Hiho,
ok ive got a question to you pallytanks.
Ive jumped into tanking for about 2 weeks now and im in ok equipment (346s almost all of them with mastery and all of the reputation epics from the cata factions) and thats exactly what i want to ask. At the moment im using Belt of the Ferocious Wolf and i have been flamed for that by a heal. The crit is reforged to dodge (or parry if my gear changes and dodge occurs to be the higher stat). I would sure be able to buy Girdle of the Mountains.
If i use the epic one i get the following gains in comparison to the justice points belt.
43 Sta
8 Str
169 Mastery (3.68)
72 Armor
149 Crit (3.25%) -> 90 crit/59 Dodge or Parry
But i obviously lose
150 (91) Parry and 110 (51) Dodge Rating (one of them is made up with the mastery easily)
Seeing as mastery is the best stat for paladins i dont see the problem here. In the end the only thing im losing is the itemisation points for 90 crit rating (useless for a tank most of the time). But i gain my most desired stat and stamina some strength and a minor armor upgrade in exchange for that.
So tell me should i really use the justice points one or am i ok with it and just ignore the healer or was he right for flaming me about this?
