How this works: ONN ranks every item a Paladin can use up to level 30, using stat weights for the spec. Where the WoW: Forever client shows different stats (seen by ONN Reporter players), those are used and marked "Forever stats". Sources come from the open CMaNGOS classic database and ONN Reporter. Random-bonus items ("of the Bear") and set bonuses aren't counted. Forever may still change drops, so check the item page.
