Ding!

Monday, December 8th, 2008

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 [...]

Stuck in a well…in Dalaran

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

So I was doing Violet Hold and we wiped a few times. My wife was having issues with our kids so I took the second wipe as a sign to get my ass off of the computer and help out with dinner.
I logged out as a ghost. I logged back in as a ghost and [...]

Professions and spell lists - interesting links

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

There are a few interesting links that I’d like to point out.  One is from the  wowhead blog. It is part one of a three part series on leveling the secondary trade skills: cooking, fishing and first aid. The second link is from a wow-related site that I very rarely, save this one aspect since [...]

My opinion on the upcoming paladin changes

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

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 [...]

Upcoming paladin changes

Monday, November 24th, 2008

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 so that [...]

Wrath of the Lich King

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

The expansion is out! I haven’t picked it up yet but I will tonight after work. I’m excited to play all the new content and the new instances. I have heard that death knights are steam rolling much higher level toons. I’m going to roll one for the times when I get tired of leveling [...]

New gear

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

My paladin finally got exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive this morning. As soon as I became exalted, I bought two shields, the Dawnforged Defender (for tanking) and the Sunward Crest (for healing) and I bought three amulets, the Shattered Sun Pendant of Might for retribution and the Shattered Sun Pendant of Acumen for healing and [...]

Paladin hotfixed, again

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

I logged in this morning to do my Isle dailies and noticed after the first few fights that I was out of mana! I’ve never had this problem before on my paladin, since the 3.0.2 patch anyways. I ate/drank and got all of my health and mana back and started paying attention to the numbers [...]

What’s the big deal with ret pally nerfs?!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

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 their maximum [...]

More paladin nerfs incoming

Monday, October 27th, 2008

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 convinced [...]
