Paladin Multi-Spec Farming Route

Gear up multiple Paladin specs from one loot run. For each boss / source below you'll see which BiS pieces drop, which specs want each one, and the recommended loot specialization to set when you kill it (Midnight Season 2).

This page ranks sources by how many of the Paladin class's spec BiS items they drop, based on top parses from The Venomous Abyss S2. The table shows the source, the count of BiS items, and the loot spec recommended to maximize drops for your off-specs. Top players favor Tier Set tokens most, with 5 BiS items, and Holy is the recommended loot spec there. Altar of Fangs follows with 4 BiS items, favoring Protection. For example, the Pauldrons of the Consecrated Flame are used by all three specs, while the Strand of Warding Fangs is shared by Protection and Retribution. When farming, set your loot specialization to the spec listed next to each source—this increases the chance of getting items that are BiS for your other specs. Note that usage percentages reflect what top players wear, not item strength comparisons. Use the table to plan efficient runs: prioritize Tier Set tokens and Altar of Fangs for the highest yield.
