Questions for Lazeil

[Infekted]

Dear Lazeil,

I was wondering if you could spare a few precious moment to help me out. Since your the best paladin tank around the world i would like to hear some advice and hints that could develop my tanking skills and be as good as you some time. It might be a stupid idea but im not going to stop trying, I just got a couple of questions when i checked some of your gear you feet didnt have any extra movement speed but +50 mastery why did you use that instead? The bracers why did you put a +195 stam instead of dodge or any other one? and your hand instead of expertise you placed stamina? Im confused ive been reading forums that they suggest other stuff but you managed to do top notch tanking with these enchants.

I want to ask about the rotation you use for single and multi target thats what im weak at mainly getting confused how to optimise my tanking for that. Im not sure on how to do my keybinding properly even reading about it doesnt help what should i do about it? I use the normal numbers and click sometimes.

Another question in your talent spec you didnt put 2 talent points in Rekoning but 1 is it the purpose to fill in the talent point for Pursuit ? Is that why you placed mastery instead of Earthen Vit boot enchant? Also why didnt you use glyph of focused shield doesnt that benefit you anymore?

A final question i have in mind for quite a while.. What did you do to push yourself to be top notch at what you are currently doing?
If you have any other tips and advices besides the questions i asked please say so.

I would like to thank you in advance, once you get the time to read this and reply.
Much appreciate it.

Awww I'm sorry but don't people have their own opinion? Free to express what they want? By far i've been looking at some tank videos and haven't seen anything smoother.If i see other people tanking as good as him i might change my opinion :) nothing wrong with it.

I bet you did read the whole thing. ;) your secret is safe with me!

Reading through tooltips of your character abilities helps a lot, m8 =)
Mastery is IMO best stat after gaining some sufficient hit and expertize.. I stick with capping those out first and then stacking mastery from every source, including gems and enchants indeed.
As of rotations - there's nothing special and hard to understand. Threat is not the main problem of paladin tank by far (even if there's none helping). Survivability is what you should focus on instead (i.e. selfhealing, damage reduction etc.)

P.S. You were saying you've never seen any paladin tanking better than Lazeil.. Well, you should watch more videos then, not trying to insult Lazeil though, he is really skilled indeed )))

True thats what i am trying to aim at aswell. Yes mastery is quite the main thing which paladins would look for after the hit and expertise cap but i think i read a post from lazeil saying it doesnt worry him much about capping hit and expertise but im not sure about that tho. I do use WoG every now and then when im not proc'd for Sacred Duty, and always use Divine Protection before every pull thats when i get smashed the most, and every time possible. Alright thanks for the rotation bit i got it out of the way. I have no troubles at all with surviving and always try to help the healers most of the time and yes they are pleased with me helping them.

We'll by far i haven't and i only just started looking at tanking videos i have seen a couple that use different methods besides lazeil's and yes i did msg them for help and their opinions and im still looking into more videos and learning from them. This is just a start :)

But thanks alot.

Why do you bother capping hit and expertise now? You are saying you got no problems with threat whatsoever, and i feel the same. That's why I've done like Lazeil; going for maximum avoidance and stamina.
Look at his armory, and you will see like 0.5% hit or something, and I don't think that's a dumb thing to do.
