If you are a World of Warcraft fan you know that armor is one of the most important things to think about on your character. If you are a paladin, these are the things you want to think about in your quest for the best armor in the game.
Remember that bonuses are supposed to work in your favor. Don't randomly wear pieces just because of a higher armor value; look for bonuses that will work for you. If you are a holy paladin you will need things that increase healing and manna. If you are a protection paladin, you want increases to defense, increases to spell damage and increases to blocking. For a retribution paladin, you want increases in spell damage, to hit numbers, critical hit numbers, and to attack power.
Step2
Keep your stats in line for the armor and the paladin that you want to create. Holy paladins need intelligence, stamina and spirit. Protection paladins need stamina, strength, and intelligence. Retribution paladins need strength, stamina and intelligence.
Step3
Not all purple items are better than a blue item, nor are all blue items better than a green item. Remember to really look at the pieces on the auction house or that drop off higher ranking mobs. Sometimes the numbers will surprise you.
Step4
That being said, epic pieces that you will want to look for in the game (some are bind on pickup, others bind on equip) are sets designed for paladins like the Justicar set. The Justicar set has three separate sets; the Justicar Armor set for protection paladins, the Justicar Battlegear set for retribution paladins, and the Justicar Raiment for holy paladins. Keep on top of the gear that you want and check the mobs and the auction houses often for the pieces. Soon you'll have the armor that others are just craving.
