Protection Paladin Mists of Pandaria: Remix Guide — The War Within Pre-Patch

Welcome to our MoP Remix Guide for Protection Paladin! This page is a primer on Mists of Pandaria Remix; it contains everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Protection Paladin in the Patch 10.2.7 special feature, Mists of Pandaria: Remix.

This page is focused only on Protection Paladin in Mists of Pandaria: Remix. If you want to know more about MoP Remix in general, such as its rewards, check out our dedicated page below.

Below, you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Protection Paladin in MoP Remix. There are various ways of leveling in MoP Remix, and we offer some builds for the most relevant ways.

Note that this Leveling section is specific to MoP Remix. For our Dragonflight Leveling Guide for Protection Paladin, please check our dedicated Leveling page.

The overwhelming majority of your character's strength in MoP Remix comes from the gems you slot into all of the slots in your gear. You will be able to equip a Meta gem, a Cogwheel gem granting you a unique utility ability, along with up to 12 Tinker gems, and all of these grant unique effects.

On this page, we will list the strongest available options, and explain the synergy behind some of them. We'll also highlight gems and tinkers that have little to no value for Protection Paladins.

To learn more about Gems in MoP Remix in general, check out our dedicated page below.

• Meta Gem: Thundering Orb (General use) / Chi-ji, the Red Crane (Open-world content only / Tireless Spirit )
• Cogwheel Gem: Heroic Leap / Blink
• Prismatic Gems:

  Early on, you should focus on Quick Topaz and Versatile Diamond. As you unlock more slots and level up more you will have an abundance of every secondary stat and you should look to have a spread of all secondary stats as you will be hitting diminishing return ceilings on all stats.

• Tinker Gems:
  • Memory of Vengeance
  • Slay
  • Arcanist's Edge (contextual on if you will have a large amount of absorbs available such as AoE scenarios with Bulwark of Order or Moment of Glory)
  • Fervor (Only triggers above 80% HP which should be sustainable at higher levels of gear)
  • Windweaver
  • Brittle (Dungeons or AoE)
  • Sunstrider's Flourish (Dungeons or AoE)
  • Explosive Barrage
  • Lightning Rod
  • Incendiary Terror
  • Quick Strike
  • Wildfire (Dungeons or AoE)
  • Meteor Storm

The following gems are not beneficial for Protection Paladins:

Tinker Gems

• Deliverance: Your healing is quite infrequent and the opportunity cost of this tinker compared to others is too high.
• Savior: You actively should not be healing others in standard gameplay.
• Searing Light: Your healing is quite infrequent and the opportunity cost of this tinker compared to others is too high
• Vindication / Bloodthirsty Coral: If your group needs healing this either of this tinker could fill that void, but ultimately, in MoP Remix, everyone will be quite self sustaining.
• Righteous Frenzy: You actively should not be healing others in standard gameplay.
• Brilliance: Only affects Mana/Rage/Energy, and has no effect on Holy Power.
