I have 2 questions here: - Should I be using BOW and seal of rightehousness instead?
- Is there any way I can increase my blockchance at these low levels? (I'm 45), I've been trying to stack some defence to get my avoidance up (78% with redoubt and HS up)
I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. I'm quite sure that these claims of unlimited mana come from the genre of people that levels a lock via void draintanking + wanding and thinks they're efficient, I just want to be sure.
(my armory: The World of Warcraft Armory)
I'd also like to recomend [Thrash Blade] to any prot pally out there. The extra swing is a white swing (didn't it use to be yellow?) so it can proc everything, which makes up for it's less than ideal speed. |
I don't think the
[Thrash Blade] proc makes up for the lack of speed unless you're using SotC or something.
If you're having mana problems, its absolutely vital you get a 1.5 speed sword or as close to it as possible. SoW an JoW have flat chances to proc.
Unlike the other posters, I never bothered with JoL or SoL unless I was being lazy and going afk. I would usually end fights with considerable mana, then Flash of Light or Gift of the Naaru myself and keep going.
If at all possible, you want to get
[Hanzo Sword] this thing is absolutely beast. In my personal experience, even with access to the higher dps outland weapons, the speed on this sword made it my choice weapon until level 66.
