Stamina stacking as prot pally?

[Drimat]

Hey so gearing my 60 pala mainly for dungs and maybe some raiding if i ever find a group and have the time. Curious if stamina stacking is the way to go or should i go vers? Also is there a soft cap i should hot on haste or crit i should try to get? Mainly going for being as defence and tanky as possible, with good health pool, not too bothered about damage

Any help is greatly appreciated

So if you plan to tank raids remember that stamina is just padding for hard hitting boss mechanics and not usually required to stack. Vers is usually best for twinking 60 content such much of the content required resistances and is all magic damage, and your only mitigation vs magic damage is vers.

I shall try vers stacking, ive made a set to aim towards with vers as main priority and gem gear for even more vers.
Thanks for the info.

Bit off topic, is TF worth it for tanking or not?

TF is still a really good tank weapon at 60. The aoe damage is nice for holding aggro on large pack pulls when you have other twinks or geared dps going ham. If aggro isn’t an issue for you, wraith scythe will be bis for paladins. It scales with SP, and will continuously feed your tankadin with heals.

I was curious of wraith scythe, wasnt sure if it did heal, been looking at https://www.wowhead.com/item=11086/jangthraze-the-protector

I have a complete Stamina set on my DK, with no perticular reason more then just being curious how much HP i could get as blood, pre 8.1 i had 20,7k HP unbuffed and now currently the same setup gives me 18.1k :-(

Thats pretty cool, im tempted to do a stam set aswell just to see how high i can get

Yeah it is pretty fun to FC BGs with a stamina set, for a short moment in a WSG with Bone Shield and Vampiric Blood (and probably smth else) i had 33k HP which for the 60-69 bracket is just insane imo.

Works well, but vers stacking does as well.

I’d recommend vers stacking tbh if your going to go prot

Currently farming gear for max vers, sitting at 8% but long way to go on gear

Im sitting at 20% but I feel like I lack in other departments. Stacking isn’t the best route, but make sure any slot that it is dominant in, you pick that piece. Like boss Shoulders, neck because it has self heal, and like vers boas trinks and stuff

Im trying not to use any boas, i currently use https://www.wowhead.com/item=151074/turnkeys-pauldrons and for my neck im using https://www.wowhead.com/item=88273/armsmasters-sealed-locket (28 vers at 60)

Ive gone through the raid/dungeon journal and found most things with highest vers stat apart from gear that can be gemmed from tbc dungs and helm from quest as dont have engi for goggles.
Ideally i want 10k health at least with good vers
[doublepost=1545145868,1545145692][/doublepost]This is what im like at the moment, still gearing but dont have many issues in dungs so far except maraudon slimes, i hate those.

Helm from quest, chest, gloves, belt, legs and boots from tbc dungeons. May be others but those are what i know about

Can use the rings from HFP towers but they are not that good now after gem nerfs. Still best way to get max Stam though probably.

Not sure what your self imposed requirements are, but some easy improvements are engineering trinkets, you can get sonic booster/poultyizer for best overall leaning towards stam, or double poultryizer for max stam.

Lifesteal weapon and Skullflame shield are great for pally since they benefit from spellpower.

Sockets are available for a number of your other slots.

I have no interest in engineering, got mining for money and blacksmith as ive never had it before and now i have a fair few cool recipes.

Im aiming to get skullflame shield but last time was on ah it was selling for 130k+, i have about 7k right now, stuff isnt selling and keep getting undercut on more expensive things.
Im looking at https://www.wowhead.com/item=11086/jangthraze-the-protector for weapon, curious if will scale with sp or int. If not very good il use wraith scythe or thunderfury if i can get hold of it.

My only self imposed requirement would be no engi and i want high vers with decent health.

Jangthraze doesn't scale, and 10k HP with Vers stack is certainly possible, though more difficult without engi
