Edit: June 17th, 2008: What the fuck happened to the formatting? Fixed. …because guild applicants and guild officers don’t always see eye-to-eye in terms of membership application and evaluation procedures. Raiding guilds take themselves very seriously, perhaps too much so in many cases. If you don't like that, you don't have to apply. 1. Follow … Read more
Protection Overall threat buff from the talent changes and an increase in damage mitigation in the sense that Holy Shield won’t proc off as easily with 8 charges instead of 4. Nerf to tanking duration. Talents aside, what about reitemizing our gear? WTB more stamina, damage mitigation, and spell damage…NOT int and mana/5. Threat buffs … Read more

I don’t know the threat generation for warriors, but they have plenty of threat guides that list approximated values (I … Read more
Edit 11/7/07: This page is a little old and confusing. Updating it with the 2.3 changes and what not at some point. Assumed Information When I say defense by the way, I am talking about defense skill not defense rating. The same goes for block (block value increases the amount you block, block rating increases … Read more
A list of gear goals that I am currently working on for self future reference. Might also be useful if there are any prot paladins reading as well. Because of our itemization, it's hardest to achieve the health and avoidance goal…that is what I am having trouble with now. Unfortunately, much of the current paladin … Read more
