Protection Paladin Gems & Enchants
The most-used gems for Protection Paladin in Midnight, plus which
slots to enchant — aggregated from real Mythic raid and Mythic+ logs on WarcraftLogs.
Also searched as Prot Paladin.
This page shows what top Protection Paladins actually socket and enchant, based on usage percentages from high-end Mythic raid and Mythic+ parses. The numbers reflect real choices, not simulations.
For gems, the most popular are Flawless Quick Garnet (26.1%), followed closely by Flawless Deadly Peridot (22.7%) and Indecipherable Eversong Diamond (22.6%). Among enchants, the highest adoption is on legs (89.7% enchanted), with the top option being a stamina-heavy enchant. Chest enchants are also common (86.9%), favoring Mark of the Worldsoul. Head enchants see 72.7% usage of Empowered Hex of Leeching.
When reading the table, focus on the usage percentage next to each item. If a slot has a low enchant rate, like Ring 1 at 51.3%, it means many top players skip it, but those who do enchant tend to choose Eyes of the Eagle. Use these numbers as a guide for what the current meta favors, but always consider your own gear and content.
