The small lack of defense isn't a big deal at all. The +5% to blocking with a shield and the increased damage reduction to a shield is HUGE though. In any fight that has melee damage (which most do) stuff like this is going to make your tank one hell of a brick, and easy as heck for your healers to keep alive.

Edit: Yeah, I think they had the wrong number on the Ony trinket +def or on this trinket, because when I looked at it last this trinket had 2 less defense than the Ony trinket. That's also the basis for the previous post. Not sure what happened there. Either way, you're right Crantzie.

So when does a Paladin tank? I was very confused about the listing of this item on http://www.wow-loot.com/raid-bwl.htm at first but now that I think about it. The +13 Defense is great and would benefit a guild more on a Feral Druid than on a Paladin. (let the beating begin)

I'm a Paladin - and I want it as well. I have crafted the Force Reactive Disk for myself (See? I do MC already! :p) and since the pally is very low on choices with +block (essential for using the FRD), I'd try to get every bit I can get. I already have the +2 block% enchant + Darkrune Gauntlets, and since I can't use the Might/Wrath pieces, this is one of my last options for added block%.

But ofcourse, tanks get priority on this baby :)

Very nice trinket.
Not sure why all the people not in guilds that have killed him would argue over who gets it. Seems like the guilds that have done it would be in a position to discuss that.

My guild is horde, but if we were alliance we'd have let a paladin buy that. You need to understand, guilds that have beaten through Firegor in BWL are already well geared from MC and the rest of BWL--the argument of loot classes is still present but much less important.

Agreed, you earned the points, you bid on what ever you want is how we do things. However, our members are mature enough not to bid on things they don't need or want, and no paladin has ever bid on a tanking item.

Welp, 1.9 numbers are out and Pallies wouldn't benefit from this anymore than they did before. For a raid situation, even if I was a pally, I'd think this should go to the MT on down through the subs. That's just making mitigation that much better for classes that take hits for the guild.

a few things i am 'omg'ing...first of all, why are all the first posts on allah always "where does this drop?" KID how did u get to this page besides having already been searching a BWL boss that you knew was a BWL boss, or just were too ridiculously and utterly slow to read that it says Blackwing Lair over every conceivable link to this page. I mean there was no way you could click any link to this page and it didn't say Blackwing Lair right above it. No offense to you people here, I have wanted to post that all up and down allah for weeks! This site is very well designed, once i found this i immediately stopped using Thot (while my french is ok, german is nilch, I dont like having to translate video game information to english for myself, not to mention lots of other gripes with that site). But beyond that, I came really to ask Bliz why oh why this item isn't "Classes: Paladin, Warrior, Shaman" item. It's like they want a rogue to get this and be like "what, defense is good for me!" Personally doesn't effect me as hunter who is smart enough to not roll for this. But i feel bad for the hearthache this item is naturally going to cause for all of you when working with, as mentioned above, the obviously 'high-caliber' minds of the average WoW player...

Relax. You will end up shooting yourself in the head if you freak out over harmless questions like "where does this drop?" In fact, this page did not used to say anything about what dropped it or where. And there are a number of ways to get to it besides looking for BWL bosses. You could search for items by slot: Trinket. Or it could have been linked in a messenger program by a friend. Or maybe people just missed where it said it dropped. Who cares? It's a completely harmless, simple question. Just...relax.

Additionally, I ironically feel the need to remind you that this item is from BWL. As such, only organized raids are going to be killing the boss that drops this item. In such a group, there is rarely, if ever, random rolling. And if there is, a rogue rolling on this would have to have an IQ of 1 or 2, which would be impossible considering the fact that BWL requires a higher IQ than that if you want to be successful. Only if the rogue wanted to be an ass would he even try to get this item in his inventory. But then...anyone can be an ass and do that. Rogue, priest, even warrior and paladin. Even if the item did specify class.

Finally, Blizzard is not going to read your post here.

The level 50 paladin "wants to be the owner of that". Well.. Unless you are in a better raid than I can imagine, you will never, ever have that item.

It will have to drop a number of times equal to the number of warriors in the raid before you can get a chance of aquiring one. lol

Edit: And isnt it sad that Blizzard make stuff like this and plan to remove a huge chunk of its beauty in the next patch? -33% defence on items.. Yummie. =/
