[MrWowplayer1234]

Great Guid thankyou!

[MrRazorSteam]

What song?

[brycetorres426]

I Reached The Wow Gold C4p In 4 D4ys, Cl!ck My N@me T0 F1nd 0ut How

[mikejheads]

@brycetorres426 i would click your name but your spelling puts me off

[idkmyname91]

U use ur seal im ur rotation? Im confused on that. Y would u need to rebuff urself everytime u pull? Props on the music btw

[xray5060]

@idkmyname91 I think he means judgment cuz its not anywhere else in the rotation

[GPNela]

great guide !!

[505joka]

i use seal of wisdom most of times

[alistair22996677]

At the moment paladin are the best class. They have so many buffs, shields and heals you dont stand a chance against them. Even when they are about to die they can use lay on hands which restores all their health!

[x1x8x9]

how to go raid?



[michaelomah]

@xcvfr57 Dude r u high?

[MrItalianAJ]

@michaelomah he must be :)

[mikey1029384]

@michaelomah I think he's just talking about D&D

[xcvfr57]

I'm a Paladin with 18 charisma and 97 hit points. I can use my helm of disintegration and do one D4 damage as my half-elf mage wields his plus-five holy avenger.

[Mikedoobz]

i have a lvl 49 paladin and i gain 29 lvls almost 30 lvls in 3 days.....im a nerd lol

[ErvinoM]

what kind of glyphs paladin prot needs?

[Vario2894]

Good :)

[thelopo45]

on 3:39 someone does a lightning bolt and whats the name for the bolt.

and do you need to be a shaman or something?

[BreadGamer]

@thelopo45 yes you need to be shaman and its called chain lightning

[moonraven312]

I have a 76 paly tank and have been tanking very well. I use seal of wis and it works just fine. Do i need to change to corruption/command and use divine plea for heroics & raids?

[zejtunguitarist10]

which is better for pvp a two handed mace or whatever it is and gives many dmg or a light sword with shield?

[MagiikCinema]

Whats the pally spell that gives u wings?

[Bronx1875]

@MagiikCinema Avengin Wrath

[MrXboxLiveGen]

@MagiikCinema Red bull

[killingman22]

so is retri best for tanking or just pwning lol

[xboable]

what is that add on called?

[iceheart2682]

nice vid, although I wouldnt recommend using SoR while raiding, EVER. Seal of Veng for single target pulls, Seal of Command for mobs of 3 or more. the stackable holy dot from veng will make a MAJOR difference in threat on boss fights.

[babyvegeta124]

Guys n Gals I am going to get back on wow soon i stop playing december wen i reach lvl 80 n plan to get back wen the expansion is close to coming out so now i forgot alot of stuff n places can ppl help me out messenge me or sumthing

[joi176]

[joi176]

rly :P

[markmason13]

ok nice short and to the point thanks m8

[robertik31]

wat are paladin specialties

[DeadMayhem6116]

nice vid man thanks for all the help..lmao ur on my server too but damn Im horde..see u in wintergrasp i guess heh..vid kinda old too but still nice man

[marcussmith680]

How do you get your attacks to scroll like that? Is it an interface option or an addon?

[meerkatman22]

..Vengance is single targeting....

[ZKftw]

hey can u tell me where u get those extra slots to ur right and the one ontop of your skill bar. im new so just asking

[Halibut86]

@ZKftw Esc->Interface->ActionBars You can enable them here

[per520]

OMG YOU LOOK AWESOME

[iluvgames303]

i have a question about being a pally off tank...... if ur the off tank should u still have righteous fury on?

[CoDSath]

Everyone:

Seal of Command = Alliance

Seal of Corruption = Horde

Seal of Vengeance = Alliance

Seal of Blood = Horde

[Troll5297]

A guide really? Justput riteous fury and put down consencration thats it

[iXhermitXi]

@Troll5297 you try that. see how long you keep agro.... and while your learning that, try learn how to type aswell :)

[Troll5297]

@iXhermitXi OMG ITS THE GRAMMAR POLICE!!!!

