Shockadin Paladin PvP best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 20 Paladin in the WoW Forever beta, with stats and sources for every item. Spell power first, then Stamina, then Intellect. Holy Shock only comes at level 30. The $100,000 duel tournament (October 17 and 18) is played at level 30.

What the first item of each slot adds, two rings and the enchants listed counted. Classic had no Undead Paladin, so there are no base stats to add them to.

Campfire buffs come on top of these: sit by a campfire for a minute and each object placed around it gives its buff for an hour. The duel tournament bans them.

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for duels and battlegrounds at the level 20 cap: weapon damage, then the main stat and Stamina. Quests marked “in Classic” come from Classic’s data: Forever may have moved their level. Seen something better on a stream or in your bags? Tell us through the note at the bottom right.

The Paladin buffs and nerfs of each beta update are in the patch notes.
