Paladin Tanking Belts - Taelas - 05-22-2008

They're about equal.

Belt of the Guardian has more Effective Health (stamina, BV), but Girdle of the Protector has both avoidance and threat (more SPD, spellhit, dodge rating).

It won't make a huge difference either way. I'd get the Belt of the Guardian as a personal favorite because it has block value, and there is fun stuff you can pull off with huge #s of BV.

... until your shield breaks...

Reminds me of pre-TBC when the warrior shield block bug was in effect and this prot warrior posted a video of him soloing LBRS. The only problem was his shield would break before he got done.

Hello Hyjal tanking, where you need to bring 2 shields for a full run, just in case.

SD_GotP_SofRD_F-ET: 103.3893 + 0.789 = 104.178

Looking at those numbers makes me lean towards BV_BotG_SofRD_F-ET. It keeps me uncrushable and has the most block value of any of the options. Of course another option would be to take one of those other paths and then swap pure stamina gems in for any slots that aren't currently using them. I think the gains from that will be pretty small though since there are a good amount of stamina bonuses in there for using the right color. So I've gone ahead and had a BotG made and now am eyeing up the boots and the trinket.
