Default Fresh Pally - most impactful raid drops

Dinged 60 on my pally. Basically tunnel geared besides a Great Spear of the Dawn. As I look ahead to prioritizing raid items, what do you think are the most impactful items to go after first?

Fiery Avenger, just so you have something to 2h bash with, then swap back to great spear.

In no particular order: Narandi crown, 41% haste (so you can Yaulp4 with VoG) ideally Gauntlets of Dragon Slaying, ring 9 and eventually 10, two Beni bracers, two HGL’s, Cloak of Silver Eyes (cheap and for the DKP cost is basically BiS).

I would also fill out your bags with the typical useful stuff. Invis rings, leatherfoot cap, Thurg potion, OT mallet, Soulfire, etc.

Otherwise just focus on the lowest HP slots to maximize your gains. 6k raid buffed is a nice North Star to set your priorities to.

Definitely be opportunistic with your DKP and get bargains wherever possible, for survivability more so than BiS. Anything along the lines of flurry shield, vindi boots/bp, cek claw, cloak of silver eyes, etc. If I was gearing an alt, not as concerned with maximizing HP, I would grab things like koi orb and save for vulak axe / tuna flamberge first, as either weapon would add more oomph to solo and group settings. That said, my retired paladin has dawncaller spear and got a lot of mileage out of it. Even when soloing, jousting undead, it was a nice change of pace being able to sit and med or dwbp while the proc did its thing, occasionally finishing off the target.

There are a few mainstays that you can't go wrong with, though they will cost more, namely ring 10 and crown of narandi, but both are worth it even just for the effects.

Rocksmasher is low key really nice if you're not STA capped and don't have good haste. Obviously Vindi BP / BoE, vindi boots, Yeli gloves and dain belt, also cek claw, flurry shield combo are things to pick up early. Also whatever the good pieces of HoT armor are, etc.

That said, I'd pretty quickly beeline for a primal, esp. if soloing is something you like to do.

Isn't there an argument for AC if focusing on solo(which you should as a pally). Forget what the knight one is i've heard like 1200 minimum or something makes a huge difference.
