I can’t find a definitive source, but does the weapon damage matter to a protection paladin? the DPS on my Mace and Sword are the same, as is the speed, but the base damage is different. Does this matter for tanking?
Yes, some of our abilities are directly connected to our Absorb Shield generation. Doing more damage means more passive self healing. This is even more evident once you get some tertiary stats into Leech.
Aside from that, more DPS means things die faster. Which means you take less damage and possibly don’t need to waste extra defensives.
Weapon type doesn’t matter.
Awesome thank you!
