Enchants & Gems

The enchants and gems most-used by the top players, per slot. Each enchant's % is how many of them run it; enchant pills link to the consumable that applies it.

Embellishments

Special effects added to crafted gear — only two can be equipped, so the choice matters. These are the most-used among the top players (% = how many run each).

Consumables

The recommended flask, food, potion, augment rune and weapon oil for this spec — use these every pull.

FAQ

How is this Protection Paladin guide made?
It aggregates the live armory profiles of the current top-ranked Protection Paladin players — ranked by their in-game Mythic+ rating — through the Blizzard Profile API, then shows the gear, talents, stats, enchants, gems and embellishments they actually have equipped. It is observed data from real characters, not a simulation.
Is this the best-in-slot (BiS) gear for Protection Paladin?
It is the observed best-in-slot: the gear, gems and enchants most-equipped by the highest-rated Paladins right now. Treat it as a strong starting point and still sim your own character for the final call.
What is the difference between the Raid and Mythic+ builds?
RAID shows what top raiders have equipped, M+ shows what top Mythic+ players use, and ALL shows both. They often differ because raiding and Mythic+ reward different talents and stats.
How current is this Protection Paladin guide?
It reflects WoW Midnight Season 1 (Patch 12.0.x) and only counts current-tier gear. The update time below shows how fresh the underlying armory snapshots are.
Why is my character not listed in the top Paladins?
We only sample the current top players by Mythic+ rating. Low rating, inactivity, frequent spec changes, or off-tier gear will keep a character out of the list.
Data sourced from the Blizzard Profile API, aggregated from the top-ranked Paladins — sourced from leading raid-guild rosters and the highest in-game Mythic+ ratings. This shows the gear, talents and stats those players actually have equipped — observed from live armories, not a simulation. Sample sizes are shown per build — interpret accordingly. Updated 4h ago.