[iXhermitXi]

@Troll5297 wow. you must of spent ages spell checking that sentance. go you!

[greenbeenie60]

Your mistaken sov is for alliance bro.

[Dr4wingRs]

the only prob i have with tankin is the mana the rest is fine

[makeastory]

@Dr4wingRs devine pl in combat will keep resetting when hit use it much and seal of light heals will get mana back.

[Qboy92]

good jobb

[jamiejamking]

the glasses just fail ur armour

[Wario2it]

what i dont get is this seal of vengence every guide tells me i should be using seal of command in multigroup mobs but here it says seal of vengence can someone help me out here?

[wOwJoEy1993]

@Wario2it seal of vengance is for horde and command is for alliance if i am not mistaken

[RCtTProductions]

@Wario2it That's because only retribution can use Seal of Command. I'm a ret pally, I use Command when fighting mobs, and Vengeance when fighting a boss.

[RCtTProductions]

@Wario2it As tanking I use Seal of Wisdom while fighting mobs, and Vengeance with a boss. 

[puddnjaw]

lol u should switch on sov to singel target and sor for adds and trash

[ric777777]

How the F@#! do you keep aggro i can't do jack?

[TheGamingRage]

that swatting from platform to platform thing is awsome lol

[blacksword5]

how do u get the damage done and threat percentage bars in the center of your screen and slightly to the right

[SjPantheraonca]

great vid, just one qouestion? what is the best way to pull and keep agrro on many targets.... let's say 5+?

[HellboundG]

@SjPantheraonca Just shift targets and use hammer of righteous. Good if you have the hor glyph. use consecration aswell

[skylarotten]

wow my tank was alot better than yours and i barely was ever on, i was a sub for the main tank of my guild. the main tank had over 50k hp so he usually did the runs. me my self had over 40k hp and all the raiding 10 mans items and well imo you need better gear, its good but not great. this video makes me wanna start tanking again, i miss it. lol. you are a good tank thought.

[george21151]

@skylarotten kk the start of 2009 this was posted so who cares how much hp u have now with icc 10 running i have 40k ub too this guy has good gear for that time

[agumentas]

@skylarotten You posted this two weeks ago this vid is over a year old. Notice they're raiding naxx. Of course you have 40k hp now, the game has come a long way in a year. Before you knock a guy trying to help ppl pay attention to whats going on. The video hasn't been updated because the tanking mechanics haven't changed though the content has.

[djupvik2]

Seal of command is good on aoe btw

[dxbkhalifa]

Epic lol 3:10 no aura imba...

[quogequox]

What is the layout being used for this? Bars and such.

[Lukiel666]

Ahhh; just looked it up 91,588 highest hit dealt under stats; combat; WOW Armory. Now if only it had been a boss instead of a random mob... *sigh*

[Lukiel666]

Nice health guys. But if ya want a laugh check out highest hit (dam. one-shot) on my dual spec prot ret Dokufu on Ravenholdt server. Level 72 and highest hit over 90K... all buffs up in full grp and EVERYTHING procced! LOL dumb luck does sometimes win out over skill. Stat recorded in WOW Armory.

[javinas96]

at 3:05 you have ur back to the mob bad bad idea you cant parrie or dodge or block while ur back is against the mob

[firebonzai]

wow nice video, my tank has around 44k hp with 1 stam trinket. i have 568 defence, 28.5% dodge, 21.7% parry and 13 % block. and thats all unbuffed ;) dont believe me? look up wrâth on EU server draenor in the guild ashes reborn ;D have fun ^^

[Widowmaker7777]

My Pally Tank is about 33k Health.. it is also well over the D Cap.. Cause More D means more Dodge,Parry.. so by stack stam if you can get more Avoidance.. Hate Stam Tanks.. They are hard to Keep Healed

[mtggamer4]

@Widowmaker7777 well this makes sense, but u cant block/dodge/parry DOTS in ICC so u need more life along with defcapping is more needed but u also need block/dodge/parry so boo its kind of a double sided sword.

