Quote:I don't agree with you here - the mechanics of the primary roles of a spec dictate what tank gear they would be interested in. Obviously druid tanks cannot wear plate but for the same reason paladin tanks aren't going to be as interested in non-warrior tank loot as they would be looking at optimizing different stats for the most part than warriors.Not really. Besides the Tier sets, Paladin and Warrior tanking gear is exactly the same. It's not like Paladins run around with +800 spell damage, 400 intellect,and 100 mp5 from tanking gear or something, they tend to use a Spell Damage weapon (if that) and maybe one other piece of gear with spell damage. Otherwise they want all of the +stamina, +avoidance gear they can find... which is, coincidentally, really good for Warriors, too. Tanks need tank stats, regardless of class. Due to sharing the same type of armor (plate) and common game mechanics that deal with damage mitigation and life totals, Warrior and Paladin tank loot is basicaly the same.
