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 [...]

There was a sweet enchant on the PTR named Titanguard. In it’s original design it was a weapon enchant that gave 75 stamina. It was changed to be a 50 stam enchant. The mats were relatively cheap in my opinion, 4 dream shards and 1 titanium bar. Now it appears that Blizzard has removed it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In the very near future, I will be switching from ret to prot. When dual specs are implemented, I’ll be prot and ret (possibly prot and holy). I have a very decent set of tanking gear (including the Bolstered Legplates from Heroic Violet Hold). I just got the 16 expertise JC pattern,  the Precise Scarlet [...]

I dumped 375 skinning and picked up jewelcrafting the day before Wrath of the Lich King was released. A LOT of people told me that I was stupid for doing that. Some pointed out that I should have waited until I accrued enough money to level JC from 1-375 in one day. I can agree [...]

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 logged in this past Saturday with an invite to an Alliance city raid. I had just respecced to prot and I didn’t yet have my Titansteel Shield Wall. I was the ONLY tank in the raid at the time so by default, I was the maintank! I only had 17.8k health and 535 defense. [...]

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 [...]

Quoting Ghostcrawler (source – from blue.mmo-champion.com cuz I’m not going to dig through 25 pages of paladin QQ to find the original GC update): I made some clarifications to my initial post. You can use Hand of Protection during the internal cooldown, just not on yourself. The idea is to prevent the paladin from being [...]
