Just wanted to quickly ask how you guys feel active mitigation ended up working out for prot pallies.
I recently started tanking on my warrior alt and find myself jealous of the fact that i can see quite plainly the benefit of when i play well and when i dont. The paladin feels very "automatic" in comparison, outside of managing cooldowns (which all tanks have to deal with) it feels like there isn't much choice in my play. The lack of things to use holy power on and fact that bastion of glory is basically now eaten by maintaining eternal flame means i rarely consume it on anything but SotR.
Just curious how everyone feels, do paladins have less control over their damage taken than the other tanks? Is it just a more passive style? Do you feel it's dull? Or have I finally after all these years actually found a class i just prefer over the paladin!
