Stats and Itemization

Before obtaining best-in-slot gear, pick gear and meld according to stat priority on each piece of gear. A detailed breakdown of Paladin's stat priority is included at the bottom of this page.

Because of stat tiering, the Tank Gear Calculator gets the last word on any specific gearing questions.
