Derp. Okay.
said by Cptbeatstix: I use one set of gear. Always have, even when I was doing progression back in BC and wrath on my paladin.
You weren't progressing as a tank on your paladin in BC. You likely tanking Mag T and Gruul and only as an OT. Gearing a paladin tank in BC was extremely hard as there were very few plate pieces that everything pallies needed.
You were taking more damage on certain fights than what you should've been. You mean you didn't have Frost resist gear in Naxx that you swapped in for the last couple bosses? Yeah, you're bad.
said by Cptbeatstix:You don't have to carry different pieces for tanking and it most certainly doesn't make you a bad tank for doing that.
It makes you a casual player, well not even casual just oblivious. For you to think that one set of gear is the only requirement for you as a tank is just ignorant. Where have you read about the magical one set to rule them all (encounters)? I need me that set!
