You look like you're very familiar with tanking, everything looks really good, only thing that you could really replace is better gear :p

@Dwov, a bit low on the block side

for so far as i know i don't have that avoidance cap.
My dodge is a lower then my parry, but can't see to rise so my parry becomes lower then dodge.

I think i don't need to say to you that you are still lacking enchants

besides that try to get more dodge and parry and lower your block.

and vortex is crap if you are already at CTC.

this is my advice

now it's time for me to hear the critics ^^

You can try to get the Shield from Warmaster and buy the Neck from Vp Points. Then you should be unbuffed at ctc cap atm youre missing about ~1%. If youre capped then you can switch your Chest and Wrist Enchant for Stamina.



edit: Again Ive not been lucky in lfr/Ds with Chest Token....

I would change a few gems to become a bit more stamina heavy - not much but some.
Your CTC sits around 103,84 % - so you have some room to shift around.

And start transmogrifing your gear :-)

Just a clarification. I'm already at CTC.

Remenber that BoK and Agi+Str buffs give some stats too.

So buffed only (no need for food actually) i'm with 102.41% ^^

Plus i know i'm still missing the shield and neck, but no luck on shield drop and for the neck i'm still missing 50 (><!?!?!?) Valors

To Galant: Way too much parry (even more if you think what you gain form buffs) Try to put some dodge in it. plus since i'm at work I'm not able to do the full check however try to lower your mastery a little for dodge if you are already at CTC. Just like I said in the reply above remenber to take the raid buffs in acount speccialy BoK and Battleshout/Strengh of the Earth totem/Cat buff (Agi+Str buff)

Wish i had your HP, but since i prefer to have my stats balanced with expertise cap (14 base + 10 from glyph aand a little more from food) i'm sitting only at 199.2K with BoK (self buff).

@Galant You're a bit above CtC unbuffed, so you should swap some mastery gems with stam ones, till you're CtC capped with raid buffs (kings, battle shout). Try to get 4set bonus since i see you haven't done madness yet, and raid cds are REALLY needed in Madness. About talents, i don't think you'll need the extra point in Hallowed Ground, so put it somewhere more usefull. There are also some optimizations that could be done about survivability (taking eternal glory), as i see your build is mainly focused on threat and dps.

As for me, yeah i know dodge and parry ratio are crap >.> and i find using 2stam trinkets better than using the VP mastery one (not a big boost for me). I also have a 2nd swordshattering weapon in bags, that i swap to when needed (3rd platform at madness etc).

Let's see what you guys think about me ^^

I'll review Deathmourne, Enchant the cloak you have with 250 armor - And the rest of your gear is fine.

I'd reforge the expertise away instead of parry/dodge. You'll get a bit less mastery but gain some avoidance in the progress.
Greater mastery on gloves, ditch mining for engineering. Swordshattering on weapon, I don't understand the latest trend since math says SS provides more mitigation.

Points out of Morbidity/Virulence and into Butchery and Improved BT. Maybe also out of Crimson Scourge and take Lichbourne but that's dependant on content.

AMS-glyph instead of DRW.

Otherwise looking pretty solid.

I'm a little confused why your reforging to haste on your ring and hit on your belt. They also seem gemmed for dps so I am guessing you need tank gear to fill those slots, good luck on getting those drop!

Seem sorted on of your other pieces.

i'm not so familar with drood tanks but i will give it a try

Your gear is not the best but that will come with the time. You have reforged stuff to dodge and keep doing it. try skip the expertise and make it dodge instead. About mastery i dont know either so soz for it.

edit: i might be in holy gear when u see it but i will try being in tank gear

@Zaxvert.

Overall it looks pretty decent, not quite at the CTC cap (unless you maybe use mastery food + elixir), so thats probably something you should continue to aim for. You will reach it already with procs/uses of trinkets etc. but I'd prefer to get a passive CTC cap.

As for talents, not having Divine Guardian is a big no-no. It's a great cooldown, certainly in
raids and should be standard for every paladin tank.

Apart from that it's looking nice, keep it up.

Get rid of soulshifter vortex and get fire of the deep instead. To negate the extra avoidance you get from that, gem for more stamina.

Also get 4pc bonus, there's no reason to get crafted legs instead of the tier piece.

You could also run a FL HC raid and upagrade that scales of life trinket until you get indominable pride (which I'm assuming you're waiting for, like me).

Overall you're doing very well, the only semi-serious problem I see is that trinket with the useless proc.

Nothing to really point out, everything looks alright. Only thing I could say is that I am not a big fan of Souldrinker, but that comes with me not liking proc-related <anything> when it comes to tanking; had I been in your place, I would probably try to get heroic Mandible of Beth'tilac, but it's about personal prefference.
The only thing that comes to mind would be getting some speed-up, either from enchant on your boots or through Pursuit of Justice, but that's it.

Now, when it comes to me... Don't tear me to shreds, pretty please. x) I am aware of high avoidance that I sport; it's due to the fact that I can't be certain of really anything, since my group runs only 10mans and we don't have a stable raid composition. Also, heroic modes are out of the question, therefore HM gear is as well.
