question, why seal of truth? i usualy use seal of insight



[aeonknight86]

@Zeruen seal of truth is the better seal for tanking because you can use the glyph to grant extra expertise and this seal also provides constant holy damage for threat that will stack on multiple targets when you aoe using Hammer of the Righteous and Avenger's Shield :)

[Zeruen]

@aeonknight86 ahhhh i see now

[ean7000]

What level is your pally and is he decently geard? Cause my level 74 brutal protection twinkle hits 13 k sacred duty 3 holy power pally shells slam.

[hellomeo1]

@aeonknight86 I just became prot so bare with me if this is a noob question, wouldn't seal of justice be better than seal of truth because it reduces the enemy's attack speed by 20% due to talents?

hi great video it help me alot and i want to ask you a question , how do you keep track of everything like your health,your friend health,enemy health,aggro,ads and stuff similar to that.please answer this if you aswer this its will really help me on tanking/healing

[aeonknight86]

@zwan09 so what I use are the addons: VuhDo (healing with Word of Glory or Hand of Protection), TauntMaster (helps manage your taunt offs in case someone in the party has pulled aggro), getting IceHud or DHud helps watch your hp and mana/rage as well as your target and ToT. I get all my addons from wow.curse.com

Hope this helps!! =)

great video (:

You say that keeping Blessing of Kings on you is good when tanking.. but every time i qeue for a random someone always asks for me to put Blessing of Might. what do i do? I thought blessing of might wouldnt be all that bad seeing as how it gives back mana and all of the paladins threat building abilities cost mana and if im spamming hammer of the righteous i start to run out of mana..

[TazzyJX]

@Viigore if you have a druid in the party then they use mark of the wild. it has the same effect as BoK so it replaces it. You putting BoM up means 2 buffs right. A if you use your judgement whenever you can you should always recover mana.

[aeonknight86]

@TazzyJX exactly! =)

[3nthus]

Clicker.

[MrPandaPIMP]

@3nthus dude i dont think u need keybinds for tanking in my opinion =\ im not a clicker but im just saying

[TazzyJX]

@3nthus he is just showing you what he's doing. this doesn't mean he clicks when he is actually tanking. go troll somewhere else

[aeonknight86]

@TazzyJX thanks for the help bud and yeah I do key binds but using my mouse to show what spell that would be used

[madaraXakatsuki]

why use seal of truth ?

[PotatoOrgy]

@madaraXakatsuki Seal of truth can stack on targets, providing more damage. More damage = more threat. At least that's what I'm assuming.

[aeonknight86]

@PotatoOrgy exactly right bro! It provides a decent DoT and extra damage proc

[PotatoOrgy]

@aeonknight86 You're channel seems to be pretty new but I look forward to seeing more Pally Tank videos. It's my first time tanking so I'm trying to find places that have updated (Cata) information. Keep up the good work!

[aeonknight86]

@PotatoOrgy Thanks for the compliment and I am working on more. Just been a bit busy because I graduate this semester so I've been meeting with my department and see advisors double check my units. There's gonna be a Cruicible of Carnage video with live tanking tips in the works!!

@james2667

2. I would say focus on one spec first because you will need to take the time to get really familiar with tanking and learn the tricks of the tankadin. I can understand why you would wanna give yourself more utility but I suggest it best to focus on one first. If you wanna try to do both then by all means you should =)

3. I did mining/jc for my paladin but anything really can be used. I'm planning to possibly go ench/jc but we'll see.

[PotatoOrgy]

@aeonknight86 I agree, I leveled my pally back when as Ret when it didn't suck, and switched to prot when leveling him to 80-85 to learn the skills and work on rotations. I went with Ench/Script, for the ring/shoulder enchants.

[aeonknight86]

@james2667 Honestly I leveled as retribution first then went protection at level 40 because I was able to get the holy shield talent ability for protection but this was when Burning Crusade was the latest expansion.

1. I would level Protection still because you can queue as a tank for random dungeons which gives you good experience & it also provides more survivability when leveling through quests. I've also had a friend level his paladin as Holy. It ultimately depends on your playing style.
