Trekloss` guide to Paladin FR gear

Fire resistance (FR) is very important in many high lvl raid instances, especially Molten Core and Blackwing Lair.

It is before you are a seasoned MC raider you will need the gear at this list, as when you have done MC daily for a month, you`ll have way better FR gear dropped in MC

The problem about FR gear isnt to get it, but to get it cheap, and to get FR gear that has stats in addition to the resistance.

Note that this is the best gear WITH Fire resistance, there may be better gear for paladins, but it wont have FR Enjoy.

The paladin will mostly heal and cleanse in raid dungeons, so you will need gear with Int, Spirit, +healing and mana regen. As a paladin, you wont meet much melee, and will need about 100FR unbuffed to have plenty for whole MC, including Ragnaros.

Head Dark Iron Helm is an option, and can be made (quite expensivly) by armorsmiths. It gives 20stam and 35FR, and fits better for Warriors. The real thing is the Lawbringer Helm, that drops from Garr in MC. It gives +10 FR, int, spi, stam, 4mana per sec and +22 healing! Perfect for paladins, and it drops before FR is needed in MC! Get this as soon as possible

Shoulders Trickier slot, there really isnt any good choice thats plate for paladins. Dark iron shoulders give plenty of FR, but nothing else you need, but is possible. But who says you only need plate! You wont be main tank anyway I`d rather make a blacksmith get you fiery chain shoulders. A little less armor, but 25FR and 20 Int! Thats pretty nice.

Chest Dark iron breastplate, is again giving FR but not anything else you need. The Lawbringer Breastplate, on the other hand, is giving anything you can wish for! They drop from Golemagg in MC, give 22healing, 20FR and 21 Int! If you dont get it, you may try the red dragonscale breastplate. It gives +66 healing! Both are eligble choices, take what you get, none are easy to get S

Legs Flamewalker Leggings drop from all MC bosses and give some str, stam,a and +11 FR and SR. These are an eligble choice, together with the epic Legplates of the Chromatic Defier. These give +5 resistance to all elements, together with 19int and 26spi! They are obtained by completing the quest chain gotten by the dragon whelp Awbee in UBRS.

Waist The thorium belt is easy to get, gives +8 FR and really sucks, so avoid it I`d reccomend the Lawbringer belt, who gives the same as the other mentioned Lawbringer parts, just abit less of each.
It drops from the trash mobs in MC. You may also try to get the Corehound Belt or the Fiery Chain Girdle from MC, although i`d rather go for lawbringer, as they give far less stat bonuses that Lawbringer. (Corehound Belt gives far more +healing than Lawbringer though, but probhably not worth it.)

Bracers Only one good choice here, the Emberplate Armguards.
They drop from Lord Incendius in MC, and can be gotten with +33 healing! They are really nice.

Hands Still, Lawbringer is = Party, in this case, they drop from Gehennas in MC. If you dont get them, try to get Molten Fists from Ambassador Flamelash in BRD. They give +int and +spi, in addition to +10FR, meaning more FR than Lawbringer, but less healing.

Feet Magma tempered boots are your only good option here, and they drop from Geddon, Golemagg, Garr and Magdamar in MC. They give some spi, int, stam and +8 FR.

Back A good option is the Onyxia Scale Cloak that you probhably will have to get anyway, as doing the Onyxia Quest Line is pretty important. Thats because most MC guilds are planning / doing Onyxia! It is important when fighting Onyxia, in addition to give +16 FR.
Another good opinion is the Fireproof Cloak, that drops from a few of the MC fire elementals. It gives +18FR and +9int and +8spi, but has a low droprate, so dont plan on getting it anytime soon

Rings Seal of the Archmagus is the best choice, and it drops from Geddon in MC. +6 resistance to all schools, in addition to mana regen and +11 in Int, Spi and Stam. Another choice is the Seal of Ascension with +10 Fire, Frost and Shadow resistance. Not that good, but if you are planning to open UBRS, you need this one Get it from the Seal Of Ascension Quest in LBRS.

Neck The Drakefire Amulet thats needed to enter Onyxias Lair gives +15FR and +10 stam. Its given at the end of the Onyxia Quest Line, and is needed to enter Onyxias Lair, so you better get it anyways
Another good choice is the Elder Magus Pendant. It gives +10FR, +10int and +7spi. It drops from Magister Kalendris in Dire Maul.

Trinket The Royal Seal of Eldre`Thalas is your best choice. Its obtained by looting the book "The Light and How to Swing It" in Dire Maul. The book drops from trash mobs and some of the bosses. Do the quests from it, get the trinket. The Seal gives +22 healing, 150armor and +10FR.
Engineers can make themselves an Hyper-Radiant Flame Deflector with +18FR and the ability to make you immune to fire-based attacks for 5sec.
Sadly, it can only be used by engineers. The recipe is dropped by Solakar Flamewreath in Blackrock Spire.

Now, i have gone through all the FR gear that also has stats needed by paladins. Remember, there IS better gear for healing and such for paladins, and this is just PvE gear, but it is the best gear that also gives FR that is possible to get by paladins. FR enchants can be added.

Remember, the paladin only needs about 100FR unbuffed in MC, solve it as you like.

I hope this has spared you all for some time\, as i wont write more today, i`ll log onto vent and do MC myself

Enjoy!
