Nicholas,

I have been tanking for about 4 months now, and you have taught me a ton. Can’t wait to try. My issue is taunting, and threat generation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this,

Also, it is only an upgrade of the basic auto attack, which generates little significant threat.

Most tanks won’t spec into reckoning because it doesn’t help towards threat all that much, other than getting vengeance up, which is usually at 5 stacks by the time this procs.

I’m an 80pally tank who has tanked since I could run instances.I do icc weekly with my guild. This guide is arguably one of the best explanations possible for tankadins. The only thing I don’t use that’s in this is the rotation. I have found that I do better when I use whatever is off of cooldown, making sure to keep holy shield, consecration, and shield of righteousness(libram buff) up at all times. I end up cranking out about 4k dps on bosses in icc to, without losing threat. Rotation isn’t as important for pallies, just figure out what spells help and keep them up. Then proceed to faceroll on keyboard.

I’ve been all over the forums and sites trying to find the very best (updated for 3.3 as well maybe) pally-tank rotation.. i’ve tweaked mine a hundred times used macros (removed the macros, as i want badly to learn it the right way first). Everything I’ve read seems simple enough, use a 96969 rotation. What confuses me is that along with this all the guides (aside from avenger’s shield to pull with) start out with a 6 sec cd… am i missing something fundamental here?

PS I’m sticking with this site i think, so far it’s the most straight forward =)
PSS Do you update for each patch?

Thank you very much for this insightful look at Paladin tanking. I have other level 80′s but always been scared to get into tanking. Hopefully this will change with the information I got from your guide.
