Paladin Tank best in slot at level
The best gear for a level 30 Paladin in WoW Forever, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Tank list: Stamina first, then spell power, Intellect and block, then Defense and Agility. Spell power and Intellect are for threat: in Forever a paladin's threat is Holy damage, and Intellect pays for Consecration.
Itemization changed significantly in WoW Forever. We will update these lists as soon as we can better model the stats.
Lists up to date with build 70755 (November 3). Some items are yet to be found, so the lists will keep changing.
