What Proffesions Should You Take As A Tanking Paladin in 4.3
Different professions offer different benefits for a tanking Paladin. Here we will tell you the most profitable professions for Tanking Paladin in world of warcraft patch 4.3.
Beyond crafting your own plate gear the primary purpose of blacksmithing is to provide you with two additional gemming slots ([Socket Bracer] [Socket Gloves]) to stuff additional gems. Barring changes to profession perks, blue comments suggest BS will become the best all-around profession once a character is fully equipped with Epic gems.
The primary benefit enchanting has for tanking is the +60 stamina to each of your rings for a total gain of 120 stamina. For those with Retribution off-specs there are the +STR/AGI ring buffs to consider as well.
Engineering has filled the role of crafting usable equipment, namely specialized helms and ranged weapons. This continues with Cataclysm. It is unclear what head slot epics will become available later on but engineering Protection Paladins can craft [Reinforced Bio-Optic Killshades] as their first epic tanking helm. As the special Jewelcrafter like Cogwheel "gems" ([Flashing Cogwheel], [Fractured Cogwheel], [Subtle Cogwheel]) can only be used in the crafted Engineering helms, the presence or absence of further crafted helms has a substantial impact on the profession’s future value. Other benefits include slot specific enchants for tanks like [Quickflip Deflection Plates] and [Grounded Plasma Shield]. Finally, the Cardboard Assassin has utility in managing adds or boss control in certain circumstances.
Herbalism provides little benefit to tanking Paladins; [Lifeblood] can be used as a self heal and haste boost but is sub-optimal based on other profession bonuses.
The main benefit of Inscription is the special shoulder enchants only available to Inscriptionists, which provide the exact same bonus options (net of the Exalted level Therazane shoulder inscriptions) as Enchanting. In addition, the player is not required to grind Therazane rep. As a further bonus, Inscriptions can craft a number of items. The most interesting for tanking Paladins are [Notched Jawbone] and [Silver Inlaid Leaf], though the stats for the latter item are not ideal. Beyond that if you have good access to herbs you can create your own glyphs.
Jewelcrafting can provide interesting trinkets but its primary benefit is the unique gems ([Solid Chimera's Eye]) only usable by jewel crafters, the net benefit of which is comparable to the gain from other professions, though it has the advantage of being flexible, allowing those points to be used for Mastery or Avoidance, rather than Stamina. The craftable trinkets provide some benefit to newly leveled starting tanks. On the PTR, the Chimera's Eye patterns have been buffed by ~10 itemization points each to compensate for the new epic gems. Since blue quotes suggest it might take quite a while to get fully decked out in epic gems, the potential exists for JC to be a solid 30 itemization points better than any other profession, until the character is fully decked out in epic gems. I find it hard to believe Blizzard won't change this, but they appear to recognize the situation and be ok with it right now.
The primary benefit for tanking Paladins provided by leatherworking would be the Draconic Embossment for bracers with the +195 STAM enchant presumably the most attractive. The current non-LW BiS defensive wrist Enchant is +50 Dodge rating. While the gap in itemization points between the two enchants is roughly what one would expect for a profession bonus, the gap between the base enchant being in the inferior Dodge vs Stamina makes this a superior option. Combined with the potential raid utility of the surprisingly still functional Drums of Speed, LW is an attractive tanking profession.
