I’m such a Noob…I love playing my original toon the warrior, and I love playing prot. The clanking, the stomping, the shield slams! I love pulling huge packs in the new zone and having fin. But get this…I never tank any dungeons or raids lol. I hate doing those, I just don’t do them. Mostly because of the Numbskulls in the groups, but out in the zones….oh hell I have so much fun! I want to do that next with a monk! The druid I do on occasion, but I have such a good time playing feral cat, that I just stick to it. It is a lot of to play,!
Can you elaborate on devastator? I don't think it competes with Punish in raids. There are plenty of empty GCD when you choose devastator and you give up on the 3% dmg reduction of punish.
Devastator results in substantially more Shield Slam resets due to passively getting them from autoattacks. Those Shield Slam resets increase your Rage generation and damage. They also synergize with your final-tier talent, either granting more damage and Shield Block uptime when you need it if specced into Heavy Repercussions, or more Rage to fuel Anger Management. Since a lot of that Rage can be spent via Ignore Pain, Devastator is a much, much, much stronger and more versatile defensive bonus than the small, ST-only DR bonus offered by Punish. Punish is also about an 8% DPS loss compared to Devastator.
@@g0dzilla_au Having pushed it to 3k this season, Pally is definitely very strong & fun to play. But aesthetically? Oh yeah, it's extremely corny. Hand of the Light's Divine Judgment of the Protector. Boom, that's every single Paladin ability all at once. Make it glow yellow and you're all set.
It's mostly the tier set and weapon from Mythic Blackrock Foundry, and the shield is from Mythic Highmaul. The helm, which doesn't really match, but does look neat, is the Jewel of the Firelord. It used to be in the Blizzard Shop, but they removed it a few years ago. They've teased the possibility of bringing it back, but haven't said anything concrete yet.
My DPS is abysmall. The other tank passively pulls aggro. I am prot warrior 245 and I did 2,211.3 DPS on Halondrus My friend is bear 247 and did 4,665.7 DPS on the same kill Send help.
There are a few things you can do to boost your threat. Be sure to make full use of Reprisal's Charge and Intercept cooldowns so that you can get more Rage generation, Shield Block uptime, and free Revenge casts. Taunt is a 200% threat increase for the 3 seconds it's active, so be sure to hit the boss with a big chunk of damage when you taunt. Using your primary damaging skills on cooldown is important. You never want to let Shield Slam or Thunder Clap sit unused for long, and getting as many casts of Avatar, Spear of Bastion (or other Covenant Ability), and Demoralizing Shout as you can each encounter is huge for maximizing your damage. Beyond that, just maintain Shield Block, and try to gauge whether to spend your Rage on Ignore Pain or Revenge/Execute by how much damage you are taking. If you're getting slammed, Ignore Pain. If you're fine, or not currently tanking: Revenge/Execute.

Thanks for the info!
You're welcome!
I just love necro lord buffing
Yeah, it's pretty nice!
I'm sad they killed necrolord warrior before we got a chance to use it on live.
Prot Necro Warrior was untouched.
Wait...your name is Larold? Like, Harold with an L?
That's right
