimaerock Chops)
• Dirge's Kickin'Chimaerok Chops
• Noggenfogger Elixir (size reduction actually reduces your hit box on this server)
• Magic Resistance Potion
• Swiftness Potion
• Limited Invulnerability Potion

-----The healing guide for restro shamans starts like this: Hands down, the most important preemptive measure to raiding a Resto Shaman can take. Consumables. Hate them or love them, it is literally impossible to survive in Vanilla without them especially on this server where everyone and their mother uses them. ... So in short, Consumables are somewhat important and many serious raider wear them like a badge of pride, as proof of their skill and dedication.

This offers two questions:

Which consumables should we use, given a budget?
Interesting numbers in the tableau. Brilliant Mana Oil, Nightfin Soup and Sagefish are the best progress buffmats. Greater and Superior Mana Potion are suprisingly good. Flasks are nowhere good.

Do I have to use consumables? And if so, which ones?
Static consumables are no must have on all fights but on some (except maybe for Brilliant Mana Oil which is always great). Having Runes and Mana Potions of every sort in your bags on the other side is a requirement without question. Static consumables - be it the protection potion, stamina food, mana enhancing stuff - are dependent on the boss fight.

List of buffs for special progress gained in instances or that are unique
Slip'kik's Savvy - Increases your Spellcrit by 3% for 2 hours. DM North Tribut Run. Useful for Progression Raids.
Fengus' Ferocity - Increases your AP by 200 for 2 hours. DM North Tribut Run. No use for Healing Purposes.
Mol'dar's Moxie - Overall Stamina increased by 15% for 2 hours. DM North Tribut Run. Useful for Progression Raids.
Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer - 140 AP, 10% Spellcrit, 5% Meleecrit. Turning in Onyxia's or Nefarian's Head.
Spirit of Zanza - Increases Stamina and Spirit by 50 for 2 hours. Gained for 1 Token from the Zandalar Tribe. Unique but a potion so can be used when needed the most.
Spirit of Zandalar - Increases Stats by 15% and Running speed by 10% for 2 hours. Gained by turning in the Heart of Hakkar.
Blasted Land Buffs - Increases 1 Stat by 25 for 1 hour. Gained by finishing the Quests of Bloodmage Lynnore and Bloodmage Drazial. The buff is given by completing the quest as well by the item gained by the quest. It takes a lot of time to farm, so the Ratio (value/efford) is expected to be very low. Every stat has its own Quest and required Items.
Sayge's Fortune - Offers either 10% to a Stat, 10% to Armor, 25 to all Resistances or 1-10% on damage. Buffs are exclusive, so we go for 10% Intellect by clicking two times the second option.

The only recommended buffs for a standard raid are Sayge's Fortune if the Darkmoon Faire has set it's tents next to your town and Spirit of Zanza. All the other buffs should or have to be ordered or organised by your raidlead. Especially forming a group for a tribut run before a raid might not considerable increase your Healoutput, but is a godly buff setup for your tanks and melee. So help out if needed.

Check out my consumables list for what you can use. Note that the above by JCarrill0 has multiple items that get overwritten with basic raid buffing so it could lead you astray a bit.
