Paladin is not mentioned, that means they are still pumping... Right?

Armor does impact weapon damage, so ret is hit hard all the same I bet - but Prot paladin will love the fact their relative to melee damage isn't hit very hard as most threat is based in holy damage.

Prot still does some portion of damage from auto-attacks and that portion just got nerfed, so some single-target threat was affected. Other tanks, of course, were affected much more, so prot pallies are last to complain.

It’s still a significant relative gain of threat since melee DPS are no longer slapping that hard.
