There's not a lot of good spellpower weapons at this stage of the game to really make it worth it. I really do recommend fast weapons though. See if you can pick up a Hanzo Sword for cheap as those are 1.5 speed as well, although it dont have the additional attack proc of Flurry. However it is a sword, so if you play Human it allows you to take advantage of your weapon skill racial for a little extra hit chance. Other noteworthy options would be Fist of the Damned from Sunken Temple and Wraith Scythe from BRD as those both scale with Spellpower on their proc if you happen to have Spellpower on other piece of gear. Mirah's Song is also a pretty decent option with it's well rounded stats and 40 DPS.

that's I do, except in scholo/ strat where I can use exorcism most of the time

Some day perhaps hehe

@@Avoidling Thank you, I will wait. ;)

Good job on the video! Hard to find any videos like this for us pala tank addicts ^ There is a list on the wowhead classic guide of prot pala that shows which bosses can be off tanked (a bit rare for prot pala to main tank in vanilla). A video that shows any type of tanking in a raid would be very interesting!

Same, it’s a better weapon.

I am actually making a video on builds right now. I will briefly talk about the 20/31 build in this video as thats the build I am currently running.

Ok thats a surprise to me, I was pretty sure that you had the remaining points after consecration in ret. for additional mitigation or faster judgements. While missing Divine Favour hurts it still allows you to heal reliably in current content. After the first few pug runs throuh MC and Ony I'm fairly happy to see that Holy Shock still is a utter waste in all but high mobility encounters/PvP and Holy Power, while nice is not strictly required to function.

U can go 31/20/0 with defense gear, like full deathbone set. Holy shock Df is really nice for snap threat. Thats what i do

Hey. I was enchanting and engineering for classic. Engineering is kinda Mandatory for Prot in PvE since we're constantly at a disadvantage and need to push the limit of what we can do. Sappers/Dynamites offers burst threat, Engineering Shield is fantastic as well as other benefits. For TBC Im not sure. Looks like I'll be playing Ret right now but for Prot the spellpower enchant on rings is really good, and engineering is still quite beneficial with super sappers etc. But it's not as much of a must have profession as in Classic so if you play more casuall you can pretty much do any profession you like and still do well.

The AddOn you are thinking of is called ThreatPlates

Nah, nobody is pulling aggro from warrior who rage pots

@@rudy1999 "nobody"

I wouldnt say just as fine, because Northern Wind like your example is much slower (2.1 speed) and the procrate is also really quite bad on it.

@@Avoidling northern wind has better proc% than flurry axe

but it's true that faster is better as a general rule.

not to meantion not going sword/mace is a fools arrand bc of the mastery racial.

it is not actually. Warrior and druid taunts sets your threat the same as top threat holder at the moment when you use it. BoP only hides threat of the player you apply it to. So if that player with BoP continues to make threat - it will get aggro right after BoP ends. Only upside is that BoP can't be resisted.

BoP is also less able to be spammed. 3mins is a long cd

Without going into too much detail, yes I think so. People have done this already on Private servers so I dont see why it should not be doable in Classic either. My goal is certainly to try.

@@Avoidling I hope you will document your journey :)!

@@Avoidling please make a guide for each raid if possible. I want to prove that paladin prot isn't a meme.

@@Avoidling big thumbs up subscribed to your channel

nvm wrote this before watching whole vid

do you use max rank holy shield when 'keeping it up'? I noticed the block effect doesn't change with ranks

@@dreamismelul If I have a solid thread lead already I just use Rank 1 Holy Shield for the block chance alone. Rank 2 and Rank 2 only provide you with additional threat.

Yes, this is what makes Paladins viable raid tanks in Classic. Greater Kings cause 114 threat per player buffed with Improved Righteous Fury active.

Sit stand is not really viable in dungeons. Too unreliable to pull off when tanking lots of mobs, so you end up just getting crit without getting Redoubt.

@@Avoidling depends on your skill at it. In my experience its even easier with many mobs. First of all you basically aiming to /sit and strafe with your curent target because you have swing timer for it. Secondary if there are alot of them you can just randomly and quickly /sit strafe at any moment and you would get proc 90% of the time. ANd if you have alot of defense - you almost never get critted without sitting.

instance mobs crit 5%, bosses 8%. 4% is bad vs boss.

Hand of Reckoning is the TBC spell. My videos are for World of Warcraft Classic although I appreciate the feedback

Then (depending on the pala tank) you'd be missing out. I'm currently running BRD and LBRS and mobs stick to me like glue. Most times the guy in the video loses aggro he's either 1. Not judging righteousness (which I would always lead with) 2. Having a concecration up. (Not critisising, Im sure he has his reasons). I'd argue that Prot Paladins are THE BEST dungeon tanks, especially when paired with mages. Protpallies unlike warriors and druids, can kite tank and when you get the hang of it you can basically do spellcleave runs that include clearing all bosses. It's insane really.

@@danielhaden6674 I will never go with a pallatank again, they are byond bad. I was a warriortank back in the days up to Naxx and know all about tanking in classic. Druids are the best dungeontanks by far and close behind is warriors. In raids warriortanks are the only way to go if you are a winner. Pallys heal and buff and they are good at that. But i am more competitive and want strong focused play when im online.

@@MrWallinor I'm not talking raids here, obviously Paladins are the worst option there. But in dungeons when you combine prot paladins with aoe slow mages there's no discussion, THEY ARE THE BEST DUNGEON TANKS! By far. I've gone through pulls of 15+ mobs where after the fight the healer still has half his mana. Who needs damage mitigation when you're not taking much damage to begin with. If you're all about being "competitive" then you should be all about dungeon prot pallies, simple as that.

@@danielhaden6674 They are crap, simple as that. You heal and you buff as pally and thats it. You go druid in dungeons and warrior in raids. Everyone knows this.. Why pick something that is way worse?? Everybody needs to hold back to not overaggro..meaning slow speed and healer leaving before you even pull next grp. Whatever floats you boat haha

@@MrWallinor Jesus dude... okay I'll give you a statement: "The goal of minmaxing a dungeon is to clear it as fast as possible, with as little deaths as possible (preferably none)" Do you agree? Okay then. Tell me one other tank class that can pull and kite 15+ mobs while leaving the healer with 50% mana left after pull. None, the answer is NONE. Prot pala is the only class that can reliably kite tank (without tons of potions, oils and other gamey shit). If you don't believe me, come Gehennas and I'll personally show you.
