Threat and TAnk Classes

[Taelas]

I'm frequently without a tree, so I'll hang onto maxed imp devo for myself, but if you need filler points to go higher, I would suggest HoJ, it's 2 points max now, and may suit you better. I still wish we could get that 3rd rank of HoJ once the new patch comes out. Interupts are a weakness on pallies, so getting our 1 interupt down to a 10 sec cooldown would be nice, without that third rank, it is a 20 sec cooldown.

There's still some benefit to Imp Devo Aura even considering the healing aspect, which is why I chose it. Imp HoJ is okay, but I've never really used HoJ while tanking. Imp Devo Aura at least gives the healing benefit if you don't have a tree handy, and there's always the armor increase (as minimal as it may be).

Wouldn't Crusade offer the same amount of threat increase as Conviction on all mobs (1% per talent point), but be better for some mobs (Humanoids, Demons, Undead, Elementals)? This is under the assumption that you're not using a crit proc based trinket or something. And, I suppose, if you are then you're running content you've outgeared and therfore isn't content worth speccing for.

Crusade does offer the same amount of threat per talent point (and double for those mobs you mention), so it's certainly a viable alternative (it may even be better) -- I simply prefer Conviction more.

I guess the best choice would be 3/3 Crusade and 2/5 Conviction for maximum threat.
