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 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 [...]

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 [...]

I normally don’t give a damn about incoming changes, so long as the class is still fun to play but this latest batch is a killer in my opinion.  From the forums, here is the nerf post (source). I know many of you asked good questions before the posts hit their limit. I am not [...]

I finally dinged level 70 on my paladin Sunday morning! I had a lot of spell upgrades, including Blessing of Might, Rank 8 and Avenging Wrath! My pally finally has her wings! It seems like I’ll have to wait for boss fights and/or soloing elites to use them though, since I seem to blow through [...]

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 [...]
