Protection Paladin Tank Season of Mastery Phase 5 Gear

Protection Paladin Season of Mastery Best in Slot (BiS) List for Ahn'Qiraj
This is the gear we recommend to chase while doing the new raid in the game: AQ40.
Paladin's Tier 1, Lawbringer Armor and Tier 2, Judgement Armor, are not entirely designed for Tank Paladins, but the spell damage can give a nice threat boost for some fights, mostly for AOE tanking. Most of your 'tanky' BiS setup in this phase will come from off pieces from Ahn'Qiraj, Blackwing Lair, Molten Core, or even just dungeon gear in some slots. In Ahn'Qiraj, there is a huge variety of possible Protection Paladin gear available which many Warriors besides the main tanks will probably not use. The more offensive items in the list are considered to be a threat boost and are usable if needed.
The list below contains gear from: Raids, epic PvP sets (above rank 11), as well as some gear from dungeons and quests, when warranted. The list will contain spell damage (Threat) gear and stats (Survivability) gear with the Judgement Armor as spell damage option.

Other Best in Slot Lists
As this list is meant to be used for Protection Paladins in WoW Classic's Season of Mastery, we have created separate gear lists for those interested in optimizing themselves for the "main" branch of Classic instead. If you are not playing in the Season of Mastery, it is recommended that you consult this gear hub instead. In case you still need it, we have also included a link to our Phase 1/2 Season of Mastery gear list.
In addition, because Blackwing Lair, Molten Core, and Onyxia's Lair may require the use of additional Fire Resistance, we have a separate guide below to optimize your gear for this stat if necessary.
