This page shows the secondary-stat priority for Protection Paladin, derived from the actual distribution of secondary stats worn by top Mythic raid and Mythic+ parses on WarcraftLogs. The percentages represent the share of total secondary rating on equipped gear, not simulated stat weights. In raid, top players wear Haste (38.9%), Critical Strike (34.3%), Mastery (16.0%), and Versatility (10.8%), yielding the priority Haste > Crit > Mastery > Vers. In Mythic+, the split is Haste 37.7%, Crit 36.2%, Mastery 13.5%, Vers 12.6%, with the same order.
The key takeaway: Haste and Crit dominate, together accounting for about 73% of secondary stats in both settings, while Mastery and Versatility are minor. This suggests you should prioritize Haste and Crit on gear, but note that stat priority can shift with content and gear. When using this table, treat the percentages as a guide for gearing choices—if you're close to a breakpoint, favoring the higher percentage stat aligns with what top performers do.

These weights reflect how the current top Protection Paladin players
actually gear, not a fixed stat weight. They shift slightly between raid and Mythic+ — in M+ you'll
often value a bit more survivability/versatility. Always hit your required ratings and your spec's
breakpoints first; treat this as the tiebreaker when choosing between similar item levels.
