Byron "Messiah" Mudry returns to his roots this week and loots at Paladin Tanking once again. Since initially writing his guide to Paladin Tanking that covered tanking up to Karazhan, there have been many questions about the gear you need as you move through Zul'Aman and the 25 man raids. As a result the "How to Play a Tankadin Guide" has now been updated with an additional page that ranks key items for each slot as you move up in raid progression.

This list is a items for each slot ranked from the best down. Each slot shows the epic items that you should work towards for that slot as you progress through raids in the Burning Crusade. The list starts at the end of Karazhan progression level, meaning that you should have Karazhan on farm when starting to look at this list and progression in gear. Please remember also that the list is for each slot individually and based on item quality, not how it interacts with other items.

You can find all the details in our How to Play a Tankadin - Raid Progression Gear.
