Protadins and their new mechanics.

[Damare0]

So ive been playing round on the PTR on my huntar, and i've seen a bunch of tankadins with warrior tanking weapons, as opposed to the old spell dmg ones.

Is his brought on by a change in mechanics or what?

Plz eksplane

Here is atleast some:
Most of our abilities scale with spell damage but also with attack power. So both are good for making threat but now we also get lots of shield bock value with str. (2 str = 1 sbv). So strength is superior for making threat as it also gives nice migitation. The reason for using warrior tanking weapons is Hammer of the Righteous (prot 51 point talent) which deals lots of holy damage based on your weapon dps (not avg. damage so dont bother with slow weapon).
