How to gear a Pally Tank ...

[elsegundo]

if a mob runs, it means he's dying. use hammer of wrath.

That depends. Since you are multiboxing, there are a number of ways to deal with a runner. Personally, I just let the warlock/priest DoTs finish it off. If that doesn't do it, then the incoming Shadowbolt/Fireball/Mindblast combo should do the trick.

PS- thanks to all who have contributed info and links. I'm just starting to quest in Northrend with an eye towards instances (both Outland and Northrend) and this will help immensely.

but of course.
thats if he's dotted up.
but if he's not, then three, or four of any spell from slaves would be overkill.
or he could just wait til the mob comes to realize, wtf why am i running? let me run back and die. then finish him off.

but i do find it very annoying to have a runner with 10% health, running away... and having my dps all attack, each doing well over 10% of the necessary damage. but hey... its only mana. maybe if i have a key just for runners... on round robin. that would rock. or yes, as you say, have a priest or warlock on the team.

I second this post. This website has the best information I have found on pally tanking. Many threads on what gear to choose.
