Protection Paladin Best in Slot — MoP, Pre-Raid
Pre-raid entry point for fresh 90s in the final MoP phase: Celestial Dungeons drop Siege of Orgrimmar Normal-level loot. Icy Veins has no Phase 5 pre-raid table for this spec, so this list is derived from its Phase 5 BiS list — the same items at Normal item level, obtainable via Celestial Dungeons (this mirrors how Icy Veins builds its Phase 5 pre-raid lists for Warriors and Holy Paladins). Enchants and gems match our SoO list (same patch). Draft from Icy Veins MoP Classic guides.
