Phase 3 Prot Paladin Gear Discussion & Guide.

hey guys dev here so today we're going to be taking a look at prop paladin loot for the next two raids hyjal and black temple before we jump into the gear i just want to take a second to just mention my patreon if you do enjoy this type of content or any of my content that i make and you do want a way to support the channel patreon links below even a few dollars a month goes a long way to help me create videos so consider it all right let's go with the gear just a car face guard this is the cara helm at this point you should have replaced it with tf5 crystal forge face guard should be your go-to helm at this point next here we're going to be picking up lightbringer face guard which is a direct replacement for crystal forged face guard this is a really good helm but there is another option as well and that's going to be face plate of the impenetrable so both the lightbringer face guard and the faceplate of impenetrable are pieces that you want to pick up they serve different roles my lightbringer face guard is gonna get the spell power enchant on it it's gonna be my threat home it's gonna be you know my 95 of the time where i'm tanking i'm probably using this helm face place with the impenetrable will be getting a defense enchant and this is going to be my really heavy tanking piece that i use block sets i'll also show you some quick figures so i've got these tables made up for every single piece we've got uncrush and yellow avoidance in red that includes the avoidance that you get from defense as well we've also got block dodge and parry displayed as their own and these are only showing the ratings from each piece so as you can see faceplate of the impenetrable has an amazing 7.69 nice percent crush which really stands out as one of the biggest defensive pieces in the in the entirety of next tier so if you do want to get crush cap quite easily and this is going to be the piece that you're going to want to probably keep on some of the time it's going to allow you to hit that uncrushed cap quite easily and possibly allow you to get spell power into other pieces because i'm using face plate of the impenetrable on my block set i do want to mention uh the current block helm that we're currently running or a lot of us are running which is face guard of determination i know some people just go straight to e5 but as you can see this is a massive step up in stats from the old block helm and it shows you just how far gear has come in just a few tears all right so just to summarize those helms really quickly we're looking for light bring a face guard for a threat set face got faceplate of the impenetrable for our super defensive set slash block set when we're doing big trash pulls and whatnot different enchants for different jobs before we get too stuck in the gear i just want to quickly touch on this one but the importance of maintaining different sets and different pieces for different roles so the notion that there is a correct bis for a tank and i've seen a lot of tanks they put on one set of gear for the entire raid they switch nothing out and that's how they play the game i think that's a really lazy way of playing prop valley so a lot of the skill with prop pally comes from picking the correct gear for the correct job switching gear out from pull to pull depending on what you're tanking how much you're tanking is it a big aoe pool is it single target you know the the mobs in tempest keeper and uh great examples that do the overchargeability they can hit for about 15k you should be switching into any any hp set for that because you need to get her up around like 17k to be quite comfortable so moving into next phase if you want to be a great protection paladin you should be looking at lots of different pieces creating quite a few sets i can do another video on all the sets that i use and how to design good sets but there's no just one perfect item in a lot of these cases and you're going to want to pick up a few options for each slot okay so moving on to neck we're going to use the darkness grasp next phase just bring out a new neck pendant of the titans so this is a defense rating dodge and hit rating we'll see how that's stuck up really quickly on our on our graph so darkness grasp giving a 4.79 on crush and this just doesn't really stack up when you look at the two point five seven percent on the avoidance table this is the one in red a lot of the stat budget on this item comes from hit rating and we don't really benefit that much from a lee hit rating so remembering hit rating and spell hurt rating are separate stats so this is a much better item for your druid or your warrior tank so you really want to stick with darkness grasp for your defensive option that's what i'll be doing let the druids and the warriors get pendant of the titans so thinking about what we just spoke about with different pieces for different jobs we're going to look at a thread option now so three different options here first of which is vindicator's pendant of dominance so this is actually a pvp neck the stats on it are pretty crazy though we've got 35 stem with a yellow socket so with the yellow socket you can go a spell pair and spell hit gem it's going to give you that extra free stamina and really push this into a crazy threat piece gives you 18 resilience as well which is really good for maintaining credibility when you're in a super threat set so even breaking down the threat pieces further so vindicator's pendant of dominance would be your your go-to aoe tanking threat neck if you need more threat and you're on a boss brooch of unquenchable fury is a really nice neck so over one percent spell hit at level 70 you got 15 spell hit now what you need to remember is next phase we're going to be using exorcism a lot so that's actually going to increase the value of spell hit compared to what we get out of it for this tier so dropping a little stamina on this piece uh pvp neck is probably better overall but it's worth a mention if you don't want a pvp the other neck that's worth a mention real quick before we move on is pendant to the lost ages so this has a nice amount of stamina it's got the 36 damage in healing where this really shines is its use effect so it's got a 20 reduced duration on a silence or interrupts so if you're tanking trash that has a silence in any of the raids this is a really good