[Halion]

Am I the only one considering Accuracy?

Doesn't matter how much AP or SP you add if your attacks miss.
I'd love to see the TPS difference assuming you are not Hit Capped prior to getting this enchant.

I'll admit it is probably lower TPS in the long run, but who has ever lost aggro due to a bad resist or miss at the beginning of a fight? I know I have, and removing those from the scene is more valuable to me then a little more TPS (we are doing amazing amounts already anyway).

The only other enchant I would consider is a pure strength one, and since they haven't seemed to have added a new one, 20 strength just isn't worth it.

EJ Proved that Holy Shield DOES have an AP modifier, and its somewhere around 9% iirc.

[DeadMilliken]

Honestly there is a good chance your right Halion

I was thinking more of pre-80 when most of us are still using our tbc epix.

[DeadlyRabbit]

I was going to try tossing Potency on the Mallet of the tides I have sitting in the bank for patch 3.0, I want to see how it compares to my pink lollipop from hyjal.

[Radience]

I thought all tanks are going to be doing way more threat compared to dps classes in 3.0.2 and wotlk. So why would most people go for pure threat enchant?

[guillex]

On my Main Tanking weapon (strength/stam/defense/etc stats) will be Potency or another strength enchant.

For my tankingeverythingelseandaoefarming weapon (read: SP weapon) then I'll be enchanting it with Greater Spellpower.

That's pretty much what you're all going to be looking at. One weapon that we see as a traditionally Warrior weapon, and one "caster" type weapon in our inventories.

And they're pretty easy to come by pre-patch, or in the expansion. So don't fret.

since i haven't found any Str enchants yet I will more then likely go to massacre at 80, but for lvling purposes I think potency will be most fun (its fun to hit things again)

:edit: may have read the enchant wrong says on my screen 1h and 110 AP seems a little high compared to the new potency (1h 65 ap)

why does everyone wnat strength? if you read hotr (THE MAIN CHOICE WHY WE USE WARROIR TANK WEPS NOW) it clearly states the holy dmg is based off of weapon attack power and + 40 dmg on it would definately get u further than +20 str would it not?

[Flashbane]

+Str = +BV

Iirc Strength is win because we get more AP from +20 str then we do get spell power from +40 SD also the block value is always nice and Hammer does deal holy dmg based on your weapon DPS (which is indirectly scaled from AP)

Correct me if I'm wrong I prolly am

3 or 4x DPS.

But that is modified by attack power which we will get from strength, it isn't simply only the weapon DPS*4.

And as stated strength gives block value as well.

What you'll want, in my opinion, is Greater Potency:

+attackpower and +BV is far more than enough to trump most other enchants as far as I'm concerned.

Also; Hammer of the Righteous has no Spell Power coefficient (if it wasn't clear enough before).

It is based solely on the DPS listed in your character sheet (which is affected by AP). Paladins get 2 AP per point of Strength. Everything we use for tanking scales as well, if not better, with AP(with the exception of Holy Shield, I believe). Strength also gives Block Value, which is the only thing that increases the damage of Shield of the Righteous.

Except for the fact that 50 ap gives us exactly zero Block Value...I really hope they add something that is +STRENGTH which would give us ap and block value
