Hi all,
I currently main spec PvE as a ret paladin, with my OS being just another ret PvP spec. However, with the current changes, and nerfs if you will, upcoming to WoG and such, I feel its time to scrap my PvP spec and bust out my prot set I've been collecting for some time now, but just never socketed or enchanted it.
That being said, I was wondering if I could get a very brief rundown on stat priorities and socketing methods for a prot pally. I'm sure there are many threads on this exact topic, but I'd rather get some updated information (or links) that anyone would be able to provide.
I'm good with basic rotation and such (I think), I'm just more concerned with what I should be socketing for (including bonuses) and my priority stats as I have not tanked since pre-Cata. I remember socketing +30 stamina was the way to go, but I'm pretty sure that's not the way to go anymore with the implementation of mastery and certain talent changes. Then it comes down to which evasive stat I should be more concerned with (dodge/parry/block) and what I should look for when choosing between two pieces of similar gear.
Any basic information that I can gather would be highly appreciated. I will just be starting out with heroics, so crazy in depth tank discussion is not necessary - but if your into it, by all means....
Thanks.
