So due the greatness that is dual-speccing, I’m a new holy pally with better than average new holy pally gear. I have only one piece of blue gear (my shoulders) and no green gear at all. In the LFG channel, I nervously click the “I are healer” checkbox since it’s sort of a misnomer when [...]

Patch 3.1 is finally live. The servers were down all day and most of the night (for me, on the east coast). I guessed the servers would come up around 10pm EST and from what I saw, I was mostly right. I checked at 9 and my server was down. I checked again at 11:30ish [...]
I just cancelled my account. Since I’m paying 3months at a time, I still have game time until May 25th.
A major reason for my cancelling my account can best be summed up by Kadomi’s post. Being a casual player, I don’t have a big chance to improve my primary character beyond where she is.
I still [...]
Is crazy high, not as high as some deathknight tanks I’ve run with before, but it’s pretty damn high.
A few nights ago, I set a personal best, in Heroic Utgarde Keep with 1776 dps, as a tank.
Then last night, UK was the heroic daily again! So I found a group, let them know that I [...]

Last night, I was a part of a 25-man OS pug. I was uber-buffed – over 5k AP and just over 36% crit. Here is a screen shot I took just before were going to attempt Sarth.
Here are some other screenies of Dessara in her prot gear, with the Red Sword of Courage and it’s [...]

I’ve been very busy since my last post. Between the time 3.0.8 went live and now, I’ve been running heroics and leveling jewelcrafting and also doing somethings I never thought I would do – raid 25-man Naxx and 25-man Obsidian Sanctum.
The 25-man Naxx/OS runs were very fun. I was the 3rd tank or the off-tank [...]

The only thing that I didn’t like about tanking H Gundrak was that I felt I has too little health. Then I remembered I could make one of the stamina-oriented trinkets that jewelcrafters can make, the Monarch Crab and I would still be above the raid crit cap of 540 defense!
I added a Solid Sky [...]

This past weekend was a great weekend for my pally. I got a quite a few achievements, raided Naxxramas as ret (I actually left with four drops) and I bit the bullet and respecced prot and tanked my first WotLK instance, a heroic one at that!
Naxx
I raided Naxx with my guild on Friday and Saturday [...]

I put on my prot gear this morning, got a Frosthide Leg Armor kit filled in the empty gems slots green gem slots I had and logged out before work. When I left home, I was sitting at just under 20k health.
I want my health to be 24,000 unbuffed. I’ve been looking over the spreadsheet [...]
I created a spreadsheet over at Google Docs so that I can just modify the spreadsheet as my situation changes and this post will be automatically updated as the spreadsheet is changed. Seems simple and efficient, right?
This is all pre-raid gear since who know when I’ll step foot in Naxx, if ever. There are also [...]
