are you retarded? YES A PALADIN CAN TANK! they can use plate, shields, and have the protection spec. They can kill several guys with consecrate. they have bubbles that stop all attacking. SO YES RETARD WHO MADE THIS VID, A PALADIN CAN TANK!

The video was made shortly after we hit 70. Having played only horde we were only coming to grips with Paladins as tanks. Thus the video.

Now run along troll.

if the tank dies its the healers fault

if the healer dies its the tanks fault

if the dps dies its the dps's fault

my prot pally owns the living fuck out of rogues, warriors, feral druids and hunters(sometimes). rogues practially kill themselves while trying to hurt me :P

Back then, Pallys were alright to tank. Now a days if you are spec'd right, then tanking should be a breeze most of the time for you. :D I'm a lvl 74 ret pally, and I do alright against almost,notice almost, anything. :P

Guys you do need to keep in mind that this was in 2007 where pallies had less aggro abilities back then

I'm new to wow and just have a question, is tanking as a pala more difficult then with a warrior?

The three simple rules :)

Funny how little people know them.

@unskinnysideshowbob

Yes he is a troll. But still, from 1-60, you paladins could tank. You should know this, because paladins and alliance v horde had some good fights during the Blackrock Spire capping back in the old days :)

[Rickynator120]

Same with Allies VS Horde, just depend on if you're walking ALONE or with your group, if you're walking alone and there's 3 enemy's spotting you dont think they will ignore you or go 1 on 1... that's just not tactical.

I roll a Paladin, lvl 70... Retri... (3.2).. I heal, dps and tank....Retri = Ez-mode.. 1200-1400 average Dps, wo. money-buffs.. As healer 800-900 +SpellPower, and 1000+ Mp5, 9-10k mana... Tank = Hardest, 10k Hp, NO agroloss...lol... Only lack, is the insane +block as Prot.. All u need, is ask to loot for some Heal gear, and get a decent shield.. As long as (some) of the other toons know what they are doing.. Retri = Ez-mode for sure :) It's my main.. No BoA, not pricey enchants or AH equip..
