Pimp my Pally

[thinus]

Please keep it civil guys.

I've scaled back a lot of the craftables to more affordable levels and added the tier pieces I intend to upgrade first so not going to bother with upgrades in those slots unless something drops in heroics that is useful.

ToC seems to have loads of upgrades. Thanks for the Lootrank link Knytestorme, very useful, are those weights pretty accurate?

[Knytestorme]

Yeah Thinus, just about all the weights for each of the class's and specs come from either EJ or other respected theorycrafters so you should be able to use them with confidence.....then again, there is no harm in adjusting them either if you need to value a certain stat differently for some reason.

All information on the "main" page of that website is outdated. If you want any relevant information you need to go to their forums and dig for it.

Whoops, sorry. I forgot that SOME people don't having to find things out on their own through research, they just want everything given to them on a platter. If you want them to update the site every patch just to keep data ''cutting edge'', go ahead.

And there's nothing wrong with BoEs.

Edit: Here, so your royal highness doesn't have to get his fingers dirty and look through some peksy forums. (Took three/four clicks from the main page. *GASP*)

Thanks for all the gear help. Two heroics cleared so far!!! Go me! Got my first piece of T9 as well.

If your shaman are geared, might be benificial to do heroics with them on your pally until you get geared =D

Grats btw.

Maintankadin's Failsafe gearing guide for a naked pally

This guide is freshly updated to 3.3 but Maintankadin has been doing failsafe guides for years, assuming no reliance on heroic drops so even your "I got hacked and they didn't restore me" pally can get geared.

This is basically what I did.

My pally tank will be secondary to my druid tank for now but I was planning on purchasing much of the items on Shodkan's list to make emblem farming a little smoother when I start playing him again.

Lots of good links here, I see lots of good tanking references you should definitely check out. I just recently started gearing my Paladin for tanking. I did a 3 day bender of nonstop solo heroics and many, many badges later, here is the result: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...Legion+of+Boom

That's the result of a lot of badges, a lot of cash, and 0 raid instances. My GS is sitting at 4545 and I'm comfortable that I'm ready to tank just about any raid I need to (except ICC, wtb wep / shield from HoR kkthks)

its crazy how fast you can gear up a fresh 80 now... I looked over some of my "forgotten" 80s and was astounded at their lack of gear.... I plan on doing solo pug heroic farming to get all my toons to a decent baseline gear level, so I can be able to get into most any raid, should the need arise. It's really quick too, especially if you do the weekly raid for more free loot...
