Paladin Tank Guide
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007
I’m trying to learn how to tank on my protection paladin. Mostly I just play her for the AOE grinding, but it would be useful to know how to tank as well.
New Paladin Tank Guide - TankSpot
The Pull:
1. Activate Seal of Righteousness
2. Activate Holy Shield
3. Activate Avenging Wrath (if available)
4. Cast Avenger’s Shield
5. Run in/position mobs
6. Drop Consecrate
7. Reactivate Holy Shield if necessary
8. Judge Righteousness
9. Start your spell rotation, i.e. repeat steps 6 through 8.
Note: Since I am currently specc’d into Improved SotC, I generally like to Judge with Crusader during my second spell rotation to keep my TPS up.
Also, in certain cases it may not be prudent to pull with Avenger’s Shield, such as the Fathom Lord Karathress fight and most trash in SSC/TK, because you don’t WANT all the mobs beating on you at the same time. In these cases, you will be sharing tank duties with a few other tanks, and them not being able to pull their targets off you to tank them is a BAD thing… shadow-nova’ing Sea Witches in SSC for instance. >.< In these cases, the pull should go as such:
1. Activate Seal of Righteousness
2. Activate Holy Shield
3. Activate Avenging Wrath (if available)
4. Run in
5. Cast Judgment of Righteousness/Reactivate Seal of Righteousness
6. Position mob
7. Drop Consecrate
8. Reactivate Holy Shield if necessary
9. Start your spell rotation, i.e. repeat steps 5, 7, and 8.
