I don’t have a lot of time to comment on these changes at the moment, but here they are, from mmo-champion. All paladins auras had their range extended from 30 yards to 40 yards. Holy Sacred Shield now cannot be on more than one target at any one time. Infusion of Light no longer has [...]
I just saw this on mmo-champion tonight: Protection Divine Protection: Cooldown reduced to 3 min. The current CD is 5 minutes! This can be talented down to (2 points in Sacred Duty) 4 minutes but down to 3 and I’m assuming talented, it will be down to two minutes? That’s a HUGE change and very [...]

The PTR has patch 3.1 on it. You can copy your character over and start your testing now. Now for patch note greatness (source)… General Players at maximum level will now be able to visit their trainer to pay a one-time fee and access the dual talent specialization feature. (1000 gold) A new Gear Manager [...]
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 foundĀ a group, let them know [...]

This is truly awesome! The first we’ve officially heard about dual specs and positive confirmation that it will be in the next patch (3.1). All of the information is very new and will take some time to digest. Here is the Q&A source. Below is the quoted text. Talent Dual Spec Q&A with Ghostcrawler With [...]
Here are the gems and enchants that are relevant to tanking. This is from my limited prot pally point of view. I don’t know what gems or enchants the other tanks need but I’m sure that most are the same. Enchants Head Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector revered with Argent Crusade Shoulders Greater Inscription of [...]
The announced changes seem to be prot-pally related, for the most part (source). Blessing of Kings – this spell is now a base ability trainable by all paladins. Blessing of Kings being a baseline talent is AWESOME. This is something the pally community has been raving about for ages. Exorcism – this spell now causes [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
