"Many Protection Paladins voiced their disagreement with my recent post to Hybrid Theory, my weekly column on Hybrid classes. The complaints were many, and the flames burned bright. wow honor leveling Thus, I'll clarify my stance a little more. Oh, and the title up there. It's a joke. Seriously. First off, let me say that my recent Hybrid Theory had a lot of sardonic, cynical little jokes. In all seriousness, I would not tell a Balance Druid that I raid with to ""go be useful and Moonfire spam something."" I don't think that you're viable Main Tanks for a progression oriented 25-man raid, but if you can have fun with something and your raid will actually let you do it, more power to you. wow level service That doesn't mean you should advertise yourself as a tank when applying to a raid group, but there you go. As far as Protection Paladins go, I believe my stance is not wrong, but I overstated the extremity of the situation. No, Protection Paladins are not only brought along on raids to cheer in the background waving pompoms. I did not mean to say Protection Paladins absolutely cannot tank bosses like Lady Vashj or Kael'thas. My intent was to say that in most raids and situations, a Protection Warrior or Feral Druid(not for Kael, obviously) will be top priority. Protection Paladins obviously can tank things, and I love to see them do it. wow lvl service A Protection Paladin tanking Illidan is awesome. Most raids, though, will look to the Warriors first. Not due to the inability to tank it, or even a gear hump. The lack of safety net on-demand survival tools is, in my opinion, the biggest issue with paladins as Main Tanks in a ""post-2.3 world,"" as it was described to me yesterday afternoon. Can Protection Paladins tank.
Yes. Can Protection Paladins tank well. wow gold Yes, many people have proven this. Will they be looked to as the first choice in most situations. Unfortunately, no. wow power leveling That shouldn't stop you, though, and I never meant to imply that it should. I may have let my wry cynicism run away with me, and I apologize for letting it paint my words in a poorer light than I had planned. My stance remains that it probably will take some work for you to find a raid slot, but that doesn't mean you should not look. It also doesn't mean you'll be doing exclusively 'junk' jobs like trash packs. You have a hurdle to jump over, and you'll need to prove how capable you are to a raid. " .
