The Tankadin Survey

I misread the original intent, and thought it was meant as an educational "How well do you understand paladin tanking?" thing, for use with either applicants or guildmates.

Also, one's answer of the importance of stat A vs B is situational.

Is dodge rating more useful than block rating? It is if you're already unrushable, but otherwise the reverse is true.
Is block (or dodge) rating more useful than spelldamage? Again, it depends on where your gear level is.

This is, I believe, due to the fact that we have to actively gear towards uncrushability, whereas warriors just need to bother with EH and threat (OK, that's an oversimplification -- sorry )

I hope the questions are phrased in a way that you won't expect different answers from T6 people than from people gearing up for Karazhan.

More important ... waht's the goal? Is it to identify the level of understanding in the community (e.g., grade people and see how "right" they are), or merely to find out opinions? (the latter seems perilous, as people who Don't Know could answer. c.f. Kungen's statements on certain matters which I can't remember well enough to quote. )

Which tanking class is most likely to kitten get?

Warrior/Druid/Paladin/Bard

Rofl, it's a trick question, we all know the real answer is that Onyxia is Deep Breathing more because of the advent of Child Bearing Hips.

What I would do for the ranking is:

Set these up in most valuable to least valuable
Stamina
Intellect
Spirit
Strength
Agility

Then afterwards do something like Kelaan suggested with one stat facing another

Another good one is

Order these in most important to least important for threat]
Spell damage
expertise
hit rating
spell hit rating

Which is the best mitigation weapon
King's Defender
Sun Eater
choice 3
choice 4
choice 5
(sorry couldnt think of anymore)

and some other questions along those lines. like Kaleen said, make sure the questions are set so they are not answered differently for someone in t4 vs someone in t6.

You'll probably end up proving that the rogues/mages/hunters etc on your realm don't know squat about palatanks.

More interesting to me would be a "where do you believe palatanks can do well" type of survey among guildleaders/raidleaders.

Kinda like this:

1) do you think that a paladin tanking attumen in karazhan can do so
- very succesfully
- somewhat succesfully
- somewhat unsuccesfully
- very unsuccesfully
- don't know

Meta-question: the need for this survey presupposes that there is still a Paladin image problem. I won that battle a long time ago, but I'm not going to assume that what is true for me is true everywhere. Who/which realms are still having "lolpallytank" issues?
