All I can do is apologise, basically - the note is still there and I'll poke our team. Hopefully we can get this resolved! :)

Can someone please update the stat priority section with some more clarification for where stamina falls in the priority sequence, and also where strength is in the sequence?

The section mentions that stamina is indeed important, perhaps more important for Protection Paladins than some other tanks, and yes, there are plenty of calculators/simulators around, but I'd like to get the info from Icy Veins rather than rely on a calculator. Ideally, I'd like to see a Pawn string that includes stamina and strength, and which, afterwards, I can tweak or change based on simulations for my specific character. However, I don't want to do this relying solely on the calculations; I want to depend on a mix of those calculations and Icy Veins' common sense and experience.

Thank you.

I'm currently using the  Chain of ThraynChain of Thrayn  with the holy legendary ring  Ilterendi, Crown Jewel of SilvermoonIlterendi, Crown Jewel of Silvermoon. I'd say the ring is an extremely viable choice IF you are lucky enough to have it since it requires holy loot spec in order to be obtained. It provides a sustained 20% healing increase with everything, and it's uptime is 100% taking into account you use Judgment shortly after it's available. I'd say close to or pretty much on par with  Saruan's ResolveSaruan's Resolve  due to it's uptime. ^.^

*sigh* Just coming here to check gear, most notably trinkets, and it's really sad to see this neglected like this.

Honestly at this point I'd simply say to focus on next tier and upgraded gear from broken shore and tomb if there's going to be an upgrade, 7.15 is going to be outdated in several ways as soon as Tuesday hits, what with the legendary changes and the new loot from world bosses, artifact changes etc.

That's something that, unfortunately, even with updates just won't appear - pawn strings for tanks suck. Honestly. If you had a way to calculate weights for a character on every single fight in the game, you would have a different weight for every single fight, simply because damage intake is never the exact same. 

As for str/stamina, it's kind of making a decision based on the content you are doing, as well as your healers. If you imagine 3 tanks, each of them have the following stats:

  • 2.5M HP, takes 500K damage per second.
  • 4M HP, takes 800K damage per second.
  • 5M HP, takes 1M damage per second.

In this scenario, the damage is perfectly normalised. There is a specific amount of damage coming every second, and due to this, each tank dies at the same rate, if they have no healing: 5 seconds.

Now let's take a scenario where the average damage taken over a period of 30 seconds is exactly as listed above: 500K, 800K and 1M respectively. The difference now is, there are bursts of damage. There are periods where no damage is coming in except a small ticking dot, while there are other periods where they are taking upwards of 2-4M damage per second.

At this point, the lower HP tank might find themselves dropping closer to death due to relying too much on their secondary stats. They don't have a big enough base stamina pool to simply survive the burst when they don't have an AM/cooldown to use, meaning healers have to use externals to keep them alive. This is the kind of thing that might happen to an undergeared tank, or someone that sacrifices huge item level upgrades to stay with H/V gear.

Hopefully this kind of explains what I mean? The stamina requirement is simply based on what you need. Find out what healers are comfortable with, if you are constantly getting oneshot, there is an issue and you need more stamina.

Do you by any chance have a log of you using the ring? I'd love to take a look.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

There's a typo in food recommendation. Both Hearty and Lavish Suramar feasts grant stamina instead of strength (+600 and +750 respectively), checked yesterday.

Hey, just wondering if you guys plan on changing the artifact path after blessed stalwart got nerfed to 8% a few days into 7.2. I'm 3/4 on holy aegis, but I'm not sure if I should continue up to blessed stalwart now or invest in getting 4/4 unflinching defense, scatter the shadows, and righteous crusader. Thanks!

I believe you still go for Blessed Stalwart, regardless of the nerf.

The stat priority section doesn't mention Strength. Where does it fit in with secondaries? I know that might sound like a stupid question, but there's at least one other spec in the game for which the primary stat is not the highest priority (Vengeance Demon Hunter).

It would most likely sit around the middle, perhaps around a similar weight to Mastery.

Hi, I rolled a Paladin Tank about a week ago, maybe 1,5 .. either way... the artifact path you show here (and on other websites) looks different than mine.. see screenshot.

Maybe I am overlooking something... But It I thought the four extra traits would unlock at lvl 35.

You have to start the new questline introduced in 7.2. Head to Broken Isles and speak to Khadgar, he'll give you a quest after you've done the quest for AK 26.

Can someone put up Haste cap or something on the Stats guide.  I am aiming for 30% haste then the rest come based on gear ilvl.  From what I've seen for other Prot Pallies, They stack mastery a lot more than haste.  Please advise the break point so I can gear accordingly.  Thanks.

      With a minor 10.2.7 fix we move right into the Remix stuff, as there's improvements to rare elite respawn and treasure, quests, dungeons and the open world. We also have Cataclysm Classic fixes, as honor vendors return, the high level PvP gear gets downgraded, quests get improved and more.

Fixed an issue causing Wise Mari in the Temple of the Jade Serpent to not spawn Corrupt Living Water as intended. Hutia was out of control in the Jade Forest, and has been convinced to relax a bit and stop hitting so hard. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed a bug preventing Diabolical Plans from dropping in Ashenvale for Horde players wanting to do “Never Again”.

