Paladin Tank questions
What is the best weapon for a level 30 Paladin Tank in WoW Forever?
Crested Scepter. The top pick comes from Trash mobs, Blackfathom Deeps (0.03% in Classic).
Which stats matter most for a level 30 Paladin Tank?
Stamina first, then spell power, Intellect and block, then Defense and Agility. Spell power and Intellect are for threat: in Forever a paladin's threat is Holy damage, and Intellect pays for Consecration.
What talents does a Paladin Tank use at level 30?
Protection tank, 0/23/3 at level 30 with Talented: Redoubt 5/5, Guardian's Favor 2/2, Anticipation 5/5, Improved Seal of Fury 1/1, Improved Righteous Fury 3/3, Shield Specialization 3/3, Sacred Duty 2/2, Swift Judgement 1/1, Templar's Bulwark 1/1, Deflection 3/5.
How much health does a level 30 Paladin have in this gear?
A Human Paladin has 2136 health and 2717 armor with 1172 mana; a Undead Paladin has 2136 health and 2688 armor with 1097 mana. That is Classic's level 30 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Rankings within a slot are best first for level 30. Random-suffix items use the named variant's stats and link to the underlying item; check the full name when buying. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
