Hey,

I'm not good at making posts so hope you understand it anyway :p I have two questions..

Is it possible for a paladin to get uncrushable with pre-kara gear?

and why does ppl dont like prot paladins as tanks? I've been refused to tank kara only cuz ppl dont think we're able to do a good job :s

Read the sticky at top of the forum by Thelsdeskwant, should cover uncrushable.

As for Paladin tanking, well a lot of people honestly don't know better. However when it comes to the trash in Kara Prot Pallies are the best tanks for the job. Of course if you don't have the gear for it you are useless no matter if you are war/druid/pally.

Care to link your armory? Or just post char name/server

ohh sry, totally forgot the link :p http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Darksorrow&n=Regnis

I know I need some more HP but it is general I hear the paldins cant tank in raids, and it really **** me off, but then I start think "well.. it's their problem, not mine"..

I am getting close to being uncrushable and all but one piece of my gear is pre kara.

On the topic of people not liking pally tanks, my guild prefers pally tanks in kara. On the boss fights we go with the warrior tank just for the fact the he is alot better geared right now. So just keep looking there are groups out there that do like pally tanks.

My guild prefers pali tanks as it would seem as well. Not sure how much different each one is as I am usually on healer protection duty =D

such is life as a hunter I suppose

I didn't get uncrushable until I started getting Kara gear, but yes it is possible. The afore mentioned sticky has all the gear you'll need, though (if I remember correctly) some of it is Arena gear.

The only arena gear was for the hammer/shield for the stamina and spelldamage and armor, none of which apply to getting uncrushable.

You can get uncrushable pre-kara. Following Thels' guide is a good place to start. I have 0 kara items and I'm uncrushable.

I was holy for like a week, but I couldn't stop that tanking call.

dunno if its just me that sux at math but I only get your avoidiance to 87.32% and that mean you need like 15% to get uncrushable? (block+parry+dodge+holy shield) or am I calculating wrong?
#12 Oct 12 2007 at 3:22 PM Rating: Decent
you need to factor in miss chance (10.6%), I also don't have my Libram of Repentance equipped (~5.3% added to Holy Shield)

People need to get out of the idea that gear is everything and what gets you through raids. Gear and character class are a part of it, but teamwork is what really makes raids a success or not, especially in Outland. Very few bosses are tank and spank and even the best geared tank will die if the raid dont work well as a team.

If a tank is not uncrush/uncirttable, you still won't progress. Yes teamwork is important, but inappropriate gear will still kill a raid. Mini-rant off.

Yeah, teamwork isn't going to get you through those 8k crits or 6k crushes (repeatedly).