option okay so next up come the shoulders so just a car shoulder guards which have been very loyal to us they've been a great piece next year though you're going to be breaking that two set for the most part the raw stats on the new tier is just so big you don't really want to give it up so we're moving on to lightbringer shoulder guards let's talk about the set bonus a little bit before we move on so i've heard a lot of people um get really excited for this it says increases the amount of gain from your spiritual achievement by 10 so this is brings your spiritual treatment up to 11 not 20 so the maths on that is a little bit janky but i originally thought it was 20 and i was cheering but turns out that's not the case so light bringing shoulder guards are also a really great looking shoulder so definitely something you want to pick up so the other piece to talk about is pauldrons of the abscissal fury so because there's different shoulder enchants it might be worth picking these up they're not that great but if you were going to put the defensive and the defense dodge enchant on them they may see some play in a really defensive set but again i think threat is going to be the governing factor for next tier if you're planning on maintaining things so overall lightbringer shoulder guards are a much better for me personally i'll probably still be picking up both um when i can get them i won't be rushing for the absence of fury if the warrior tank wants them but i'll be going defense dodge on one and spell power on the lightbringer shoulder guards okay so we've got the good old justice guard which most of us are still running for the two set so when you pick up your lightbringer chest guard this will get replaced your threat will now come from a lot more consecration as well as the raw stats just being so good like we spoke about so the only other chest that's available for this tier is gloria the defender this is a big defense dodge and hit rating again it's better for the warrior tanks so if the warrior wants this first let him have it they get so so much more out of hit but if you look at the mitigation on this one so lightbringer for the pure avoidance is only 1.55 that's the red red table uh glory defender 4.45 this is a really good defensive piece for actually dodging attacks um but it will hurt your thread output it will also get less mana back because you're getting hit hit less compared to just blocking attack not getting crushed taking in a good amount of damage and then getting that back as mana so will i pick it up probably because i do like to have a really diverse threat kit will i be going for it first nope let the warrior get it even if off spec warrior wants to jump in uh pick this up for his tanking set before you not the end of the world light bring a chest guard is where you're going to spend 95 percent of your time okay for the cloaks this is a bit of a funny one the current cloak most of us are wearing is the last cloak the phoenix wing cloak the only new option next here is preppy shot of pacification again it's another big hit rating piece with dodge on it not even defense on it this time and how they stack up is less avoidance on the peppies most of the staff budget on this was spent on the 25 hit rating not something we want warriors druids offspec warriors again let them take this don't fight for it it's um not even something i'm gonna be looking at picking up for my kit so for your cloak pvp cloak still reigns supreme it's probably one of the most balanced pieces so we've got hit rating with resilience on this one which when you're pushing a lot of spell power pieces in picking up a little bit of resilience to make up for the lack of defense rating on some pieces is really handy however royal cloak of the sunstriders is probably the best aoe tanking cloak in the game but you might have to fight for this one if you want to get it i personally i'm not a fan of taking dps pieces away from dps for pure trash tanking so sergeant's heavy cloak isn't that far behind when you think about it and you don't have to make any dps upset to get it so if there's a spur royal cloak the sunstriders pick it up but if not pvp cloak will get the job done the other one that's worth talking about real quickly is ruby drake of the mysticant so this is a good deal of hit rating on it so if you're looking for a cloak um that you can switch in on those exorcism demon bosses this is a good one obviously hit rating is going to increase your threat by a fair bit and um we're gonna get some nice uh nice exos the thing to think about as well when we talk about hit writing it's not necessarily the maximum amount of threat it kind of works like expertise for warrior and druid tanks so the the good thing about expertise as well as increasing threat is it like kind of lifts the floor a little bit so you're not going to have those big runs of um when you get like you know a lot of resists a lot of they get a lot of dodges a lot of parries can really them over early on in the pool so that's why hit rating is so good for us okay so moving on to the braces next uh quite a few options here so the current braces you're probably running is abrasives of dignity with a spell power enchant and risk guards of determination with a stamina enchant upgrades next here come from seekers wrist guards so these are going to be your your 95 uh wrists the other options of eternium shell braces so eternium shell braces i believe should go to warrior first given the option because it's the only wrist upgrade they have i would take the second pair of these though stamina onto the eternium shells spell power onto the seekers wrist guards and you've got yourself two really nice pairs of braces there for different jobs seekers wrist guards obviously really good palate and this is what i'm really happy to see you know you've got your defense rating shield block rating and spell power it's like finally great gear for the pallies it's looking really good turning michele brace plates 2.57 avoidance you've only got one percent on the seekers wrist cards but nearly five percent towards your crush cap so they are really good just different braces guys different jobs so you're tanking a lot of trash or you're tanking some huge hard hitting boss again you might not have the option of always going for the super defensive options if you need to keep your thread output