The engine's default encounter: one raid-boss target (level 63) for two minutes, give or take fifteen seconds, with no movement and no adds.

Are these Classic trinkets or Forever trinkets?
The board uses the pinned engine database: Forever client data plus inherited items. Known later-raid rewards are left out of the launch pool. Some sources, availability and item effects still need confirming. Item popups show catalog stats; Wowhead is an outside reference and doesn't cover everything.
How often is the Shockadin Paladin trinket leaderboard updated?
After engine updates. The methodology on this page shows the wowsims Forever build and the date the board was simmed on.
Are these results from real character data or theorycrafted?
They're simmed. Each trinket runs 10,000 wowsims Forever iterations alone in the first slot on a fixed Shockadin Paladin reference build, against a baseline with no trinkets. Your own gear and talents will shift the numbers, so paste your character into the form above for your own result.
