Lore did a very good 40 second rotation assuming that you must at all times keep up holy shield and that you should put down a consecrate whenever you can; the end result was that with 0 lag, you will lose 4 seconds of SoR while gaining one extra judgment. The cycle is extended for improved judgment with 1 point, where you'll lose only 2 seconds in a 45-second period of time while gaining one judgment; this is why I say that 1 point in imp judgment is better than 2 points on a per-talent point threat scale.

In raid most likely have other healadin to do that job for you. Also does spell warding really need for PVE? Most boss hit with physical damage anyway. And fight like elemental in illidan P2, You will use resist gear for sure. 4% of spell reduction won't bring you to anywhere. <BR/><BR/>More discuss you can check out tankadin forum.<BR/>http://www.failsafedesign.com/maintankadin/index.php?sid=2b5451e61e99110939fce8adbbbb3445<BR/><BR/>Personally I prefer this build.<BR/>http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZVhxIx0zrgqtV0x0h<BR/><BR/>As people said already. Improved judgement won't line up well with holy shield. As when holy shield and judgement CD both finish at same time you will want active holy shield first. Even though judgement won't affect GCD. But seal will cost 1.5 sec GCD. That means you will either active holy shield first and lose 1 swing without seal or leave 1.5 sec gap without holy shield to get some crush from boss.Nnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326108601569671367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-25410998939667931212008-04-30T07:48:00.000-07:002008-04-30T07:48:00.000-07:00I've been using a 46/15 build with 2/3 Precision. ...I've been using a 46/15 build with 2/3 Precision. I really like Pursuit of Justice - the spell miss also affects binary spells (albeit not much) whereas spell warding only affects damage spells.<BR/><BR/>But the speed increase is just so very nice. Its such a universally useful ability, being able to position faster reduces a lot of initial damage when engaging an enemy.<BR/><BR/>However every time my shield throw misses I see that vast empty space in my talent tree where that last point in Precision should be though. :(Chirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797979602228864195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-6561719173136296702008-04-29T16:38:00.000-07:002008-04-29T16:38:00.000-07:00Oh, on the actual article:each point of anticipati...Oh, on the actual article:<BR/><BR/>each point of anticipation is .8% avoidance against physical attacks in addition to more block rating (useful for being uncrushable) and -crit (useful for being uncrittable.

I'd rather have reckoning if threat is an issue, or spell warding for mitigation. <BR/><BR/>PoJ isn't bad, it's just not reliable enough to count for much. 3% spell avoidance might save you some random time, but it's some random time and it won't help your healers regularly enough to matter. The run speed is only 7% above what boar's speed gives. <BR/><BR/>It's good; it's just not good enough relative to other talents that prot paladins have access to.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-78286860995683957872008-04-29T13:41:00.000-07:002008-04-29T13:41:00.000-07:00Being the paladin in question, I want to say that ...Being the paladin in question, I want to say that I was working with my first prot build which had a lot of other issues beyond PoJ. I had 4 points in reconing, 2 of which I wanted to move to spell warding and the other 2 I didn't know where to put.<BR/><BR/>The build I came up with is the same one that vlob posted:<BR/>http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZVhtIx0dMgqtV0x0b<BR/><BR/>I haven't yet gotten to go back to HMgT, but from the other heroics I've done since I have to say I haven't seen any real change in my overall spell resist percentage. The movement speed increase has been a noticeable benefit though, especially when LOS pulling or running something down on the rare times I have to do it. Spell warding was worth the points, and seems especially useful immediately after a pull were I have multiple casters hitting me simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>I have considered moving the 2 points from PoJ into Imp. Judgement for increased aggro on bosses/singles and getting boar's speed instead. I don't really have problems holding aggro yet, but have had high-dps people come close. I think the extra threat padding and lower judgment cooldown (for those have-to-hit-it-now situations when RD is down) might be more beneficial in the long run.<BR/><BR/>Decisions, decisions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076849063315322363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-57570967003336510292008-04-28T11:26:00.000-07:002008-04-28T11:26:00.000-07:00Personally, I believe 49/12 is the best build for ...Personally, I believe 49/12 is the best build for Tankadins. Full Anticipation, 1h Weapon Spec, Precision, Spell Warding...no Reckoning, no Pursuit of Justice.<BR/><BR/>I agree with what others have said about the spell resist component of PoJ being unreliable, and definitely less relevant to us than, say, Dodge. <BR/><BR/>I do like to run a bit faster, so I enchant Boar's Speed on my boots, at a cost of 3 STA. 3 STA is a far, far cheaper price than say 3% Hit + 3% Spell Hit (actual percentages, not just ratings).<BR/><BR/>As for Heroic MrT, yeah, all the spell damage in there stinks. I run it in my Max Health gear with Crest of the Sha'tar instead of Impenetrable Darkness, double Stamina trinkets, etc.<BR/><BR/>Fedaykin98Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-67531954528782468972008-04-28T08:22:00.000-07:002008-04-28T08:22:00.000-07:00Avoidance against spells isn't particularly useful...Avoidance against spells isn't particularly useful for a PvE tank. Unlike physical attacks, spells only come infrequently, so you're not worried about trying to stop one of the five hits in the span of 2 seconds that would render your tank unhealable.<BR/><BR/>In fact, as a tank, you probably want to suck down that damage rather avoiding it. It's unlikely to be of much danger (most spell attacks will also apply to your raid, and if your Mages/Priests can take that damage, your tank most certainly can), and getting healing for that damage restores mana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-89128447031992678682008-04-27T21:16:00.000-07:002008-04-27T21:16:00.000-07:00Personally, I dropped the two points in Improved J...Personally, I dropped the two points in Improved Judgment, because I found that 8-second judgements don't line up well with 10-second Holy Shield refresh cycles, and I'd cast Judgement/re-seal and be in the global cooldown when Holy Shield came around.

