Cata & Spell Pen?

[Arthur]

Is this somthing that is/will be, viable in cata? Does it work as stated in the tool tip? Or should we ignore it?

It's a pvp stat to counter Shadow Protection buff (priests) and Paladin/Shaman auras. You need 460 to be high-end pvp viable.

This was so wrong, that I felt the need to make an account and reply. The most any class needs is 195, buffs don't stack, kings resist and wild resist do NOT stack, same goes for shadow protection, it will give you 195 and stay that way, it does NOT stack. The buff that gives the most resist is the one that will apply, the resist of the other buffs is negated.

Resistance Aura
Increases Fire, Frost and Shadow resistance by 460.

This is where I got my information, can you point me to the correct numbers?

[Metaslave]

Resistance effects and values @ 85:
Mage Armor: 45 (confirm?)
Mark of the Wild (Druid): 136
Blessing of Kings (Paladin): 136
Elemental Resist Totem (does not affect shadow) (Shaman): 195
Shadow Protection (Priest): 195
Resistance Aura (Paladin): 195

So aim for near 240 to cover mages with shadow prot. The rest don't stack.

Wowhead's tooltip is wrong, half way down the page there's a comment with the correct values by Telemancer.
