Hello, WoW aficionados! It's great to have you back! Today, we're venturing into the realm of Paladins during Classic WoW's Season of Discovery. Whether you're channelling the divine as a Holy Paladin, dealing righteous damage as a Ret Paladin, or standing firm as a Tank Paladin, we've prepared the ultimate pre-raid Best in Slot (BiS) gear guide just for you.

 

• Holy Paladin
• Ret Paladin
• Tank Paladin

 

 

↖ Holy Paladin

• Helmet: Spellpower Goggles Xtreme might be tough to find, but they're gold. Can't snag them? Bright-Eye Goggles are fine.
• Neck: Glowing Green Talisman. Because who doesn't enjoy mana regeneration?
• Shoulders: Feline Mantle from Shadowfang Keep. Magician's Mantle is another option, although it is more expensive.
• Cape: Caretaker's Cape from Silverwing Sentinels. If it's out of reach, Resilient Cape is a solid plan B.
• Chest: From Shadowfang Keep, the Robes of Arugal. Until then, Bright Armor is a budget-friendly option.
• Bracers: Durable Bracers for intellect boost. Or, grab Owl Bracers as a decent second choice.
• Gloves: Truefaith Gloves.  tailor-made for healing success. Magefist Gloves are a good backup.
• Belt: Belt of Arugal.  another Shadowfang Keep classic. As well as Wizard's Belt, it works well.
• Legs: Silver-thread Pants. great for healers. Alternatively, you can choose the Darkweave Breeches.
• Boots: Silver-thread Boots for intellect and stamina. Can't find them? Resilient Boots are an easy find.
• Rings: Lorekeeper's Ring and Lavishly Jeweled Ring. Both are solid choices for a Holy Paladin.
• Trinkets: Trinkets are tricky at this level, but Arena Grandmaster and Rune of Duty can be placeholders.

 

↖ Ret Paladin

• Helmet: Sparkmetal Coif from Duskwood quests. If not, Humbert's Helm is a great alternative.
• Neck: Sentinel's Medallion for some PvP fun. Get it from the Silverwing Sentinels.
• Shoulders: Bristlebark Amice. If you can afford it. Otherwise, Glimmering Mail Pauldrons won't disappoint.
• Cape: Slayer's Cape for that strength boost. Cape of the Brotherhood is a decent second.
• Chest: Shining Silver Breastplate if you're into blacksmithing. If not, Mutant Scale Breastplate is a great drop
• Bracers: Slayer's Cuffs are easy to find and effective.
• Gloves: Void Touch Leather Gloves for leatherworkers. Glimmering Mail Gauntlets work well too.
• Belt: Cobran's Grasp drops at a nice rate. Emblazoned Belt is a common auction house find.
• Legs: You can't go wrong with Glimmering Mail Legguards. Quests can be found at the Chausses of Westfall.
• Boots: Lynx Feet if you're feeling rich. In any case, Slayer's Slippers are a solid choice.
• Rings: Thunderbrow Rings are excellent. An excellent alternative is Protector's Band.
• Trinkets: Trinket options are limited, but Arena Grandmaster adds some survivability.

 

↖ Tank Paladin

• Helmet: Sparkmetal Coif or Humbert's Helm. Either works great for tanking.
• Neck: Sentinel's Medallion once again, for that extra durability.
• Shoulders: Bristlebark Amice if you can, otherwise Glimmering Mail Pauldrons.
• Cape: Slayer's Cape for strength and stamina.
• Chest: Shining Silver Breastplate or Mutant Scale Breastplate from Wailing Caverns.
• Bracers: Slayer's Cuffs. Easy to get and effective for tanking.
• Gloves: Green Iron Gauntlets or Glimmering Mail Gauntlets with a strength enchant.
• Belt: Belt of the Stars from Duskwood quests. Slayer's Sash is a good auction house find
• Legs: Chausses of Westfall for a mix of stamina and strength
• Boots: Green Iron Boots are a perfect fit. They're a bit pricey but worth it.
• Rings: Protector's Band and Seal of Wryn are both solid picks.
• Trinkets: Arena Grandmaster for that emergency shield. Rune of Duty for a bit of extra stamina.
