Better Late Than Never Friday, 4/9/10
Better Late Than Never Friday is a random monthly feature where I pull a bunch of search terms from Google Analytics that landed folks here and try to answer questions that may not be directly answered at this site, as gleaned from their keywords used.
best paladin tank enchant waist 3.3
Well, technically the only waist enchant is the Eternal Belt Buckle. If you’re an engineer though, you have two supplementary choices for some additional AOE damage. Using the Frag Belt or Personal Electromagnetic Pulse Generator tinkers on your belt (stacks with the buckle) can give your big pulls a little more oomph. The former obviously summons a bomb for you (with a neat little stun) and the latter can set off an Explosive Decoy for a chunk of physical damage. Both pretty handy.
nightmare tear does it give 10 to dodge also?
No, but it does give 10 Agility, which translates to some dodge. Though, not as much as 10 Dodge Rating would give.
glyph of judgement or command low level
Command is pretty nice at low level for the free mana it gives. That’ll make the early levels much easier to suffer through when going OOM is a constant, looming shadow.
sindragosa parry haste
Sindra does indeed parry haste (confirmed in this thread). This shouldn’t be much of a worry for two reasons: her breath is her biggest source of damage rather than her cleave, and dps will die if they sit in front of her, so you don’t need to worry about a clueless warrior causing you trouble, he won’t be up for long.
what kind of damage is putricide dealing? amplify magic
To the raid it’s either Shadow or Nature damage, depending on the attack. Your tanks will be taking a huge chunk of Physical damage from Putri’s melees, but even then there’s a lot of magic damage (especially in phase 3) and you don’t want to risk a tank gibbing ruining your attempt. I would recommend against amplify magic, honestly.
can i exchange my voa sanctified for emblems and mark?
Ye gods no.
does armor penetration stack with hammer of the righteous?
The damage is Holy, so it’s already penetrating armor.
does judgement proc seal of command cleave?
It does if you have at least one point in Judgements of the Just. It isn’t the judging the procs the cleave, it’s the application of the JoJ debuff. Probably a bug, but I’m not complaining.
festergut melee parry gib?
Festergut has parry haste turned off, so there is no danger of that.

“can i exchange my voa sanctified for emblems and mark?”
Even if this were possible, I’d transfer servers and HIT YOU WITH MY PIMP HAND.
I have yet to see ONE piece of Sanc Pally loot drop from VoA, so please consider yourself lucky.
And about the belt enchants, I wish I could macro the bomb into my moves, but it’s got that stupid casting circle and I just can’t be bothered to manually target a little bomb.

I agree, targetting the bomb is a huge pain. I just learned the Pulse Belt/Explosive Decoy trick, and I think I’m going to add that to my toolbox for big pulls.

Oh wow, I wasn’t aware of that trick, that stupid Pulse Generator has always seemed completely worthless. What kind of numbers are we talkin’, got a thread or something? I’d love to out-threat our MT somehow (even though I’m about 400 gs below him)…
Antigen’s last blog ..OMG! Watch out for the Shock Vortex, Empowered Flame, Shadow Prison, Twilight Fans…

Wowhead says 1440-2160 physical damage for the decoy explosion. Problem is, I don’t know if that is split among all targets, or for each one. Also, it’s physical, so mitigated by enemy armor. I’ll pop a few on some target dummies this weekend and work it out. Might be worth it for those huge aoe pulls.
