Paladin Shadow Resistance for Mount Hyjal and Black Temple

There are some fights early on in Mount Hjyal and Black Temple that can benefit from some shadow resistance gear if you are a healer. I don't care about anyone else :)

AnEnema and Kaz'Rogal in Mount Hyjal spring to mind right now.

Enough shadow resistance for these should be provided by the Medallion of Karabor(+40 SR) (a reward late in the Black Temple attunement chain) and by a crafted cloak called Night's End(+40 SR) with the +15 SR enchant on it. Top this 95 up with a Shadow Resistance Aura (+70 SR) and you have 165 Shadow Resistance.

Later on however everyone in the raid will need a hefty chunk of shadow resistance for the Mother Sharaz encounter. Being capped at 365 is probably best.

For paladins the gear required is:

Shadesteel Bracers (+40 SR)
2 Primal Life
2 Primal Shadow
4 Adamantite Bars
1 Void Crystal
1 Heart of Darkness

Shadesteel Girdle (+54 SR)
3 Primal Life
4 Primal Shadow
8 Adamantite Bars
1 Void Crystal
2 Heart of Darkness

Shadesteel Greaves (+72 SR)
4 Primal Life
6 Primal Shadow
12 Adamantite Bars
1 Void Crystal
3 Heart of Darkness

Shadesteel Sabots (+54 SR)
2 Primal Life
4 Primal Shadow
4 Adamantite Bars
1 Void Crystal
2 Heart of Darkness

For a total of:
16 Primal Shadow
11 Primal Life
28 Admantite Bars
4 Void Crystals
8 Heart of Darkness

Along with your enchanted cloak and the Medlaiion of Karabor this will give you a whopping 315 Shadow Resistance! Without shadow resistance buffs. So stick Prayer of Shadow Protection(Rank 2) top of that and you are at 385 - actually 20 over the cap. You can now lose the cloak enchant in favour of something more useful.
