MalladinTankadin ftw!
Why ON EARTH do early end-game protection paladins insist on getting warrior tanking gear?
I'm a feral druid and I know that palies need stam/def/int/spell dmg... So why do they keep insisting?
Sure he has a good amount of health and he'd be good at tanking kara BECAUSE he is a paladin, but why does he get gear with str? absolutely useless. Yes I said it: USELESS. Get stam gear and pump it with 6 stam/5 spell dmg gems. The sole purpose of a paladin tanking is 2 things: AoE tanking and DPS like a muther.
http://wowhead.com/?item=27805 isn't unique. Get two of them.
Shoulderguard of the Bold= NO Get Righteous Shoulders.
Eternium Great Helm= NO Get Oathkeeper's or T4 helm.
Shatari Wrought Armguards=NO Get Heroic Drop Bracers
Fel Steel Gloves= OK But why put agility on them? Get 6 stam/5 spell dmg
Fearless Girdle=No
Battlescar Boots=No Get Heroic Drop Boots
And as for improving shield: Get Sha'tar one. Its fairly easy rep to grind.
ok, maybe the druid is getting a lot of pummeling, but i feel the need to chip in
what the hell is "early end game"
before you are uncrushable, that's the first priority, that's why you get avoidance before threat, like someone said, dead tanks produce less threat then live ones, you can get 1 shotted from gruuls if you're open to crushing blows...
pally tank DPS is the worst thing i've ever heard, the only way i can DPS is by AoE'ing, and even then it's not that great... so your friend got 2x more damage in SL, guess what? d3/t4 combo is over-geared for SL... you don't even need blues to tank SL in the first place...
and this is where i say lol nub:
Shatari Wrought Armguards=NO Get Heroic Drop Bracers
Fel Steel Gloves= OK But why put agility on them? Get 6 stam/5 spell dmg
Fearless Girdle=No
Battlescar Boots=No Get Heroic Drop Boots
which heroic drops, if you're going to comment like that, at least tell us which ones and from which instance, or are you just BSing?
agi on gloves is the best avoidance for a paladin, 25 agi = 1% dodge, i would prefer 12 agi to 8 stam if i was tanking something like kara (which i'm not atm)
Fearless girdle=No... ok, tell us what then?
anywho, mine

i overaggroed while offtanking in gruuls and kara
moral of my vent, druid tanks should not impose their tanking mechanics on a paladin tank