[mccourtmcc]

i actually recon wen the new expansion coms out ppl wiil prob hve near 55k hp unbuffed lol

[javinas96]

@mccourtmcc if you mean when catas out and people are raid geared in cata it will be more like 100k unbuffed as blizz says stats should double each x pack

[jordanalanclaxton]

28k used to be hard to get before they brought out the new emblems u wud b lucky to get a tank with over 28k very lucky nowadays cause of the emblems its easy to get health so every tank has 30-40k at least (unless they jsut dinged lvl 80) also u could only do one heroic a day which meant u got like 4 emblems from one hc a day and they wernt worth nearly as much as the new emblems.

[me30abc]

28k health, Damn. I have 34.5k unbuffed. When did you release this video?

[Haglan12]

Wow Do u have 34,5k Unbuffed Lol Got 43,3k unbuffed

[ThePallychamp]

hey wat server do u play on

[rush5ful]

lol yea u need like 35 or more but if u have like 25 or 28 u need like a shizzzz load of defencive rating,block,parry,and dodge raitings if ur tanking with the buch health lol

[Supawaffle9]

wow 28 k health that's low for a tank

[12games]

this was during patch 3.0.3 that's normal for a good gear tank right now. most tanks have around over 3k or higher in the new patch now

[pigsandsheep]

when wotlk first came out mate it was alot

[sillebje1983]

It is a part of Deadly Boss Mods

[101techkid]

acdc!

[jewsterbeam]

Whats the addon showing the life of bosses. Like when you fight 2 bosses at the same time, a twin bar appears in your screen.. the start green and fade till red and is shown in precentage.. Is it a addon? Or does it come with the game? :D

[Lamzic]

that comes up during that encounter before the boss, 2 groups need to kill 2 of those mabs at the same time. thats just to help the groups compare the health.

[jewsterbeam]

@Lamzic Ah thanks! :D

[chap1400]

i prefer using hammer of Righteousness BEFORE consecration to ensure i have the aggro, consecration is good but it relies on ticks where as Hammer of Righteousness is instant threat

[Purnizzle]

It's kinda wierd how back then 28k was enough to be a main tank. Now main tanks can easily do 50k+ HP =S

[kylecuzdey]

nice vid

[monkeyblackout]

nice thx helped a lot =)

[909InlandEmpire909]

SoV???

[roadrunner2131]

you must play a Blood Elf? Seal of Vengeance would be the same as your Seal of Corruption.

[909InlandEmpire909]

@roadrunner2131 ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

sadly yes im a gay ass looking fucking blood elf.

[doggy700]

tbh HP is a bigi part of it but parry dodge and block are even bigger if u have a tank that is a boss tank he'll have lower hp but higher dodge and parry so all you people bitching about hp =S

[Covas7T]

ph my god, ffs noobs look at the date.

[munro7174]

@greenhorse10 VERY TRUE  i have a lvl 20 pally hes not a twink but he can rape one im on trial acount as well:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O ::O :::O:::O:::O:::O PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW BLOOD ELVES ARE GAY PALLYS FTW B

[BeatlesFan32]

22k hp for heroics, and 26k for raids?? waaaahhh???

I will refuse to heal a tank in heroics if hp is below 29k

as for raids you need at least 35k

[NineInchKr1d]

yeah i mean we didnt do Hc's at all when tanks were at 28k hp ... we just waited for smart healers like you to come around... yo jackass... ppl are still gearing up and have maybe avoidance stats etc. at lower IL gear so... while u dictate what u want to heal look at the date of this video and u might understand that this was at the start of WOTLK where every1 didnt have 35k unbuffed and wise asses like u had 2k sp :)

[BeatlesFan32]

uhh it was only 2 monts ago o.O ... yes tanks did have 35k unbuffed :P

[BeatlesFan32]

woooops! you're right my bad xD 2009*****

xDDD sorry i kinda forgot it was 2010, my greatest apologies

[richard2mitchell]

@BeatlesFan32 LOL U FAIL U DIDNT LOOK AT THE DATE THIS WAS PUT OUT

[BeatlesFan32]

hey! why don't you chill the fuck out? Yea I did look at the date... and I saw January 3rd 2009.. yea so I forgot it was 2010, no need to troll

[richard2mitchell]

You know what i could get in to a long battle of wits with u but 2 things.

