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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Well, the 3% free hit from precision has been removed from all that were effected by it. Zharhym posted about it in the forums (source). During the transition from patch 2.4.3 to 3.0.3 the following talents were not unlearned properly by some players, resulting in those players still gaining the benefits despite the talents no [...]
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 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 [...]
