Thread: Paladin 2.4 BiS?

T12 - 547
T13 - 558

I had a miss every 3rd attempt (on average) in T13 at 557. After 16 hours of T13 I didn't miss once at 558.

No matter what anyone tells you about Parry or DPS gear, always listen to your healers. The best advice I have read on here came from 1 healer and he mentioned something along these lines:

"No matter the end, we either look out for BIG damage (WHM) or preemptively wait out damage (SCH).
I'd rather see our tanks doing a small amount of additional DPS to help push phases,
then to have to wait to heal them."
-paraphrased from some healer here on the forums.

As for your set-up, damn near nailed what I had planned out. The only difference is that I will, hopefully, be using the STR DPS wrists and neck.

Gotcha makes sense, thx for explaining. Also awhile back the idea of STR parry tiers was ruled out. The % displayed is rounded down. So every point of STR gives you a .xxx% more parry amount, its just not displayed until it reaches the next whole number.

But thanks for the % value for parry. Will help compare to dps increase gains vs avg physical damage mitigated.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info about the strength tiers; so every increase in strength helps a bit with parry mitigation.
