Since I usually tank 2 to 3 mobs at a time, I use Seal of the Crusader as the AP bonus boosts Consecration dmg which is better overall for AOE tanking - but that's how I roll - use whatever seal you find works best for you.


I like the idea of higher attack speed over higher damage. On a Warrior I always felt aggro generation was higher with faster attack speed, but warriors are a different story and rage generation has its own mechanics.

I'm asking merely because I see people saying to put points on 15% more damage on seal of righteousness damage, so I presumed it was used while tanking since these are tanking builds.


Yes, that is a different mechanic for warriors as faster swing speed means more rage to use other abilities.

For us using Seal of the Crusader for tanking is that it makes our AOE tanking much better due to the AP bonus and with a 40% swing speed bonus, if you have a Main hand weapon with a proc, all the better:

Fist of Stone
Binds when picked up
Main Hand Mace
44 - 83 Damage Speed 1.80
(35.3 damage per second)
Durability 90 / 90
Requires Level 48
Chance on hit: Restores 50 mana.

The other aspect is that I don't like having to spend 5/5 talent points just to boost SoR/JoR - that's a lot of talent points to spend for just one ability imho but that's just me.
