"General: Possibly the most in depth aspect of a paladin. It is affected by virtually every aspect of the game. His gear, talents, play style, etc. are all affected by the people around him. He is among the best AOE tanks in the game, as well as being extremely difficult to kill in pvp. Threat: A paladin’s primary source of threat is holy damage. His white damage will generate some threat, but given buffs like Righteous Fury (holy threat increased by 60%) and Holy Shield (holy damage with increased threat), his holy damage will account for the vast majority of his threat. Always remember that everything you do causes threat. Damage, healing, buffing, and any other ability causes threat. Threat is calculated per point of damage or healing, or small static amounts from buffing. It is 1 point of threat per damage dealt before threat modifiers and .5 points of threat per point of healing done. Threat will continue to be discussed throughout this section as applicable. Tanking: Any paladin can tank, but a protection paladin chooses to specialize in this area, to the extent that he can be extremely effective, and in some situations, more effective than either a warrior or druid. However, one must realize that a protection paladin must be given time to build threat, just like a warrior or druid must. A paladin does take less time to create the necessary threat though, because he starts a fight with a full mana pool. He is able to “pre-load” a hefty amount of threat relatively quickly. wow gold paypal One major difference is that a paladin does not have any visible signs that threat is being produced. A warrior has Sunder Armor, and many people use this as a “guide” to decide when they can begin DPS. A paladin has nothing of this sort.

gold in wow The biggest key to allowing a paladin to tank is allowing time to build threat without any visual way to gauge his threat, assuming you are not using a mod like KTM threat meter. If the raid/group is using such a mod, simply determine that DPS should not begin until a certain number is reached. Some paladins like to use Seal of Vengeance (SoV; sov) as a type of “pally sunder” seal, so that DPS knows not to attack until there are 5 stacks of Holy Vengeance on the target. wow power leveling There is still much debate on whether SoV is better then SoR for tanking. I mentioned earlier that a paladin is among the best AOE (Area of Effect) tanks in the game. I will explain this now. Virtually every ability that a paladin uses to generate aggro is either an active or passive AOE ability. cheap world of warcraft gold Consecrate does damage to every enemy in an area per second for 8 seconds. Each tick generates additional hate from those enemies. Retribution Aura causes holy damage to any enemy that strikes the paladin with a melee attack. wow europe This damage also causes additional threat. Holy Shield increases block rating by a significant amount, and causes holy damage for every block after being cast, up to 4 blocks.
