wait till you're level 57-8, get a cheap weapon from the AH, at 61, go to HFP, go to BF, and get diamond-core sledgehammer
at 62, get spellfire longsword from SP

should be noted that bosses arnt considered lvl 73 their spells are three lvls ahead of the raids total current lvl so if the raid was all 70 the bosses spells would be 73
Yep, bosses are considered 3+ player level, this means that even old content bosses are 73 for mathematical purposes.

Which means paladin tanks still need to be uncrushable from bosses in old world raids.

I'm leveling a tankadin now and I've chosen to roll with this build for tanking at level 70:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZVhxIx0dMgqtV0x
Now... I'm tempted to get Pursuit of Justice to be able to withstand spell damage more, since that is one thing we paladins have a problem with, but should I rather get BoK and Imp. Judgement with the last three points for the extra threat generation and utility?
I'm guessing your answer will be "whichever suits you best", but I'd like your views and opinions =) Feel free to comment on the build in general. Thanks in advance ;)
//EDIT Guh, I see this was discussed in length here:

my point is people saying its useless to put points into reckoning.
Its all about peoples own playing styles.
Agreed, however, you've stated that you were tanking the waves, an AoE situation, where reckoning would frequently proc.

Hullo again dear paladins. I'm in a guild with buddies, we all leveled new characters and are only aiming to clear Kara/ZA before WotLK, so here are the items/build I'm aiming for right now:

I've gone for max block value, since I just love the stat =) Feel free to comment and offer improvement suggestions.
Thanks~~

//EDIT Add BoK, Holy Shield and Righteous Fury to the buffs to have a realistic idea =)

Add
Blessing of Kings
and an
agility food buff
and you don't need
Libram of Repentance
.

Which libram do you suggest then? The JoR one?
Post by

Sure, go ahead with
Libram of Divine Purpose
for single target threat generation.
Libram of Eternal Rest
will be your best friend for AoE tanking though.

By the way... I pointed this out to you ages ago in some other thread and I think you should fix it here too. Stamina is cheaper in item budget than other stats and combat ratings. For the same value as 65 stam you could only get ~43 def/dodge/block/whatever rating, making stamina even more valuable than you claim.

I did fix it within the week, but it didn't get saved, so I attempted again, but it didn't save the second or third time either.
So, it took it as an intervention from the heavens above and left it as it is.

9% less than melee DPS and 29% less than ranged DPS will allow you to hold aggro :P
As long as you can down the boss before enrage timer and the DPS doesn't pull aggro, you have enough TPS.
