[Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0

I don't think people should prioritize BiS gear right now, getting i90 over i70 is an upgrade in itself. Priorities should be reaching accuracy cap/ilvl 90 gear, if it happens to be that you get BiS gear then awesome, however if you get the allagan chestpiece on turn 1 in your first run there's no need for the valor chestpiece. Plus you might aswell get the valor coronet due t it being a huge upgrade over i60 (and allagan not dropping til turn5). Overhitting the accuracy cap isn't great however having extra accuracy is much better than not having enough. You miss out on small amounts of parry/determination for this accuracy. While it's not optimal, the str/vit on each piece of gear definitely is.

Edit: Best vit food is Sauteed Coeurl atm. Which I'd say is much better than HQ La Noscean toast.

I don't see a reason not to be extremely precise and conservative with your myth purchases. If you have an item that is not i90 and it is a myth slot as specified in the table and your focus is to maximize parry there is absolutely no reason to not buy it. The only situation someone may run into that would contradict this is if they get alagan legs. At that point they have to come up with their own shopping list and optimize gear on their own.

Allagan body/legs drop? Pass them off on the other tank in exchange for priroity on next drop, cus they're trash :P Esepcially the legs.

That said, valor boots and allagan leggins isn't *horrible.*

As to why people might want to go BiS... coil drops and myth stones are massive time investments. It would suck to get the point where you are full ilvl90 and look back and realize you could be that much better if you had just shown a litlte more <foresight>.

OP also has a good point. As much as I love my paladin, once I've bought all he BiS items on pld, I want to +1 my Omnilex rather than continue investing such a finite resource in sup-optimal gear.
