have to agree with the above poster but i will clear up some things, 540 is the defence min, those who say 545 are smoking some strong stuff and should share. It works off weapon DPS eg. the 116 part. depending on spec and stuff vengence is indeed the way to go, still need to try out thingo's random spec; and in short diminishing returns is just the more you stack the more rating you need to get the same effect, best way to think of it is like a junky trying to get his fix
The more he has the more he needs to get the same kick.

For my questions:
-What exactly is deminishing returns...tried reading about it in other forums and no one speaks common english.
I'm going to assume we're talking about the diminishing returns on avoidance stats. This applies to defense rating, dodge rating, and parry rating - all on separate diminishing returns (they don't affect each other).
As you pile on more and more of a particular avoidance stat, the value you gain for each further point of the stat diminishes.
To choose some completely arbitrary numbers, lets assume that without diminishing returns, 20 points of dodge gave you 1 percent dodge. Points 1-20 = 1%. Points 21-40 might only give .95%, while 41-60 might only give .90% and so on.
The exact formula is still being figured out, but indications are that you should stack defense and dodge in equal amounts while largely avoiding parry for maximum pure avoidance.
-How should I build my dodge/parry/block %'s.. what more important then the other
There is no single answer here. Block rating is important when you're going for a block capped set (meaning that all physical attacks are reduced by your block value), while dodge/defense are more important as you gear up.
-540 is uncrit. but im hearing from ppl that paladins is 545?
They're wrong. 535 for heroics, 540 for raids.
-How does the aoe melee attack work? is it the damage per sec on the wep itself or the dmg itself ex. wep does 340-440 damage n 116dps
Hammer of the Righteous? 4 x weapon dps
- Is vengance seal still the way to go? or is it good now to get seal of command or use maytry?
Thank you. :)
Vengeance remains the best tanking seal by a good margin.
