Season 11 of Diablo 4 presents Paladin players with a fresh lineup of unique items to hunt, each with the potential to dramatically improve your build.

Below you'll find each Paladin unique, drop bosses and the rate you are likely to obtain them.

Diablo 4 Best Paladin Uniques & Drop Locations/Rate

Paladin uniques are primarily farmed from endgame bosses, each with a distinct loot table. The most popular farming spots include Harbinger, Andariel, Duriel, Lord Zir, and others. Most bosses have a similar drop rate for Mythic Uniques, generally estimated by the community to be around 3–5% per kill, or roughly one Mythic drop every 20–30 kills. Group activities and special events, like the Tribute of Ascendance or Prankster Oldstone keys, provide additional chances for Mythics.

1. Herald of Zakarum (Shield)

This shield is universally recognized as one of the strongest items in the entire game for Paladins. It offers a massive 45% block chance and 45% block damage reduction, making your character much tankier.