1:You are un armed.

2:I dont want to so bye.

[Glitym8]

@BeatlesFan32 god, ive tanked icc25 with 32k ub, its no problem at all

[Funkypotato14]

All the classes are good, different ones perform different roles in groups and each class has strengths and weaknesses

[zacharyg2536]

i just got wow , and i want to know what the best class is ??? ( iv tried the trail and i like all of the classes alot but i wan to know which has the best abilities in the long range out come of the game , like when i get to high levels )

[fire00714]

Pick a druid, They are amazing in healing, tanking and dps.

[archer10227]

It ALL depends on how you use them.. Paladins are pretty over powered but if you do not know how to use them, they suck.. its just a matter of learning whats best for you

[doool182]

You should try pally, (what i did was i got almost every class with every race up to lvl 10 and see how i liked it, i got my gnome up to 30 and realized gnomes are gay, so make sure you are sure, right now i have a Blood Elf Pally <----- My fav.

[greenhorse10]

@doool182 blood elfs are the fags of wow.

[WhiteTigersPkTeam]

AC/DC RULE

[RuNeCuRtAiN]

BLACK CIE SUCKS. END OF STORY.

[RuNeCuRtAiN]

ICE*

[lalabEsjen]

thats nice :D

[akguitar94]

ahh i remember whein my pally first hit 80. i leveld prot but didnt have that much experience in H's because i just aoe grinded mostly, but i was in shit gear, and tanking with 22k hp buffed and 507 def rating lul

im not fail anymore though =)

[Sh1ttywaffles]

AC DC!!!

[blacksuntgl]

I would say not to get all Stam gems after you get caped more D rating helps more then more stam, For raids i would say 30k hp and for heroics 20k unbuffed

[jjasper1993]

@blacksuntgl I don't know what kinda raids you still play, but with 30k hp you almost can't tank totc10/25, not gonna talk about icc....

[Gcrab789]

Good vid, but i have to disagree with your weapon enchant. Potency is the best pally tank enchant the 20str gives you a boost in threat, from weapon and as a tankadin boosts your spellpower. The str also adds sbv as a nice bonus

[ifightyou]

Paladin's dont need threat boosts sir... 6-9-6-9 Rotation makes it difficult to even taunt off them!

[PiloyD]

Awesome vid

[luckyluke793]

ACDC UIS THE BEST

[lelloschappy]

m8 ty

[wowguy420]

nice vid, great pally but.... b-elf pallies are better

[brennen182]

how so they sorb mana...BUT humans can debuff limited casts....everyman for himself> B elf

[resistance137]

aaah stfu, Dwarven Pallies ftw ;P

[yourdemiser]

they are

[FallenAngelSnipe]

HordeFTW alies are cool too I guess >.>

[unholyd]

Hey thanks for posting this video. i just began being a pally tank at 80. So, I had no clue what to do..Thanks alot..P.S.. Wish you were Horde...LOL

[stumpy2k0]

How do you move your chat box up ??

[LauwereysM]

Just right click on it

[cooldello6]

[MrDamnYouAllToHell]

The artist is AC/DC

[memberofthejabs]

lol im throught the first 2 secound and i already new it was ac/dc i saw them live in paris they are so cool anyway nice vid

im gonna go make a paladin right now

[RTV3000]

Is that an addon, that thing with an eagle in each end of the action bars? and if it is, what's it called?

[phonebizook]

No its the standard ui. Just switch ur video to wide screen under video options

[DJmunkiez]

u need to change ur video resolutions

[Enfirnity]

dude his hd version is very nice!

[DJmunkiez]

not all of us can use HD though

[MufF1N01]

What's up with the 2 shield of righteous on the skill bar?

[nullins]

Epic!

