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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been trying to write a new post regarding some of the new gear I’ve been receiving as a result of running more and more heroics but everytime I try, I get new gear and it screws up my post ever so slightly! This happened to me again last night! I ran two heroics and [...]

I respecced to prot over the weekend because I really liked tanking instances. I wanted to get to the 540 defense rating that makes you uncrittable by raid bosses 3 level over you (i.e. level 83). I was looking to get as close to that number as possible with the tanking gear that I’ve been [...]

I grabbed a few more points in jewelcrafting now, up to 280. It’s not nearly complete and has already cost me around 750g. I’ve sold off a lot of my Cobalt Ore and have another 1k gold to blow on mats. I’ve got quite a few gems to cut for skill-up points, when/if they are [...]

So I was doing Violet Hold and we wiped a few times. My wife was having issues with our kids so I took the second wipe as a sign to get my ass off of the computer and help out with dinner. I logged out as a ghost. I logged back in as a ghost [...]

Wrath of the Lich King leveling is insanely easy! I started out in  Howling Fjord. After I finished that zone, I went to the other starting zone, Borean Tundra, to do the quests there, since I figured they would be easy XP for me. That was a great idea if I have to say so [...]

I logged in this morning to do my Isle dailies and noticed after the first few fights that I was out of mana! I’ve never had this problem before on my paladin, since the 3.0.2 patch anyways. I ate/drank and got all of my health and mana back and started paying attention to the numbers [...]

Blizzard released patch 3.0.2 for WoW yesterday and am I glad that I finally started leveling my paladin again!! The servers were all supposed to be up at 5pm EST yesterday but there were lots of issues from what I’ve read. I had family stuff to do so I didn’t notice any problems until I [...]

I tanked The Underbog last night. It was my first attempt at tanking and it was a lot of fun! There were 3 wipes for reasons that I felt were my own. Two wipes on a pull between bosses 2 and 3, just before the hunter boss. I had to respec to prot last night [...]
