Looks Sick! by Kodohammer, Score -1.1
While my opinion on the looks is, well, my opinion, I'd have to say that i'd keep the Justicar Shoulders, and not bother with the Crystalforge one's.
Justicar has: Armor : 997 Stam : 18 Int : 22 Def : 12 Block Value : 23 Block Rating : 15 Dmg/Healing : 22 MP/5 : 0 Crystalforge has: Armor : 1133 Stam : 28 Int : 23 Def : 20 Block Value : 0 Block Rating : 0 Dmg/Healing : 12 MP/5 : 6 To sum it up. Justicar has -136 Armor, -10 Stam, -1 Int, +23 Block Value, +15 Block Rating, +10 Dmg/healing, -6 MP/5. I'd rather have the BV,BR,DMG/Heal, then the Stam,Int,and MP/5. Armor is almost a non-factor, imo. As well, the last piece i would swap out would be the Gloves, as they also have BV + BR, while the crystalforge gloves don't. But the CF 4 peice bonus is sweet ^.-. (WTB: Justicar 2-peice Bonus + Crystalforge 4-peice bonus)
this set is really awsome, finally glad the red headed step children of warcraft otherwise known as paladins finally get a treat...but this set looks awful! its like something Robocop would wear if he was a homosexual
1st of this is crap tanking armor by azaga, Score -1.2
in response to the last comment: you need a macro. Go to the WoW forums and you can find one that will use your taunt on your target if your target is friendly, but will use it on your target's target if its not friendly. Bam a taunt that's better than a warrs.
/cast [help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget,help] Righteous Defense
Casts on the friendly you have targeted, or casts on the friendly your current mobs is agro'd to. Always have target of target display turned on in your Blizzard options so you know when your selected mob is not on the right person. Consider this (maybe think outside of raiding for a sec), you're in unfamiliar territory and get some adds during a fight. There's a bunch of adds right next to your clothie now, but you don't know which ones are hitting them Do you want to spend time taunting and sundering them all or just select priest/mage and hit taunt and instantly get all of them? This mechanic has its advantages. I use it even when I'm not tanking to save the clothies, giving the war time to get them back.
Crystalforge (T5) has, compared to Justicar (T4):
700 more armor. (Lawl 1% damage reduction) 8 more stamina. 36 more Dodge rating. (Before accounting for Defense) 21 less intellect. 20 less block value. 1 less mana/5. 1 less +spell damage. 16 less Defense. (Affects both Block and Dodge rating) 3 less Block rating. (Before accounting for Defense) Now.. What exactly makes Crystalforge worth the title of Tier 5, when compared to Justicar..? From the view of someone who's been a tanking paladin since long before it was "Valid", Crystalforge not only looks worse, but has less power than Justicar, and I'd honestly not use Crystalforge for any reason other than the 4-piece set bonus.. And most likely I wouldn't even for that.
ok, heres the deal, the day that u see a paladin in full teir 5 running at u in a BG, and u DONT shit ur pants, or run away, is the day that u other classes can call it "homosexual" until then, i think it's pretty badass.

where do you get it from?
Change the design and it looks EVEN BETTER!!
Blizzard really just needs new designers, how many crystal this and crystal that have you seen, Outland is way more diverse then to just be all about the crystal loving Dranei 
^^ that looks great :)

ok guys wake up here... people saying tier 4 is better then tier 5? well heres how i sum it up... I like most pally tnkas dont wear all the tier gear, reason being it lacks the defencsive stats.. sure we do need that spell damage but i can get that from a weap and the two pice i decide to wear of T gear... so stop comparing the sets mayb compare say the shuolders (one of the things oyu shuold be wareing) and see the tier 5 is just that much better
Re: Crystalforge Armor by wii8u, Score -0.51
Thats how paladins who reach Tier 5 are rewarded, with crappy looking set...only if you are lucky enought to reach Tier 6, you can get rid of of that shit, but hey, how many guilds per servers are raiding BT/Sunwell ? I guess most of us will have to stick that set into our ass, until next expansion, even during the beginning of the expansion, just so people can laugh even more for a while...
Lol, Mighty Morphin Pally Ranger.
Thanks Nyhm Seriously though the redesigned set above is freakin' awesome. Now if Blizzard would only redo the T5 tanking sets and actually give people incentive to down the T5 bosses more often, then it might not be as bad when everyone trades in their epics for greens in Wrath. Again, thanks Nyhm
Imho this set needs more avoidance. It sucks for main tanking and is in need of some dodge/parry
Here comes the heels, please tell me how they feels, when I cast my holy light, or bless you with some might. Lay Hands when you in trouble, or maybe some double bubble, baby you know I care, when I DI to save repair! I bring justice in the form of the hammer I wear T4 just for the glammor specced for kings just feels so right, 10% effectiveness for the night!
