    Question about 21 Oct hotfix


    Protection Paladins are now eligible to receive plate armor with Haste via person loot (Raid Finder and Flexible difficulty) and bonus rolls (all difficulty modes) from Siege of Orgrimmar and Ordos.
    Does this mean that we dont have to change loot spec to retri?
    Or is it just certain items with haste that doesnt have crit on them that we can get in Protection now also?

    Certain items with haste (and no crit) are available in prot spec now. For players who understand what gear drops where and how to max their chances to get what they want, this is probably a nerf. For everyone else it is a buff. It means for those bosses you rolled tank on (shields basically) there is probably now haste gear added in to the prot gear and it inflates the loot table for prot.

    That's what I thought. Been alot extra work with optimizing your gear chance when switching between retri/prot loot all the time.
