WoW SoD Paladin Best in Slot

Here you’ll find the WoW SoD Paladin Best in Slot Gearsets. Learn how to gear your Hunter in World of Warcraft Season of Discovery.

In this guide series, we’ll look at your ideal best-in-slot items heading into Phase 3. These guides will be updated before and during Phase 3 to represent the BiS list best as new items are added, discovered and or theory crafted. If you have any issues with the guide or want to help improve it, head to our Contact Us page and send me an email. But please be nice, and remember, it’s only a game.

You can find our other class BiS lists below, with links to the pages once those are live. Each page will be for a specific Class, with individual specs lists (such as 3 builds for Paladin 1 for each spec) when that is suitable.

Druid
Hunter
Mage
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warlock
Warrior

Note: These guides will contain Best in Slot gear for each phase, with the newest one on top. We also differentiate between the different specs and pre-raid BiS and BiS for each spec. We’ll also list the stat priority for each spec in case you want to substitute your gear.
