Questions from a Protection Paladin

[jakobboegsted]

Hello Champions

My Story:
I am a Protection Paladin called Goraxzenat, who plays on Ravencrest-EU(http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...axzenat/simple).
A few weeks after the release of Cataclysm i stopped playing WoW, now im back on track and trying to tank the Heroics, eventually raids.
Im having trouble finding the optimal rotation, gems and enchants etc.
If you would be kind to post answer to my questions or link other threads and/or guides it would be much apreciated.

Questions:
1. What glyphs do i need?
2. What enchants do i need?
3. What specc should i be using?
4. What is the optimal rotation?
5. What gems should i be getting?
6. What are your look on the stats?(Parry vs. Mastery etc.)
7. How much ilvl do i need to start raiding BH?
8. How much do ilvl do i need to the next raid?(What's the easiest raid after BH?)
Yes i know, i'm kind of requesting a full guide on playing tankadin 4.1.0. If such a guide exist DO NOT hesitate to throw a link in the comments!

Thank you for taking time to read my thread.

Regards,
Goraxzenat.

Basically what the guy above me said. I could post the answers to all your questions in the same format you posted them, but honestly it would be better for you to click the second link he posted and read all the information there for yourself.

Not sure why people keep posting links to EJ for prot stuff. Maintankadin has always been a far far better source for prot information than EJ.

EJ is out-dated and not as loved by prot paladins as perhaps other threads are.
Maintankadin is pretty respectable.

And that is why people ask questions on forums instead of google. Google sometimes brings you to completely outdated and useless stuff.


OT:

Never ever, EVER, go to elitistjerks for protection paladin advice. They are often completely wrong.

Apologies, but I'm also thankful that you're ripping me and not the guy who didn't search said forums. Thank you for the civil replies.

Ill give ya a quick run thru.

Do not stack stam....

Reforge......... Helm - exp = mastery, Neck - exp = mastery, wrists - exp = mastery, leggs - hit = mastery,.

Gems... Mastery or hybrids w/ mastery

Enchants!!!!!!!!

Take the talents out of Holy and place them into Hallowed ground, this is nice for H's. Later if you feel like you need more threat, take Guarded by the light out and place it in Rule of Law.

try to lvl ur dodge/parry out, but the rest is much more important. Heart of thunder sux, but you will replace.

1-3: See my armory.
(Glyphs): Single Target - Prime - SoTR / Judgement / Seal of Truth. Major AS (1 target). < Only required for single target. Others' are your choice.
AoE: Prime - Hammer of Righeous / WoG / Truth. Major - Consecration, Again the other two are your choice.
4: DP > AW > AS > Judgement (insuring you have Sacred Duty) > SoTR > CSx3 > (AS/Judgement fillers) > SoTR/ WoG repeat.
5: Well, Puissant I believe is the best gem overall for Prot Paladins' in this tier. Meta you have options for certain fights.
6: Mastery > Dodge > Parry > Hit > Expertise. Plain and simple, NEVER reforge out of Mastery. (I go for 4% hit to make life a little bit easier at this point) - (Expertise comes naturally through the glyph/gear)
7: BH is a joke. 329ilvl+ will suffice. (Pending if you have healers with brains)
8: Well there isn't a "easy raid" per say, however. After BH, look at Normal Magmaw/Omnotron/Halfus/V&T. Easiest 4.


hope that helped,
Inclusion.
