PvP Rewards
The epic sets are from scoring high in the Arena, the blue ones are just bought with Honor points. Class-specific, available in different flavours although none directly boost any talent-skill, so you're free to choose as you want.
Gladiator's Aegis (Spell-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=582
Gladiator's Redemption (Healing): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=690
Gladiator's Vindication (Melee-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=583
Merciless Gladiator's Aegis (Spell-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=700
Merciless Gladiator's Redemption (Healing): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=708
Merciless Gladiator's Vindication (Melee-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=714
Grand Marshal's Aegis (Spell-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=589
Grand Marshal's Vindication (Melee-focused): http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=607


Although one should note that the T4 Retri set only needs 11 points in Retribution to give it's full benefit, and T5 Retri/Holy sets don't need that specs technically at all - if you like their stats and bonuses, can just as well get them with the "wrong" spec.
Likewise, none of the T6 sets needs any tree-specific spells/abilities.

Also, while not a set, I feel I have to add the final upgrade of the plate-chestplate only Armorsmiths can make.

Thanks for doing all the work! Sticky please!

Update 18.01.2007:
Added PvP sets for both Arena and "normal" PvP.

Update 18.01.2007:
Added craftable sets. Will update if more plans are found in high-end instances, of course.

If you find any specific sets I missed, tell me. ;)

(edit)
Thankies for sticky-ing :P

Seriously, very nice work, a lot of us know exactly what we want to do with our paladins (well, we think we do ;)) but simply dont know where to get the gear yet due to instances with silly names. Hopefully this will get me to that MT1 spot in guild :)

I love the idea and have requested a sticky.

A nice addition would be the inclusion of PvP rewards, armor related that is (Arena mostly). After all, weapons and trinkets usually come in such a variety that they become too dependant on the flavour of the player.

P.S. Finally someone else that favours WoWhead over Thottbot. Don’t get me wrong, both have an extensive library: it’s just that WoWhead offers a faster and easier searching mechanism.

And the WoWhead-looter addon causes no stutter-lag on EQUIPMENT_CHANGED and BAG_UPDATE events, contrary to the gatherer-addons for Thottbot or Allakhazam :P


(edit)
Will dig around about the PvP sets. Info there is a bit scarce, as I am trying to find out whether the BE sets differ in more than looks and such stuff. And about the weapons I dunno. I might add them, but generally this was more about sets, as even between 10 people specced Holy, you'd probably find 10 different favorites for their weapon of course ^_^

Was looking around at the Crystalforge and Justicar sets yesterday and the variants of each seemed quite similar to each other (prot to prot / ret to ret / holy to holy), by this I mean the "Tier 4" did not seem vastly superior to the "Tier 5" - is the info shown there old? or did they change things quite recently?

note: I could swear blind both prot versions chest plates had around 1350 armour. I spent quite a while running back and forth examining them - I'll check again after I finish work.

Tier 5 stats are worse in some cases than Tier 4 stats, the general consensus is that Blizzard are still tweaking. From what I hear people have already started dinging 70 so I guess they need to tweak faster.

That's why I meant to say you don't have to add weapons and jewelry: they are too dependant on player flavour, aka talents and trinket-usage. Just imagine having to link every +spelldmg, +crit, 1-handed or 2-handed weapon, not to even mention DPS. Then there's jewelry that some like with "on use" specials, while others prefer passive bonuses.

Just stick to armor-sets, weapons and jewelry is a free-for-all and don't belong here :)

Funny thing is that me myself, despite being 44 Holy / 10 Retri / 7 Prot @70, I'll go for the Prot set I think. Maybe Retri, but likely Prot.

Think is, Prot got a lot of manaregen, and contrary to the Holy set not only Healing, but Damage/Healing. Which is far superior IMO, since SoR with Holy spec + lots of spelldamage is quite the beast.


Although I might go for T4 Healing, and T5 Prot. I like that combination ^_^

Very nice work with the sets, I like it, thanks a lot. And now to choose...

Hmm for some reason these links aren't working :(

Edit: Just checked wowhead, the site seems to be down so the links are fine I believe.

Yes, worked a good 2 hours ago though, weird...
Was my Draenei Priest spec so overpowered it broke the site? :D

Rofl, probably

I guess it will be fixed eventually, so will have a look see :)

ooh its so fun that the pages work as well....

Typical effect of showing something off - wanted to show how superior Wowhead is to Thottbot, badamm, first day since it's opening it's down. Figures. :P

Wowhead.com works again \o/

where u get tier 4 or 5.....which instances???

I should have a word with the designers about those sucky outfits...
