Wild Troll back n kicking.
Hello,
TBC, WotLK didnt brought anything for "prot palas" (still laugh on this) go take a look at the best PvE 50 guilds form EU and from US and find me a OT prot pala (not a prot pala doing Naxx alts runs or being dragged along thru Ulduar with the big boys), if they take prot palas for raids its for trash tanking (DKs start to remove palas from that task but not many thing alike to do in Ulduar, to bad) and for the buffs, dual specc start to let pala prots to be more happy.
Protection tree its the best PvP tree for palas, always have been.
Now more seriouslly, i'm not trolling, i love the prot palas of my guild, they do the never end heroics and go to naxx and recent old stuff and our alts go with them to gear and stress of the main raids, after killing Algalon not much to do, for now.
Footnote: we tried to take prot palas to progression raids, and even in par in gear with our tanks, they where a failure if no trash around to tank, sorry
, we stick to the good old formula, and we doing just fine, we have and always had a tank real tanking class, all other are fail gimmick attempts of the first and only.
Footnote2:And if BoS dosent rise the rage generation no more, well ... good for palas that bought DualSpecc, or no big raids for them.
cheers.
