You should keep in mind that sets will change according to each fight. Q: What Set Pieces to Use? Personally I only recommend a 2 piece for most of the fights. And those pieces would be gloves and chest piece. Your stats cap will be reached faster with those same off-pieces than with the tier.

Gameplay tip for those new to tanking: Don't rely on taunts as part of your rotation to maintain aggro on mobs. Taunts should be considered as a last resort, not a crutch.

If struggling with holding aggro, consider improving your threat generation. The diagram below illustrates how Righteous Defense can be used as a cast on allies, or as a cast on enemies to maximize its effectiveness:. Devotion Aura provides a significant amount of armor to the players in the group.

This aura is highly recommended to be used in heroic dungeons and raids, especially when starting out, in order to maximize physical damage mitigation from armor. For max rank Devotion Aura , this effectively increases the armor provided from armor to armor.

Also useful for surviving fire breaths from Nazan in Heroic Hellfire Ramparts. However, this ability is easily replaceable by the Priest spell Prayer of Shadow Protection. Concentration Aura has few if any uses for Paladin tanks, as this is an aura primarily intended to reduce spell pushback on healers and casters.

The majority of Paladin tank talent builds will not include this talent as it requires specializing deep into the Retribution tree, so a Retribution Paladin will typically have to be in your group to provide this aura.

Greater Blessing of Kings is a powerful buff for all classes and roles due to the stat multiplier effect. This buff is primarily recommended for tanks are the additional stamina and agility can significantly improve survivability. Greater Blessing of Salvation reduces the threat generation by your allies, which makes a huge difference in allowing tanks being able to keep up on maintaining aggro. This buff is primarily recommended for damage dealers DPS , and even healers in some cases, as healers can generate massive amounts of threat, especially in heroic dungeons.
