- Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
Protection Paladins primarily use gems, enchants, and consumables that increase their Hit, Expertise, Haste, and Mastery to maximize their performance in Mists of Pandaria. Stamina gems are also taken in some scenarios, although it is far better to focus on getting Stamina from Gear, Enchants, and Consumables.
