Prot Paladin BiS Gear Pre-Naxx

#1 » Post by cts17 » 23 Mar 2017 19:36

Hello all,

Here's a fun little list I put together that shows what your BiS could be should you desire to tank as a Paladin before Naxx. It's worth noting that you lack the ability to properly tank Naxx like a Warrior, since you cannot output enough threat with the current spells available. This is just what I personally am working towards ^_^

Head: Helm of Domination (+ZG)

Neck: Mark of C'Thun

Shoulder: Pauldrons of the Unrelenting (+30 AP)

Back: Sandstorm Cloak (+12 Dodge)

Chest: Avenger's Breastplate (+4 Stats)

Wrist: Icebane Bracers (+5 Defense)

Hands: Gauntlets of Steadfast Determination (+2% Threat)

Waist: Royal Qiraji Belt

Legs: Bloodsoaked Legplates (+ZG)

Feet: Boots of the Unwaverwing Will (+5 Defense)

Ring 1: Ring of Emperor Vek'lor

Ring 2: Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight

Trinket 1: Styleen's Impeding Scarab

Trinket 2: Onyxia Blood Talisman

Weapon: Blessed Qiraji War Hammer(+Crusader)

Shield: Blessed Qiraji Bulwark (+10 Block)

Raid-buffed, as a Dwarf Paladin, this will give you the following stats:

12103 Armor (67.29% Reduction)

440 Defense

103.57% Avoidance (50.00% Block (342 BV), 21.63% Dodge, 18.52%Parry)

8711 HP

An alternative build forgoes Onyxia Blood Talisman in favour of the PvP trinket, which gives the equivalence of ~30 Defense Rating for avoiding Crit. Since the Talisman gives 12, you can remove up to 18 Defense rating from your other items in favour of an item that does more damage, like Thunderfury, or Judgment Bracers. You don't really need the extra avoidance anyway.

I'm a main tank for Sanctuary, although all I really tank is ZG, AQ20, Ony, MC, and off-tank in BWL and AQ40.
