    Hey,
    I'm lvl50 with my tankadin and i'm wondering what stats i should be going for? Most of my gear is +stam and +strength. Ive read conflicting post on whether strenght is important or not.

    And what lvl should i start using some +spell damage gear?? or should i have some already??

    for a tank would +block and +dodge be good ? I dont think you should really worry at your lvl. Be more concerned when you hit 70 and start raiding and doing heroics.

    Strength really isn't important. Stamina above all, some int while levelling, and general tanking stats (def/avoidance/block) if you can find them somewhere. Spell damage gear doesn't really exist pre-Outland, and with the changes to quite a lot of paladin gear in 2.4 (removing spelldmg for strength) is still difficult to find *in* Outland. Most paladin tanks at the Karazhan level have around 200 +dmg, most of which will come from the KoT revered sword with a 40 spell damage enchant.

    A decent source for this sort of info is the Maintankadin forums - well worth a look.

    Pretty much what rainbow kirby said, with the addendum... Strength isnt just not very important, its utterly useless. For paladins moreso than warriors, but its pretty much a wasted stat for warriors too.

    Tankadins need a good base of HP so work on Stam, Parry, dodge & def to an extent and work on your aggro building so plenty of spell dmg and spell hit to hold aggro... tankadins are great aoe tanks and are a must in 25man raids so keep that in mind when building gear sets.

    block/spell dam for threat

    stam for survival

    parry/dodge for mitigation

    idealy you should have 3 sets and swap em around depending on the situation, but at lower levels stacking stam is prolly the way to go, due to itemisation on the other gear sucking. just ninja from warriors and you'll do fine. int/str/ap/crit sucks for tanking, dont let anyone tell you otherwise
