Battle of Chest Armour

Panzar'Thar Breastplate
Nightbane
Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian
75 Badges
Chestplate of Stoicism
100 Badges

For a paladin we want (or I want) the backup of knowing i have some type of spell damage added to my gear to fall back on, (without always having to bring wizard Oil as a guarantee of threat). 3 Gems slots in the Stoic Guardian, allows the flexability to add agility and stamina gems outside of the one blue socket, i'd have to check on that, but the 100 badges chest piece is very warrior biased, and only has 1 gem socket. I dont feel overly excited about the stats either, where you could gem up the stoic guardian a little close to it, the main thing missing is +35 spell damage. Nightbanes chest piece would be a good temp work around until i managed to get the stoic guardian.
