Protection Paladin stat priority
Each guide's stat order as it gives it, the sim's stat weights, then ours. Guides dated before the last big tuning are shown but not counted.
Guides differSpell power first on one guide, Weapon damage first on another.
| Where | Stat order |
|---|---|
| Guide · 1 Oct PvE, level 30 · read 12 Oct | Spell power › Hit › Stamina › Defense › Armor › Block › Intellect › Strength › Agility |
| Guide · 1 Oct PvE, level 20 · read 12 Oct | Weapon damage › Hit › Strength › Intellect › Spell power › Stamina › Armor |
| Guide · 25 Sep leveling, level 30 · read 12 Oct · dated before 1 Oct, not counted | Not ranked |
| Sim · stat weights level 60 · run 12 Oct, 5,000 iterations | Per 1%: Expertise 3.37 tied with Crit 3.33 › Attack speed 2.33 › Spell crit 0.0592 Per point: Main-hand weapon DPS 1.23 › Spell damage 0.285 › Strength 0.193 › Agility 0.186 › Attack power 0.0876 › Armour penetration 0.0263 › Intellect 0.0009 No DPS change in this run: Stamina, Hit, Spell hit, Defense skill, Block, Block value, Dodge, Parry, Armour, Bonus armour. The DPS each stat adds, for a level-60 character on the engine's preset gear in a 2-minute fight on a beta engine, for damage only: a direction, not a verdict. = marks a tie: stats within each other's margin. Not counted toward "Guides agree". Where they differ: ours puts Intellect before Strength, which the sim weighs higher per point; the sim measured no DPS change from Stamina and Block value. |
| Ours Recommendation | Stamina › Defense › Spell power › Intellect › Block value › Hit or expertise › Strength Ours adds Block value, which neither guide lists. Where ours differs: ours puts Stamina before Spell power and Hit or expertise, which both guides rank higher; ours puts Intellect before Hit or expertise, which both guides rank higher. |
