RIP to Pally Tanks - Blue Tracker

#0 - Dec. 10, 2008, 4:22 a.m.

I was wondering why Blizz has pretty much removed pallies from the tanking class ? Although Prot still exists as a talent tree there is not one piece of prot spec pally gear in the expansion. I will miss being able to pull huge mobs and holding the agro as the mage/lock/boomkin AoE's them down. any comments on why Blizz has gone down this line ?

Many Protection Paladin abilities now scale off of attack power. Additionally, there is a talent in Prot that adds up to 30% of your stamina to your spell power pool. Prot Pallies are alive and kicking!

I've seen people ruminating about this very issue in-game.
