Pally tank question

[jestana]

I'm trying to figure out which seal I should have active while tanking: Insight or Truth? I thought Insight would be useful because it helps out the healer a bit. According to Noxxic, though, I should use Truth. Or does it depend on the situation

Disclaimer: I do not pally tank. I am a paladin though.

I think you're supposed to be using Truth, because that increases holy damage, and that's how you generate threat.

Leveling as a pally tank, I use insight. At 85 I assume you use truth unless you -really- need the mana and threat isn't a problem.

As a healer, you use insight. As ret, you use uh... The first one you get. Ret paladins get a talent that makes it hit more than one mob.

I'm main spec holy, but tank from time to time. I start in truth, then switch to insight once I've got a dece

...nt threat lead. In tank swappy fights like Ultrax and Warmaster I keep truth up the whole time.

Seal of Truth always as ret. (My main's a ret pally on WrA.) As tank, I always have Truth up for the threat. Pally tanking (from what I've found) is all about keep threat with your holy spells/abilities. You shouldn't ever have trouble with mana, really, since your Judgement should be giving you a mana return.

I would actually say the auras are less straight-forward, ahahaha.

Holy always uses Insight, because there is a sweet, sweet glyph that buffs overall healing when it's up.
Ret uses Truth for boss fights, and the blue one (righteousness?) for trash.
Prot generally uses Truth for more threat and damage, but you if you're having mana issues Insight isn't a bad idea.

I thought it wasn't really worth it to swap to Insight for trash now (at least in 5man's).
