But we'll look at some attributes that contribute to our survivability.Armor is the most basic form of damage mitigation in the game, mitigating physical damage and the more of it you have, the better. Paladins wear plate, which provides the most mitigation. There are lots of armor-increasing buffs in the game so this will be one of the things you don't have to actively think about. It should be worth noting that shields have an extremely high amount of armor compared to other pieces in the game so your armor will jump up considerably with a good shield. Armor does nothing to mitigate Magical damage.Stamina is the most important ability score for any tank but it is extra special for Paladins in that it translates directly to Spell Power with Touched by the Light. Spell Power plate still figures into a lot of tank abilities. Actually tank Paladins deal Holy damage from more sources than any other kind of Paladin, even retribution Paladins,This is the reason that Stamina is king.The more Stamina you have, the more Spell Power you have and the more damage and threat you generate. Not to mention, the more Stamina you have, the more health you have and the longer you'll last against big bad bosses. WOW GOLD players can and should increase your Stamina with five talent points in Sacred Duty and Combat Expertise for a total of 14% increase. Once a problem area for Paladin tanks, high health now one of your best assets.Strength is the next best ability score for a tank Paladin.
