Quote:Dont forget that Panzar'thar has a straight -50 damage mitigation from Block Value (talented) and is also increased threat for Warriors.
The amount of +spell damage for threat is relative to the raids gearing and type of mobs, obviously. It will always be a juggling act with where and how much +spell damage is needed. At this point in time I wouldnt use the T4 breastplate unless I needed the extra threat from the 4 pc bonus. Any +Block Value will carry a large value, especially once you reach uncrushable and over 50% of hits on you are blocks.
Sta>AC>Block Value
Sorry, I left that out of the pally comparison.
For warriors the T4 piece has block value on it too (more than Panzar'thar does) so that comparison still favors T4. There is no question that T4 warrior chest > Panzar'thar for warrior. Paladin, as I mentioned is a threat vs. mitigation tradeoff. IMO there is a much better argument that this is a "KEY" item for paladin compared with warrior.
