stam stam and more stamFollow

So I decided to spend the money and actually enchant all my prot gear and I think with talents it puts me over 1000 stam. I'm not going to enchant my head just because I really would like to find something better than D3. But when I got to my weapon I decided that I'd see what ya'll thought. Would it be better to enchant my crystalforged sword, or farm mech for the mana wrath. I don't really need the crystalforged's shield block anymore and the mana wrath has a chunk more int. The season 1 spell damage mace doesn't interest me in the slightest (I don't pvp more than I HAVE to, and yes you have to pvp for Hyjal).

Since you already have a Crystalforged Sword I personally wouldn't bother trying to get any other blue weapon, and if the Season 1 mace is out of the question, I'd stick with CFS and enchant that. Unless you run ZA and can get the mace from Akil'zon which is what I'm after right now. Has the same Stamina as CFS but has 96 more spell damage and some spell hit. Again me personally I don't think it's worth putting the effort into something else unless it's going to be, literally, epicly better.

I'd say that's fine. My mana pool is at about 4.5k if I recall. Pally tanks don't need any Int or mana regen. You'll get all the mana you need from your healer. Heals from others = your mana pool. =)

i love that mace on my holy pally for solo'ing. however for tanking its too slow. it'll take 12+ seconds to get a 5 stack of vengeance as opposed to 8 seconds with a faster weapon. it'll also make it tougher to keep seals up on multiple targets solo'ing. i'd stick with a faster weapon for tanking...

I wish I could show ya'll my prot set, but I have my closetgnome (best addon name in the world) set to always log out in my healing gear, since that's my main spec. There used to be a site that let you save your char with different gear sets, that's my only regret of having everyone go to armory.

at least the sun eater didn't drop and yer guild's warriors didn't hate you for a week because they passed on an instance. :)

Ran with a Lock buddy of mine and it dropped. I didn't want it, so he took it and enchanted it with Mongoose. Now he taunts everyone by equipping it in Shatt.

I put Beastslaying on mine. Drives a tank friend of mine crazy everytime he sees it ^_^

In general when you're outgearing the content you're tanking, the use mana->build threat->take damage->get heal->recover mana cycle becomes less efficient (because you take less damage and hence get less mana back).
I've started looking for +int rings to replace my mitigation rings when I'm outgearing stuff, looks like a better trade-off than simply removing my pants (and getting snarky comments from the rest of the members, reminds me of the Subligar Man).
