I´m at lvl 69 at the moment and soon i have to start to farm for good raiding gear I guess. (First time character)
I´m wondering what gear is best for me to farm for?
Would be great if someone could link me full sets with nice tankadin gear and maybe some pros and cons with them?
I´ve read that "of the righeous" is a pretty good set to start off with, is that true?
Also REALLY need a good tankadin weapon and shield.. suggestions?
(yes, I have read blademelds guide but thats kinda outdated right? since it was written before 2.3?)
as I said, this is my first character so I could be really off here with my thoughts, I dont know...
grateful for all the help I can get! thx!

First, the bad news: there is no one set of gear that will make you into a raid tank.
The good news is, you have options.
Blademeld's guide is still relevant, since 2.4 did not come with a slew of new items for paladin tanks to use. (That, and the numbers to be uncrittable and uncrushable were not changed with the latest patches.) Check the Shattered Sun Offensive's rep rewards for a good one-hander and shield that are pretty easy to obtain. Other than that, sites like elitist jerks and maintankadin.com have good info on them as well.
There is no "recipe" for what gear you need; depending on what's available, you should be able to reach the magic 490 defense without much trouble, and 102.4% avoidance ("uncrushable") without much trouble. Sadly, the Righteous Armor set will not get you there if you're wearing all 5 pieces. Then again, you may not want to try main tanking on your first raid ever, unless you are exceptionally lucky. Also, the shoulders to that set only drop once every 100 years, according to what I've heard.

Ran Bot 100000000x, Exalted with shat....Stupid plant never dropped those shoulders!
Meanwhile, the chest and gloves will drop on your first runs in SV and SH, respectively, but the gloves don't compare to the Felsteel gloves.

Chest did in fact drop first run, Gloves never got, However I do have felsteel. Speaking of SV....Warlord does not want to give me his cape. I think the damn plant and Lizard have something against me!
Devilshark Cape and the chestplate both dropped from warlord the first time I went to SV. The first time I took out Bladefist in SH, he gave me the gloves and

I do >:/
If it makes you feel better, I'm still stuck with
these
ugly things on my shoulders in my avoidance gear, until something better drops...

first off.. whats the "S1 mace"?
and second... avoidance? do I get that from agility? since you have agility on your shoulders there.. and u said it was for your "avoidance gear"...? I have been going on defence, stamina, intellect, spell dmg.. in that order.. I guess I´ve been going the wrong the way there...?
But for all the rest, thx alot for the help! think I have a bit of a better view now of what I should be aiming for..!
