ok if you are all such good tanks you must not know how to spec or somthing… who the fuck goes into divine sacrafice… that is the most pointless skill in the game also as you can tank even half way good you can hold agro and pull agro put it somwhere else

/agree! there’s so much talk about tanks doing damage in here. yes it is important for you to do damage to maintain threat, and yes, more damage equals more threat. but when you’re surpassing everyone else on threat by 3k-4k tps, why continue to stack it. stack stamina, increase mitigation or avoidence, improve healing intake. threat is a non issue now with RF. make your selves survivable, and it will result in less wipes. if dps pulls off you, rethink your tanking tactics, not the amount of damage you put out. damage is not your job.

As for the talents, get out of the ret tree. Deflection is good, Improved judgement, just to help spell rotation. Other wise, stop playing in it. Nothing in there helps you tank better. Divine guardian is a must, so is divinity, so is Improved devotion aura, so is pretty much everything in that tree. Holy should be ignored, don’t do seals of the pure just to boost damage. And don’t take persuit of justice either. You aren’t going to be disarmed any time soon by these bosses, since none of them disarm. If they do, get a weapon chain put on your weapon or make a second spec just for having to deal with that, but other wise, ignore it and help out your healers. Paladins don’t have the health to be fiddling with gimping their healers.

DPS or Tank. Not both.

You don’t want more attacks because this causes the boss to have a higher chance of parrying your attacks and resetting how often they swing and thus doing more damage to you. This is why melee NEVER stands in front of a boss because they will cause the boss to parry an attack, reset their swing, and will slam the tank harder.

Reckoning is a leveling talent, not a tanking talent. If you’re having problem with threat, put the threat enchant on your gloves. Other wise, it only does bad things to you.

As for doing damage as a tank, whoa, stop right there.. You’re a tank, not a dps. While some dps is useful, your job is to keep yourselve alive, not out DPS anyone else. Which, you aren’t even going to come close to anyway. If you want to do dps, level a dps, not a tank. And no, threat is not an issue, again. Most of your threat comes from Righteous fury, which is based on your spells, which your primary spell for making everything hate you is consencrate. Don’t worry about hitting faster, more often, or even harder. It’s a non-issue.

While most of you are arguing about talents that involve play style and spells that aren’t used much, you all seem to be missing out on how valuable the Reckoning talent can be. I use all 5 points here and it proc’s a LOT. Especially with multiple mobs and on lengthy single target fights. Having twice as many attacks means more damage, threat, etc. If you haven’t played with this, you should give it a try.
