|  4x Pally 1x DK - Able to do heroics right at 80? Hey all, I was wondering what your thoughts were on if 4x Pally 1x DK with regards to heroics. Do you think that they would be able to do Heroics right the second they hit level 80, assuming their gear is only the basics you get while leveling (eg, around level 75 gear)? I'm *very* new to doing Paladins, and have never done Ret pallies before, so I really don't have a clue at all. All I know is I'm doing really well as 4x Pally now, but of course Outlands, let alone Heroics, could be a completely diff story. Thoughts? Also, what do you think my DK should spec as to be the tank of the group? Lets say my DK is 60 and my 4x Pallies are Ret and 60. What spec should the DK go (Level 60 spec talents only) to best tank? Thanks in advance  PS: This is quite fun doing Pallies/DK as I've never really played these classes at all! |

This page is full of different specs for tanking but the general rule of thumb for DK tanking is a 5,5,5 +56 setup... which means as long as you have 5 points in each tree in the obvious tanking places, the rest is a matter of personal preference.

| Re: 4x Pally 1x DK - Able to do heroics right at 80? Wait wait, I thought DKs were supposed to tank in all specs, and now Blood will be the only spec? Weird? So will the other ones be focused around a specific type of melee, or are they getting ranged somehow? Wow I must be off my gaming ball to not have known this I think I'll be doing Frost as I believe I read they have a cooldown to Deathgrip. |

| Re: 4x Pally 1x DK - Able to do heroics right at 80? Are they getting rid of the rune weapon and other blood abilities to make it tanking or just shifting the 5/5/5 all to blood? |

| Re: 4x Pally 1x DK - Able to do heroics right at 80? Tons of abilities are moving around and/or changing. Blood = Tank Frost = PvE Unholy = PvP For the most part those roles will hold true now...