[perrotthill]

Great sound track; a nice change from the usual heavy metal that blairs over WoW youtube uploads. Also some great advice... many thanks for this

[bowboy640]

ur one of the best tanks ive seen and as a pally tsnk myself you've really helped me thanksif u wanna talk to me or owt ma realm is azjol-nerub

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

as soon as i log in im greeted by acdc. thank you. it was epic.

[thepeep007]

i just wanna know is that a blood elf or a human?

[darknite121]

thats a human

[mania619]

@thepeep007 It is a Human.

[killingman22]

hey there can you tell me wher you got your sword and shield plzz

[darknite121]

the sword is from heroic UP. and the sheild is made from blacksmiths

[IhatemidgetsXD]

Sword "Red Sword of Courage UP HC king ymiron(last boss)

Sheild"titansteel Shield Wall: Crafting by a Blacksmith Requiers : Frozen Orbs,Titansteel Bars,Saronite Bars

[davidsolak]

Is prot easier for leveling? cause i just hit outlands on a pally and ive been through outlands on many chars inc. a hunter a dk and a warrior but i was not prot as awarrior but i heard you never die while leveling....any inputs i loved to hear

[washburn113095]

i leveled as prot untill 40 then i dual speced prot/ret used ret for normal leveling and prot for killing elites and stuff hope it helps

[saxfax123]

there used to be a glitch that rank 1 and 2 didnt share the same cd, used to abuse the hell out of it then blizz fixed it :P

[DtoWnSux1]

wats that macro do exactly?

[HolyManOnTheRun]

Casts "Righteous Defence" on the target of ur Target... eg. Boss attacks Healer... When u then press macro, the healer gets Righteous Defence from u = up to 3 mobs hitting target (Priest in this case) will be taunted by you :)

[DtoWnSux1]

so i dont gota click the person who has aggro???JUST CLICK MACRO and who ever has aggro gets the taunt i cast??that corrct?

[HolyManOnTheRun]

Ye... The ToT = Target of ur target...

I have eg. same macro-like function for 5-man dungeoneering, on my Enh. Shammy... When I bang on a Boss, and I see tank low on Hp (Target of Target) I press macro, and heal Target of target, wo shifting my own target :)

[DtoWnSux1]

DOES it only work in instances or sumthin it wont work for me!:(

[DtoWnSux1]

shield of right. is alota aggro?

[iztok1234]

in 3.1.3. it didn' t increase stam+str btt it does now, so use sela of vengeance and BoS

[DxDBigbeasty21]

i think seal of corruption is better tanking seal...and use a blessing of sanctuary is better than kings because it reduces 3% damage and it give Sta and Str by 10% too

[Deathboy2k]

Thanks alot for this guide, i think this will help me alot, I'm currenty a dps mainspecce human paladin on bloodteather, offspecced tank with 23k hp witouth no gems or enchants.

With this i'm gonna start tanking and soon go to naxx 10

[anakso]

As a prot paladin I'd recommend don't use this guide anymore except for itemization, still need to get def capped before stacking health etc but most of the stuff in this guide like seal use, spec, rotation is quite outdated.

In fact, as for the rotation it was never like that he's just got the rotation wrong,

Search 96969 and paladin or prot paladin and you'll probably find a good rotation.

[el060248]

Keyboard turner :D

[Handicap152]

Fucking nice guide!! :D

[RTV3000]

Excellent guide! 5 stars :P

[bginn450]

Ive been to UP heroic 6 times now and the sword still hasent dropped 4 me:(

[wowpwned9594]

Can some one tell me how can u see ur buffs without using ur mouse coz im a little bit of a clicker and i want to change to only use the keyboard please tell me it would help me alot thanks and nice vid :)

[danaownsall]

lol u NEVER turn ur back to ur target as a tank u cant dodge, block, or parry shit...

[pallypimp247]

now you should gear for 540 def and at least 32k for raids

[dbespoy]

when i saw 1/3/09 i was like wtf kind of spec is that xD then realised it was the date....... /facepalm. :)

[jimmsens]

hehehehehgehehehe :D
