TBC Classic Protection Paladin Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Protection Paladin in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Warding
, is better than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Knight
in the long term when you reach the defense cap more easily. Scryer has the advantage of providing a great early game ring, the
Seer's Signet
.
