Paladin Tanking Guide for Mists of Pandaria

Mists of Pandaria: Guide to protection paladins … Active mitigation, as well, will require prot paladins to adjust to a new style of tanking. Gear for a Tanking Paladin is pretty easy in theory, but turns into a constant juggling act of micro-management in reality. Paladin Tanking Guide for Mists of Pandaria In theory you want to stack avoidance to the point where you can not suffer a normal hit,Wow Gold 90, have enough stamina to survive any hit, and enough threat causing ability to hold the boss on you instead of on your DPS.  Actually, that doesn’t look so simple does it?

Because of the complexities of managing gear, many tanks suffer from something I call Stamina Stacking. Many tanks simply do not understand the importance of all the stats and therefore focus strictly on their health pool by stacking stamina. Worse yet, many DPS and Healers that don’t understand mitigation just look at a tank’s health pool to determine if they are geared enough for an instance or raid.

Effective Health

Obviously the more health you can have as a tank the better, and this is what too many players focus on.  What a smart tank or player will focus on is your effective health. Your effective health is how much damage you can take over time which is far more important that looking at simply how big of a simple hit you can take,wow patch 4.3 gold, well it’s more important once you can take the biggest hit you need to be able to take.

Let’s look at two simplified examples, the first a tank with 300,000 health but no avoidance and a second tank with 150,000 health and 20% dodge and parry and 30% block. We will then have them fight a boss that hits for 50,000 damage every 3 seconds after armour reduction, or 20 times in a minute.

The first tank will take 1,000,000 damage over that 1 minute fight because he will get hit by every attack. The second tank will parry 4 and dodge 4, taking 400,000 less damage, and then block 6 more attacks stopping 40% of the damage from  each, or another 120,000 damage. This means that the second tank only needs to be healed for 480,000 health over the minute fight, instead of 1,000,000.  Ask a healer which tank they would rather heal and I think you can guess the answer.

Mists of Pandaria, for example, will do away with the talent system of Cataclysm. While in real life the stat difference may not be as drastic, healers can very easily tell even a 5% difference between characters and will start questioning why a stamina tank is so hard to heal compared to an avoidance tank.
So instead of just focusing on your total health let’s look at all the stats that matter to Paladin tanks.
