Hi mates,
I have a friend who is playing a Protection Paladin, but honestly I don't think he knows 100% what to choose for stats, talents etc., but I am willing to try to understand it and help him become a better tank with the help from you. Hopefully, it'll give me a better image of how tanks work, so I bet it's beneficial for me aswell. I've never had interest for melee roles, so I never digged into stats etc. for them.
The way I understand it is that there's 2 different stat options: "damage stats" and "tank stats". Damage stats are hit and strength and tank stats are stamina, mastery, dodge and parry. It makes sense to reach hit rating cap to make abilities hit for more, but how do you know which tank stats to go for? You have the option between 4 and they all seem to serve the same purpose, make you a better tank. Can you please explain the difference between them and what a Protection Paladin would want to stack (gems, enchants, gear)?
Which seals should be used as a Protection Paladin? My mate always uses Seal of Truth, but I think he can maintain his threat without it, so do you think Insight would be a better choice or is it completely shit? Infos. Tell me when the one is better than the other.
He actually asked me if I could help him with his talents too, since he isn't sure about if they were chosen in their right ways. Perhaos you could take a look there too?
I appreciate any comment/help!
