Protection Paladin

Below are the recommended gems & enchants based on the Stat Priority Guide. As mentioned there, the recommended Stat Priority (which determines these recomendations) are generalized to be well-suited for most players. However, simulating your own character will always give the most accurate stat weights.

Stat Priority

Strength > Haste > Critical Strike > Versatility > Mastery > Bonusarmor > Armor > Stamina >= Leech

• Strength increases your attack power and the damage dealt by your abilities. Further, Strength slightly increases your chance to Parry.
• Haste increases attack and spell casting speed, adds additional damage and healing to DoTs and HoTs, and reduces the GCD.
