Stat Priority
Stats are crucial attributes that influence a character's power in World of Warcraft. They determine the character's strength and overall playstyle. Stat bonuses can be found on various equipment pieces, consumables created by Alchemy, certain foods, some enchantments, and gems.
Each stat experiences diminishing returns once its equipped bonus reaches +20%. Optimizing a character's performance involves finding a balanced distribution. Here is how Fatpala's Secondary and Minor stats are distributed:
Secondary Stats
- Haste
- Versatility
- Mastery
- Critical Strike
Minor Stats
- Leech
- Speed
- Avoidance
Class Talents
Talents are the main element defining a character's build, significantly influencing playstyle by adding, modifying, and enhancing abilities and behaviors. They are crucial in shaping how a character functions in battle.
Class talents represent a common tree shared across all Paladin specializations. These talents provide foundational skills and enhancements essential to the Paladin class. They offer a range of abilities that lay the groundwork for a Paladin's overall capabilities.
Specialization Talents
Specialization talents provide Lightsmith Protection Paladins with unique abilities and enhancements tailored to their combat style.
Hero Talents
Hero talents allow deeper customization of the Protection Paladin class fantasy, enhancing character builds.

Gear
Gear consists of items that directly determine a character's power level. It can be acquired from various sources: dungeons, raids, world drops, crafted through professions, obtained from PvP vendors, or chosen as rewards from the Great Vault.
Each piece of gear significantly boosts a character's overall strength and capabilities. Here is Fatpala's gear for each equipment slot:
Shoulders
Trinkets
Main Hand
Off Hand
Embellishments
Embellishments are unique effects associated with crafted items, either as predefined elements in a recipe or added with an optional embellishment reagent, creating embellished gear. These enhancements diversify and amplify characters' capabilities.
Given that only a maximum of two embellished items can be equipped at a time, here are Fatpala's embellishments:
Enchantments
Enchantments provide minor yet valuable enhancements to various items, including Back, Chest, Wrist, Legs, Rings, Feet, Main Hand, and Off Hand.
Most enchantments are crafted via the Enchanting profession. However, Legs enhancements are crafted by Leatherworkers.
Enchantments are usually available at the auction house, making them accessible for upgrades. Here are the specific enchantments chosen by Fatpala for each equipment slot:
Chest
Wrist
Legs
Ring 1
Ring 2
Main Hand
Gems
Gems are crafted stones from the Jewelcrafting profession that provide stat bonuses to improve gear and fine-tune character stats. These gems can be socketed into various item slots, including Head, Neck, Wrist, Waist, and Rings.
While the availability of sockets on these items is generally random when they drop, Head, Wrist, and Waist items can have a single socket added using the Nerubian Gemweaver , which costs 6 Algari Token of Merit obtained from the Great Vault.
Additionally, for non-PvP Neck and Rings items, sockets can be added with the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting . This item, crafted by Jewelcrafters, can increase the number of sockets to 2 for Neck and Rings slots.
Available through both the auction house and the crafting order system, here are the gems currently socketed by Fatpala:
Citrine Gems
Citrine Gems are a new type of gem socketed into the Cyrce’s Circlet : a powerful ring introduced in World of Warcraft’s The War Within 11.0.7 patch. These gems provide a versatile range of effects to enhance performance in battle.
Obtained through various activities on Siren Isle, Citrine Gems are a compelling choice for adventurers wielding the Cyrce’s Circlet. Here are the Citrine Gems socketed on Fatpala's Circlet:
