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 [...]
For JC’s only, Solid Dragon’s Eye = 41 stam gem. JCs can use 3 of these and they are prismatic gems, meaning they match whatever color gem slot they are placed in, so they can be used to meet the socket bonus of the item.

Your Judgement spells have a 100% chance to grant the Replenishment effect to up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to 0.25% of their maximum [...]
On Sunday night, I tanked for the second time. I tanked slave pens so that I could finish up a quest that netted me 22k experience and some rep.
I’d like to get to honored with Sporeggar so that I can buy the best AoE grinding shield for pallys, the Petrified Lichen Guard! I only [...]
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 so [...]
