Pally tanks BOS or BOK in 3.2

[thepitjr]

Please comment I would like to know what you think about the changes to BOS and how is going to change with useing BOK .

by what i can see so far the 10% stam to BOS is not going to change my mind to switch to it. (unless there is more than 1 pally in grp to provide for both)

[Draco cracona]

3% damage reduction+10% sta is better than 10% all stats, hands down.

[Craigadiddle]

Of course you will use Sanctuary

3% damage on the tank is a little bit of damage, but then the 10% stam is a decent buff. Do you rly use Kings for anything other than HP or Mana Pool...?

[zwoopaman]

BoS cause else I go oom afther a while

[thepitjr]

the one major reason i dont use BOS in 3.1 (as MT) i get the mana i need and more from Spiritual Attunement, even with OT trash i get it.

so why use BOS when the mana is not needed ... I know -3% dmg but how much of that is made up in BOK?

[Lumidar]

BoSanc has been, and always will be, the only solo paladin blessing to use on yourself.

What purpose is there to using Kings over Sanctuary? We don't have enough Agility to make the difference in armor or avoidance noticeable, and the boost to our Strength is unnecessary as our threat is already the highest of the tanks.

Tell me what makes Kings superior to Sanctuary? Seriously, I want to understand your thinking on this, because as far as I can tell you're just trying to be 'unique', which in Warcraft, is often just synonymous with 'sub-optimal'.

BoS > BoK

Always.

Mates, Blizzard give you that for you to put on your Tanks, not on yourselfs, if you specced protection and still have raid spot its the least you can do, because in that tree you heal badlly and your dps is a misery, so help your tanks, buff them with that, not only reduces the damage taken but also allows a better rage generation, build high aggro with T8.5 is a big challenge warriors can avoid alot of damage causing less rage output, so dont be selfish if you want t obe dragged and get gear buff up your tanks with one of the best buffs in game, they are of no use on yourselfs.

cheers and good loots.

Hello.

Lich King called, wanted to let you know Paladins are main tanks now. Oh, and 3.2 was laughing somewhere in the background about how clueless you are.

So uh...how does taking less damage and having more health give you better rage generation? Oh, unless you're talking about the change made, you know, a few months back that makes BoSanc only generate resource for paladin tanks...

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.

Mr. OP
The results of your poll should make you feel better. You can take solace knowing that you aren't the only idiot out there not using BoS. There are at least two more prot pallys that play this game that know nothing about their class and whats good for them.

[Biznick]

btw, why would you ever choose to use Kings over BoS?

[Copain]

Back in BC, it wasn't as useful, most used Kings because of it's boost rather than Sanc. Ever since the overhaul on Pally tanks however, BoS is years better, even more so with the buff that's goign into it next patch.

[Offhand]

It was rarely worth making this case beforehand. Now with the changes, BoS is always the first choice for a blessing.

I VOTED KINGS!
