hello all.
As an introduction I re-rolled a Pally (My 1st pally) the week before Xmas on a PVP server. I have a 70 warrior Tank on a PVE server that I've been playing for just over 2 years.
This is my first re-roll.
Now, I have read all the guides and stickies here and know what my roll is going to be, i feel i know what i need to know about the pally to get me going when I reach end game (Holy Pally FTW!!)
My current goal is just to level efficiently.
At the moment I have a cookie cutter Ret leveling build and AH gear that complements that build. I'm doing just fine.
My new pally is quickly approaching level 35 and from what I am reading from the posts here is that Prot leveling is just as good as Ret leveling; so i'm intrigued and want to give it a go.
I know what spec I want, thats not really my question.
What I really want to know is what gear should I concentrate on leveling as a prot pally?
Should I go for Ret gear so I hit (melee) harder?
or stack defense / stam (like a good tank should) and just take a beating?
(Does my weapon DPS even come into play grinding / leveling this way?)
Honestly, I don't care to go to any instances below Ramparts, and even then i don't want to tank as a pally (only if i really have to) my goal for this character is a healer so when I decide to instance post 60 I plan on a respec and swapping to a heal set to ...well... heal... (but I dont want to level as holy):P
So thats it, my first pally post.
I hope it dont hurt to bad.
