7K to spend on a paladin to make a big impact, what should I buy?

this is terrible advice, buy jboots and do not rely on sow potions.

I own 0 pairs of JBoots and I can't say I've ever died from lacking them, and any time I need to travel I always have a SoW potion so I'll get there 20% faster than a JBoot wearer and when I go indoors my runspeed buff lasts twice as long.

SoW Potions rock socks. No reason to get JBoots unless you can't hold 2-3 potions.

Right back at you. I'd say your earlier dismissal of haste as "overrated" is the most terrible advice in this thread.

I used SoW pots for a long time on most of my characters and loved the shit out of them because they're cheap, faster than jboots (if you're higher than L9), and can be used to buff somebody else. My cleric still carries a 10-charge just to be able to buff a puller when necessary.

The convenience of jboots (unlimited charges so no resupply) is very nice, but it's pure convenience and not a necessity.

The insta-click non-targeted junkbuff aspect of jboots is fantastic in certain content at high level, but that's far from important at lower level. When I raided I valued the junkbuff more than the convenience.

JBoots MQ goes for 7k-ish these days, that's well over 700 charges of SoW if you vendor your 10-charge when it has 1 charge left. Most of your SoW should come from groupmates & others, so effectively you could rely on SoW pots forever unless you play in content where the junkbuff is important (basicly a fraction of outdoor raid content.)
