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
    .
