Protection Paladin Tank Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.0.2

In general, the gearing you will do with gems and enchants will all go the same direction as the general way of gearing your character for specific stats. You can read more about it in the Stat page linked below.

You should use Leviathan's Eye of Strength in one socket, and Quick Jewel Cluster (or the cheaper Quick Jewel Doublet) in all other sockets.

Use Spectral Flask of Power for most content — only use Spectral Flask of Stamina if the encounter requires you to have a larger health pool to survive specific spike damage events.

Shadowcore Oil should be placed on your weapon to provide passive damage, and also enhance the power of your combat potions.

When in combat, you have several options for which in-combat potion to use. For both of these potions you should use Shadowcore Oil on your weapon to enhance the power of them.

• Potion of Phantom Fire should be used when potting for damage.
• Potion of Empowered Exorcisms should be used in Mythic+ where you can reliably tank multiple targets for its full duration.
• Potion of Spectral Strength can be used as a general purpose potion.

You should use Spiritual Healing Potion for in-combat healing. Healing potions do not share a cooldown with Healthstones, so you can use both independently if you have access to a Warlock.

Use Tenebrous Crown Roast Aspic as your Haste food buff of choice.

Use Heavy Desolate Armor Kit as it provides you with the most Stamina.

If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
