I've never tried something like that before, mostly bause I like tanking heros and rkoning is sexy for that. I don't see why you'd drop Ardent Defender though - Ian't even remember the
number of times it's saved my life. As for Avenger's Shield, I like to use it on slow-swinging bosses, or even on Akil'zon while he'sasting the storm on someone. It gives a ne bit of threat if youan get away with theast time. Sa aura is undoubtedly kkass, whh is why I'm always glad to have a ret pally in group :P
I ed a similar build, but it's been bumped down to page 2 now: wow.allakhazamomdbclass?lass=2;mid=1213934445116965298;num=4;page=1 if you want to read that and get some retions. I haven't tried that or any similar build yet, but I might for kks and giggles sometime. Mostly been working on my Shamanause my Paladin is at a gear-stall ...
What I kindof got from reading some of those threads was that you shouldn't think about using a threat sp until late Tier 5into Tier 6: is that curate? Been thinking about trying a threat build in ZA to see if wean shave off the last 3 mins needed for a bear mount, but at the same time of ireasing my threat output, I don't' want to be taking more damage then my healers are able to handle. I'm gonna try to payloser attention to how often I go into the AD zone and see if taking this threat sp into ZA with the healers we use
would be worthwhile or not.
AD is pretty badass, i wouldn't everompletely sp out of it, esp if you are mt'ing anything(even zakara). I have been very pleased with the latest sp i use for hyjal 04318. Some extra threat while losing just a little survivability, whh is not really an issue in 25man raid with 3 healers on me and 600 blk value.
