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 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. Solid Majestic Zircon = 30 stam blue gem, epic quality. [...]

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 [...]

Ghostcrawler has provided a list of the upcoming paladin changes, due out with the next content patch (source): We have already announced or suggested all of these changes would be forthcoming in the next minor content patch. I thought I would list them all in one place for ease of use. Divine Shield: Penalty changed [...]

I won’t hit on them all, I’ll only do two that I think are the largest issues. First off, rank 3 of Judgements of the Wise (JoTW) reads as: 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 [...]

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 [...]
