Paladin Best in Slot (BiS) Gearing Guide – Classic

For Paladins in Classic we’ll want to prioritize AC, then HP/Stamina, then Mana/Wisdom. We should also pay attention to Agility for extra AC where applicable. We’ll also want a haste item and a bow.

Below are stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.

If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
