Respeccing...sorta kinda

[sacha]

Well, after much thinking and talking it over with some officers i had (yes past tense) decided to go prot, but hey, I like healing.

I've done a thorough gear check and i need to tweak some stuff, get some drops and badge stuff but otherwise I am available to tank if the raid needs it.

I am also always available to patch peeps who've had a nasty encounter with vicious snakemen, devious demons or other nasties and gribblies.

This is the build I consider for tanking

2 points out of stoicism and in imp judgement, aside from that it's the cookie cutter prot paladin build.

Another cookie cutter paladin build is where you move 2 points out of spell warding and 1 out of kings and put those in Isotc. You get less spell dmg reduction, but usually the heavy caster mobs are tanked by warriors anyway, and you lose kings but for pure raiding holy paladins nearly always have kings, you gain a bit of raid viability though by being able to judge bosses with sotc after your tanked add has died (hydross, morogrim, karathress, vashj, solarian, kael are the bosses in ssc where that's very viable.

If you're going for a serious boss tanking build i'd go for the one you posted except with imp judgement, if you're going for an offtank/hyjal build i'd consider getting ISotC

Thank you this is useful information indeed.

Well to clarify: I like healing :),

However IF we need a pally tonk for an encounter I'm offering my services, this means, yeah, i'm holy but I'll take one for the team if needed i.e. respeccing for the night.
