Keep making videos homie, good info 💯from one paly to another! shine on ☀

[@joshuajmr]

You’re a legend man, thank you for this. Been trying to figure out a shockadin build but this my first time playing pally

[@LuxverosGaming]

No problem! more videos to come in the future!

[@LostVos]

Very informative, the best tank a guy could ask for 🏹

[@momok5480]

Thanks for sharing this 👌🏻 please post more paladin content

[@Tareyak]

And so it begins :D also don't underestimate how good spiritual focus is, being able to switch into Conc Aura and keep yourself up v nice to have as a tank

[@LuxverosGaming]

Yeah that is also a viable route!
A decent amount of the points are flexible in my opinion so long as you have Divine Favor / Holy shock/ Illumination/ and the Holy Power spell crit talent.
The 1 point in Cons is an easy pickup too always.
Currently with my raid setup I prefer to skip Spiritual Focus and mainly go for threat because we have a Hunter and a Ret that 99 Parse and are tough to hold off.
I could see them gunning for my threat if I went for the heal instead of spamming Dmg.
If you were in a raid where you don't see that being an issue and you wanna help out the healers that sounds like a good use of the talent points to me.
In scary Situations currently I will usually opt to Holy Shock myself or Pop a Stoneshield or protection potion.
Other options would be to Bubble and Cancel/ BoP and cancel/ or last option use Lay on Hands.
If I wasn't worried about the parsers in my raid catching me than I could see myself opt to use spiritual focus and cast a heal when needed.
I Could potentially see myself running Spiritual Focus in the future but also as Int rises Divine Intellect becomes more useful for Mana pool and spellcrit.
Even with the Electrocutioner's Needle I think you could easily get away with it, And if you don't have tryhards going for 99parses I think its a great idea to help your healers out!
Also Spiritual focus is amazing to have when solo or when PvPing.
All in All if you wanted to take Spiritual Focus I would personally drop the 5/5 from Divine Intellect and put it into Spiritual Focus as we do not even have much INT in the current bis without buffs up.

[@justinTime077]

I can’t imagine not taking spiritual focus on almost any build unless you’re PvE-only and as sweaty as a pig in a sauna

[@LuxverosGaming]

This build is for raid tanking mainly
Also Respec is capped at 1g so I just respec after raid

[@giovanniivanov3010]

Nice video!! Will this build be good after SoM nerf?

[@LuxverosGaming]

Yep still just as good,
Most of the nerf was reverted so It isn't noticeable at all.
SoM is still giving 2 procs of AoW per swing.
The nerf that went out only affects certain weapon procs or if you were using weapon oils for the most part.
Most players will not notice the nerf at all

[@gxrluv]

How much gear dependent would you say this build is? Also how is your damage mitigation being holy and not prot? is this good for MT raid or more like an offtank?

[@LuxverosGaming]

Good for maintanking i Solo tank the whole raid with this build. Have used this build sense week 1.
Have a new video showing it solo tank the last boss.

[@gxrluv]

@@LuxverosGaming Awesome! am Respecting as we speak! thanks so much for the video!

How viable is running the leather gear from tier tokens? I feel like it’s better statted for str/agi. I have the same gear as you otherwise.

[@LuxverosGaming]

Itemization-wise and Crit wise you could argue that the leather is better.
One thing to keep in mind would be the lack of hit%
Because of the 2% hit you would lose from not wearng the full plate set and the overall mitigation you would lose I personally prefer the plate set.
It still has great threat while retaining very good mitigation and keeping you at the hit cap easier.
Some of the bosses hit somewhat hard and to be safe for the early clears the plate seemed like the best option.
I Would assume you would be fine If you went with the leather but personally I wouldn't recommend it currently.
I am gonna run cloth engi belt/
leather hit bracers/
mail hit shoulders
and a crowd pummeler 2hander on pull
in my bis setup.
If I had full leather tier + leather bracers/Mail shoulders/ and was using a Crowd Pummeler I'm not sure how well it would go vs certain bosses.
To avoid having to potentially take another 3 tokens before others I just went with the safe route.
In the future i might get the leather set once each of my guild members have their tier.
But currently after getting the full plate set I would like to get the Shockforged set to test out.
Thanks for the comment hope this helped.

[@darksamus8]

Is the same build talents/runes with 2H ?

[@LuxverosGaming]

www.wowhead.com/classic/talent-calc/paladin/50053122501151_156p366wa76sn86spa6nw
something like this, some points are changeable.
You want Imp Seal of Righteousness talents now that Seal Of Martyrdom scales with it

[@hausemeister]

can i use the build as off heal as well?

[@LuxverosGaming]

yeah you can Tank/OT/Heal or DPS with this build with a simple rune/gear swap.
You can swap a few points around depending on personal pref.