Just like any boss encounter with binary resist spells, the healers not being prepared for you to take 4-5K damage (or not take) can cause problems.<BR/><BR/>Often, the +stam/+physical mitigation talents (or spell warding) you give up make better choices for raids.<BR/><BR/>When my prot pally was mainly doing Kara/Heroics, I just got the Boar's Speed enchant on my boots and stuck with the my fairly 'standard' Prot/Ret MT build (0/49/12). (before Kara I had reckoning fro heroics, but dropped it when I went for the MT role)<BR/><BR/>However, if the focus is magister's terrace (a 5 man I have 0 experience tanking) then completely avoiding some of the smaller trash/mini boss spells could be nice. I hear MrT can be a bit of a pain for Prot pallys, alas, I may never know.Vaelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750403991107369274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-57357102813395429902008-04-27T02:03:00.000-07:002008-04-27T02:03:00.000-07:00kaziel not a bad buildi like one handed spec becua...kaziel not a bad build<BR/><BR/>i like one handed spec becuaseas long as i have my sword in my hand all my damage is incresed by 10%, thats apooxiomatly 10DPS just on consection at about 200ish SP which is about 20 TPS.<BR/><BR/>the vindication is a nice bonus, its like SoB, ohh i might have to try tanking with both that could be some searious mana regen with SoW.<BR/><BR/>i am curenntly using the below build <BR/>http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZVhtIx0dMgqtV0x0b<BR/><BR/>though if u arent going to be as much aoe u could always think about taking devoution aura instead of redout which frees three more points since no longer got shield spec.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-72852784315802845812008-04-26T21:05:00.000-07:002008-04-26T21:05:00.000-07:00First off, Light of the Sun, Precision is an absol...First off, Light of the Sun, Precision is an absolutely vital talent. Avenger's Shield and Righteous Defense both rely on physical hit. While spell hit isn't as vital, it's also useful. I would rate Precision as one of the more important talents we can get. A resisted Righteous Defense can cause wipes.<BR/><BR/>As for Pursuit of Justice, I generally find it's a useful talent, as long as your not having issues with threat generation. Both the increased movement speed and the decreased chance to be hit with spells are handy. The movement speed part is very nice because it allows you to make LOS pulls more easily.<BR/><BR/>In the end, it's value is dependent, primarily, on if you're having trouble surviving. If not, then there are better investments.<BR/><BR/>Also, for a while I've been using it, and I've done this build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZVhtIx0dMMqtVct0h<BR/><BR/>(I have 1/3 in Vindication because if it procs, even if the target is immune it can make JoW or JoL proc)Kazielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283511341760188489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-34968313309011874612008-04-26T17:24:00.000-07:002008-04-26T17:24:00.000-07:00well is precision really necessary for a prot pala...well is precision really necessary for a prot paladin? i mean we dont need the hit rating or the spell hit.<BR/>i was thinking about dropping it and getting pursuit myself. or taking 3 points out of toughnessLight Of The Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464345269176602940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-29981889709524316352008-04-26T11:42:00.000-07:002008-04-26T11:42:00.000-07:00Yeah, I already stole those points for Spell Wardi...Yeah, I already stole those points for Spell WardingRohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-44404707417042091992008-04-26T11:30:00.000-07:002008-04-26T11:30:00.000-07:00The build linked doesn't include any points in Gua...The build linked doesn't include any points in Guardian's Favor, so you can't take any points out of it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686003365231673576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-23268585803741069482008-04-26T07:15:00.000-07:002008-04-26T07:15:00.000-07:00or you could take the points from the 2 minute les...or you could take the points from the 2 minute less cooldown from Blessing of protection.