high but all these little tools in the toolbox you know really can help you out especially as we move into sunwell okay so for the hands crystal forge handguards this is what i've been wearing 95 of the time right now in my super mitigation set though i do have royal gauntlets of the silver moon next here we've got the lightbringer handguards and these are really nice hands so i'm going to be wearing these 95 at time these are going to be my you know my balance set my threat set hands haven't decided what gem i'm going in maybe you're glowing for some stamina spell power probably something like that if you're a past queen you'll have to smash passes spell power enchant if you actually want to maximize your threat two percent threat uh gauntlets of enforcement are the other options this tier these are 100 a warrior item please do not bid on these please do not try and convince your loot council these are good for you they are not let the warriors get them beautiful expertise which warriors get a lot of value out of and defense a little bit of shield block value as well for the it increases the shield's thumb a little bit we don't really get any offensive threat out of that so great warrior hands good to see but not for us okay so this is how the hands stack up we've got the light bringers sitting ahead for mitigation and on par with the crystal forge in terms of your crash cap and most pieces here are going to be climbing in terms of crush cap so you're probably going to be ended up with like a lot of bonus stats so if a piece loses a 0.1 percent from crush it's not the end of the world not when you're picking up such a big amount of avoidance and it's going to make you feel tankier overall so okay belts there are sony belts there are enough belts you could wear one around your head as a as a headscarf to be honest okay so current belts we're currently running crimson girdle of the and domino from a rose is still a great belt this belt is actually a little bit over tuned for when it came out belts the guardian is a good threat option um the best defensive belt in the game right now is god lived in vulnerable from ssc um new belts that are coming out so girdle of mighty resolve so this is uh obviously a piece designed for paladin we've got defense block rating block value and damage and healing the other belt that exists scarlet stability so these have the same amount of stamina on them so 15 56 56 the girdler stability is a little bit better for warrior but it's not really even worth taking as a paladin at this point good almighty resolve is just so good so nearly five percent towards our crush cap um their girdle stability doesn't really come with a huge amount of avoidance like a lot of the pieces we look at we're like okay this one is good for avoidance this one is good for threat gerdle mighty resolve just feels stronger in every way shape and form it's got a lot of shield block value but doesn't really lean into us so good luck stability for the warriors go to the mighty resolve for the paladins not too much loot discussion there nice and easy it's nice when it's like that one okay so moving on to the legs so we've got the tier 6 the light bringers so these have a nice amount of stem they've got the defense they've got the dodge they've got the damage and healing and then we also have these really interestingly and quite strange legs predatorians leg guards so they have a massive amount of stamina 75 stamina dodge parry hit no defense on a tanking piece which is quite interesting so warriors are probably finding at this point that they've got so much defense that they don't need to put defense on every single piece so this is where i think this piece was designed for so this is definitely a warrior first piece however i'll be picking up the second of these and going all blue gems with a stamina and an edgy enchant uh for my lightbringer leg guards i'm going to be going spell power and stamina the the caster one use these as my threat set use predators like like guards as my defensive set the uh praetorians leg guards are actually a little bit behind lightbringers in terms of their raw avoidance but the amount of stamina that we're going to stack onto those is just going to be absolutely nutty so it's going to increase our ehp which is really nice but most of the time i'll be spending my life in the lightbringers and only wearing the predatorians if i need to get super tanky quite an interesting pick on the legs though so let's move on pick up both of those don't steal the first praetorians like guards from the warrior if they want them all right moving on to boots so i'll quickly just show you the two blacksmithing options these only really count if you're a blacksmith most of you should be in boots of the resilient or if you've not got lucky on these you'll probably be in battle scars from cara so boots of the resilient still holding up really well so i've actually been asked quite a few times this week if people should switch to blacksmithing to make these boots and the answer is no the reason for that is tide stompers grooves exist from the first boss of black temple completely uncontested boots these have got spell power on them so the warriors weren't stealing off stealing them off you i also got defense and a good amount of dodge which is real nice so these are going to be your your go-to boots um the other boots that exist come from a shade of acoma again a hit rating piece so geared a little bit more towards the the warrior tanks miradom's treads are slightly ahead in terms of avoidance and crush cap for that matter but you do lose the 30 spell power the tide stompers greaves are so close that it's not really worth considering it losing 30 spell power when the boots are this tightly tightly stacked um they've got the same sockets two sockets in each 56 stamina trading spell power for hit it's a threat loss so grab tide stompers call it a day you shouldn't need the muradom's treads but if you get unlucky in the end two miradors treads one tides zero tide slumpers sorry pick up the second pair of miradors until you can get your hands on the tide stompers greaves okay that sums up head to toes for loot if it's a few days after this video has gone live there'll be a link on the screen right now to part two which is all the trinkets rings and weapons go watch that one thanks for watching guys hit that sub and
