Protection Paladin consumables and regents — getting ready for a raid

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So, you got your gear all pimped up and think you can raid? Excellent! Here is a list of consumables to bring the best out of your Protection Paladin.

(quick explanation about the colored numbers: lowest, recommended, hardcore)

Regents

Symbol of Kings (200+)
Symbol of Divinity (5+)

Food and drinks

Fisherman’s Feast / Spicy Crawdad (20+) — 30 Stamina and 20 Spirit = winner;
Blackened Sporefish, Buzzard Bites, Feltail Delight, Mok’Nathal Shortribs, Tabuk Steak (20+) — to replace the above two;
Blackened Basilisk, Crunchy Serpent, Poached Bluefish (20+) — take this if you need spell damage;

Â Potions

Ironshield Potion (5 10 20) — pop this up while a boss enrages, it’s quite useful;
Super Mana Potion (10 15 20);
Super Healing Potion (5 15 20);

Elixirs

Elixir of Mastery (Battle Elixir) (5 10 15) — +15 stats for 1 hour, who wouldn’t want that?
Adept’s Elixir (Battle Elixir) (5 10 15) — only use if your spell damage is low, otherwise it’s pretty useless;
Elixir of Brute Force (Battle Elixir) (5 10 15) — a good way to get your HP a bit higher. Use in fights where Stamina is everything;
Elixir of Major Mageblood (Guardian Elixir) (5 10 15) — very useful while OT-ing or being the extra tank on trash when we receive no healing;
Elixir of Major Defense (Guardian Elixir) (5 10 15) — +550 Armor is always a nice little buff;
Elixir of Major Fortitude (Guardian Elixir) (5 10 15) — not that good, +250 HP and +10 HP every 5 seconds are not really worth. Take this only if you can’t any of the others;

Flasks

Flask of Fortification / Shattrath Flask of Fortification (1 2 5) — the +10 Defense will probably go to waste and +500 HP is not that much;
Flask of Mighty Restoration / Shattrath Flask of Mighty Restoration (1 2 5) — good when you are not a MT;
Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer (only works in BEM and Gruul’s Lair) (1 2 5) — a nice flask, shame only works in limited places;
Flask of Blinding Light

Oils

Superior Mana Oil (5 10 15)- use during trash;
Superior Wizard Oil (5 10 15) — use during bosses;

What do I use?

Hmm, hard to say. I only recently went for my first 25-man raid and I can say that, looking at the list above, I was kind of unprepared. I only had Regents, Health/Mana Pots, buff food and, by a fortunate coincidence, 5 Superior Mana Oil which a guildy gave me right before I was invited.

But, to be fully prepared I would go for: 20+ Mok’Nathal Shortribs, Super Mana Potion and Super Healing Potion (10+ of each), 5+ Elixir of Mastery, 5+ Elixir of Major Defense, 5+ Superior Mana Oil. If it were Gruul, I would replace the Elixirs with 5+ Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer.
