Burning Crusade Classic Protection Paladin Guide : Preraid gear failsafe options

-

This is a list of preraid gear to get you to Uncrushable that does not rely on any drops or any reputations above revered. Using just this method, you can get your paladin to uncrushable status quickly with no luck at all. This is intended to provide a baseline for future raiding. This will not be your final gear set. 

Head

Felsteel Helm (crafted)

Neck

Strength of the Untamed (Cenarion Expedition revered)

Shoulders

Nexus-Guard's Pauldrons (quest: Success!)

Warchief's Mantle (quest: Return to Andormu)

Back

Cloak of Eternity (crafted)

Chest

Breastplate of the Warbringer (quest: Forge Camp: Annihilated)

Vindicator's Hauberk (Aldor Revered)

Wrists

Shatari Wrought Armguards (quest: The Soul Devices)

Bracers of the Green Fortress (crafted)

Hands

Felsteel Gloves (crafted)

Gauntlets of the Chosen (Scryers revered)

Belt

Shatari Vindicator's Waistguard (quest: How to Break Into the Arcatraz)

Legs

Timewarden's Leggings (Keepers of Time Revered)

Felsteel Leggings (crafted)

Legguards of the Resolute Defender (quest: Destroy Naberius!)

Feet

Flesh Beast's Metal Greaves (quest: Someone Else's Hard Work Pays Off)

Rings

Andormu's Tear (quest: Hero of the Brood)

Protector's Mark of the Redemption (quest: Dissension Among the Ranks...)

Delicate Eternium Ring (crafted)

Trinkets

Dabiri's Enigma (quest: Dimensius the All-Devouring)

Regal Protectorate (quest: Cruel's Intentions)

Weapon

Continuum Blade (Keepers of Time revered)

Seeker's Gavel (Shattered Sun revered - Phase 5)

Crystalforged Sword (world drop)

I highly recommend you enchant with major spellpower as you will not be getting a new weapon for a long, long time.

Shield

Shield of the Wayward Footman (world drop)

Netherwing Defender's Shield (quest: Ally of the Netherwing - don't get the Netherwing Protector's shield; you'll regret it later) - this quest is not currently implemented in Burning Crusade Classic.

I highly recommend the Wayward shield. Start looking for it on the AH early; put an alt in SW/Org and check every day. You can start using it at 65, so start looking then or even earlier. It is far and away the best shield for uncrushability.

Libram

Libram of Repentance (15 Badges of Justice)

Cataclysm Profession Bonuses

I mentioned towards the end of my last post that I would be switching my Hunter from Skinning to Engineering. Well the little caveat I made about not gimping myself turned out to be pretty important. I had a brief Twitter conversation with Fiest the Rogue. If you care about high end PVE raiding, you need to be following @ FiesttheRogue . He is a tremendous resource and very helpful. He gave me a link to an EJ article and explained to me that for melee DPS and Hunters Engineering is not competitive with what is provided by the other professions. Its fantastic for casters apparently, but I'm not a caster. Other classes can get equal STR or INT to the AGI you see here. Tanks have the option for Stamina. Alchemy - mixology (longer, better flasks), Alchemist Stone (special trinket - Mastery), and Flask of Enhancement (special flask +80 AGI) Blacksmithing - socket bracers, gloves (2 extra gems ~=+80 AGI) Enchanting - Ring Enchants (AGI to two rings ~= 80 AGI) Inscription -

Raid Comp Tool

Thanks to Matticus to telling me about this on Twitter. mmo-champion has produced a new Raid Composition tool, you can see it here: http://raidcomp.mmo-champion.com/ On the left you have all 30 'classes'. Every spec of every class is presented. In the center are your groups. I have no idea why they have this set up with 8 groups. You'd only ever see 8 groups (40 players) in AV and you have almost 0 control over the composition in that arena. Then on the right you have the raid buffs, and a count of Healers, Ranged, Melee, and Tanks. You drag the class from the left and drop it on the raid group slot. Your count is increased, and the buffs that you have covered light up in green. Let me pick a class/spec completely at random. Protection Paladin. There. Say you pull over a Protection Paladin and put them in group 1. Your Tank count goes to 1 and you can see Mana Restore (Judgement of Wisdom), Melee Attack Speed Slow (Judgement of the Just), and Healing Received (Impro

Back To Basics: The 969 Paladin Threat Rotation

-
Protection Paladins are one of the last classes in WoW that still have a Rinse and Repeat rotation known affectionately as 969. The 969 rotation was discovered in Wrath of the Lich King Beta by Psiven who then taught it to the rest of the community via Maintankadin. It begins by recognizing that the main Protection Paladin threat moves all come in varieties of 8 to 9 second cooldowns and 6 second cooldowns. We treat the 8 second cooldown moves as 9 seconds to better fit with a 1.5 second global cooldown. The 9s are Judgment (talented), Consecrate and Holy Shield. The 6s are Hammer of the Righteous and Shield of Righteousness. The 9 second and 6 second cooldowns are rotated and alternated. With a 1.5 second global cooldown, this all fits together into a fairly tight rotation. The way this works in practice is that you lead off your threat rotation with a 9 second talented cooldown Judgment. This is the opening spell because it puts your Judgements of the Just debuff on the mob whi