      We have a lot more changes coming in to Remix today, starting with cloak thread rewards being added to most repeatable activities! Then there's the announced tuning for enemy damage and HP, gems and more, as well as some additional class adjustments over in Cataclysm Classic
      May 21 (Source)
      WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
      We have made the following changes to improve Thread of Time gain for the Cloak of Infinite Potential. Our goal with these additional items is to give players access to more Threads of Time from daily repeatable sources. These should serve as readily attainable power-ups from a wide variety of content, so players can enjoy the breadth of Pandaria while also gaining additional power. There are four new items that grant players escalating amounts of power for the Cloak of Infinite Potential: Minor Spool of Eternal Thread Lesser Spool of Eternal Thread Spool of Eternal Thread Greater Spool of Eternal Thread Players will be able to find these new items from a variety of solo and group sources, ensuring all players have accessible ways to improve their cloak: Infinite Bazaar Repeatable Dailies First-Time Daily Scenario, Dungeon, and each LFR queue World Bosses Remix Achievements Each of these achievements are available for additional characters to complete as well for bonus Bronze - and now bonus Spools of Eternal Thread. Troves of the Thunder King scenario on the Isle of Thunder We’ve made the following changes and bugfixes are intended to address concerns about the balance of low- and high-level players in various Remix content. The health of creatures in heroic scenarios has been decreased by 20% - 25%, based on the players’ levels. Higher level players will see enemies incur a larger decrease. The health and damage of creatures on the Timeless Isle, Isle of Giants, and Isle of Thunder has been reduced. Several spell gems (that were not scaling up or down correctly based on player level) have been adjusted so that they provide a more-appropriate scaling effect. This includes Cold Front, Windweaver, Vampiric Aura, and Lightning Rod. Spell gems with shielding effects should no longer cause threat. Fixed a bug with Righteous Frenzy not canceling upon the end of combat. Timerunner’s Vial mana regen significantly increased. Adjusted the reputation granted from Granite Quilen to be more in line with expected values. Fixed an issue in Guo-Lai Halls causing trap tiles to flicker.

Hunter Hunter traps are now faster and more consistent in their arming times. Shaman Fixed an issue with Shaman Greater Fire Elemental dealing too much damage with its Fire Nova spell. Warrior Fixed an issue preventing Slam from being logged properly in the combat log.

      It's official! We've seen the datamining already, but it wasn't clear what the intention was - but now we have official confirmation. Story Difficulty is coming to the Nerub'ar Palace in the War Within! 
      Players will be able to face off against the final boss of the first raid of the expansion in groups of 1 to 5, with reduced mechanics and a greater focus on the narrative. This option will become available when the final LFR wing opens up and will be repeatable. No word on whether there will be any loot involved, but it seems unlikely (aside from quest rewards). We also didn't get any explanations on whether this is a one-time thing or whether this will stay as a staple for future raids as well.
      Story Difficulty (Source)
      Hello!
      As mentioned in the article above, we’ve been working on a new raid experience for The War Within called Story difficulty.
      Throughout World of Warcraft’s history, many of the most epic moments in our stories have been told in dungeons and raids. With the recent introduction of Follower Dungeons, we’ve been experimenting with new ways for players to see those stories, especially for those who may not feel comfortable playing within the social expectations of group environments.
      With Story difficulty in Nerub-ar Palace, our goal is to offer players a way to see the epic conclusion of Azj-Kahet’s story who may not see the end to that story otherwise. This difficulty is intended for a private party of 1-5 players and will allow players to face off against Queen Ansurek without the assistance of other players or Followers. This encounter features reduced combat complexity and difficulty, instead focusing on the narrative elements of the encounter. Story difficulty is intended to be experienced as a one-time chapter in the game’s story, but is repeatable for players who want to revisit that part of the adventure.
      We currently plan to release this experience alongside the final wing of Looking For Raid difficulty, for players who’ve reached the appropriate point in the questing experience of The War Within. We’d love to hear your feedback on this feature once it’s released.

      To make it easier for everyone to upgrade their cloak in MoP Remix, Blizzard added new "threads" as rewards from various solo and group activities.
      (Source)
      New! Get Wound Up in Spools of Eternal Threads
      Players can now increase their thread count with four new items that grant escalating amounts of power for the Cloak of Infinite Potential.
      Minor Spool of Eternal Thread (Grants 20 Threads) Lesser Spool of Eternal Thread (Grants 50 Threads) Spool of Eternal Thread (Grants 100 Threads) Greater Spool of Eternal Thread (Grants 180 Threads (it’s percale!)) Please note that not all Spool of Eternal Thread sources change in quality based on the character’s level. Group finder bonuses and Infinite Bazaar daily quests increase in quality as a character levels. Achievements will always provide a spool that is equal in quality to the Bronze Cache it rewards, regardless of character level. When a Spool grants Stamina, the value is doubled.
      These items can be earned and collected through a variety of solo and group activities including:
      Infinite Bazaar Repeatable Daily Quests First-Time Daily Scenario, Dungeon Finder dungeons, and each Raid Finder queue World Bosses Remix Achievements Troves of the Thunder King scenario on the Isle of Thunder. Remix Achievements are also available for additional characters to complete for bonus Bronze and bonus Spools of Eternal Thread.

      There’s some pretty great final boss death cinematics out there in the many raids of WoW, but have you seen them all? Do you know what the very first one was? Well, Athelarius has got your back and the answers! He made a great compilation of all final boss deaths in honor of 20 years of WoW.
      Starting all the way back in 2007 and the Burning Crusade, when the first final boss defeat cinematic was created. The fall of Illidan the Betrayer was pretty amazing, for me especially, since I was one of the first 20 people in the world to see it! Well, outside of Blizzard’s offices at least.. We go all the way through Arthas, Garrosh, Gul'dan, and finally up to the last/current cinematic, Fyrakk’s Death, which is already 6 months old!
      It’s a pretty interesting thing to see all of them put together, as it charts the progress of the cinematics team and just how good these have gotten over the years. Let’s take a look.
