Having had a chance to play around with my priest for a while, I transferred over my Paladin to the Burning Crusade to see what they can do. I havent played my Paladin since the last talent tree change, so I am a bit rusty with him, so bear with me. The thing I wanted to learn the most about the Paladin and what they could do in the Outlands in regards to tanking. It has been said that now Paladins will be able to tank. Is it true?
Wow, I owe all those poor warriors an apology, tanking aint easy! Sure some of it is my lack of good tanking gear with high stamina, armor and defense ratings, but a lot more of it has to do with my lack of skill at the job. I tried to tank for a run through the Ramparts and one through the Furnace with a group. Luckily they were patient with me as I learned. We did not have a warrior but there was another Paladin who did already have tanking gear, that taught me the ropes.
