I have been putting it off for a while now but I finally did it, I ran my first (and second) heroic dungeons over the weekend.
It started out with a very fast run through regular Halls of Lightning (HoL). I got two very good dps upgrades, hands (Fists of Loken) and shoulders (Pauldrons of the [...]
Woot!! This was one annoying ass bug!!
Judgement bug fixed
Okay, we think we have been able to isolate this bug and put in a fix that prevents Judgements from failing any longer. Assuming a little more testing supports this conclusion we plan on hotfixing this.
Sorry you had to endure it for so long. (Source)
In case you [...]
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 [...]
This is a big-time buff patch for ret pallys. Below are the patch notes. The only nerf I see is noted in red below. This change should really only effect Holy paladins since they are the only spec that should be stacking int (and therefore, their max mana is not the same and their base [...]
This is my gear wishlist. Most of the gear is easily obtainable. The ideas are coming from MaxDPS.com. This list does not include any badge gear, any heroic 5-man gear or any 10/25-man gear. Put another way, this is only 5-man regular dungeon/crafted/quest/drop gear.

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 [...]
My pally dinged 80 on Friday! Yay!!
Now I get to start working on leveling up jewelcrafting and eventually cooking. I just got my mining to 450 this morning and that means that I can start to craft some Titansteel Bars! My first goal will be the Spiked Titansteel Helm, followed by the Titansteel Destroyer.
The Spiked [...]
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 able to [...]
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 myself! [...]
Divine Shield: Penalty changed so that all damage done is reduced by 50% instead of a attack speed penalty.
1) Divine Protection no longer causes an attack penalty. Divine Shield’s penalty was changed to 50% less damage done by the paladin.
This is fine in my opinion. I’ve always thought it was too OP to bubble and [...]
