I'll start by saying my guild just got to Curator in Kara. We didn't kill him yet, but we have cleared Attumen, Moroes, the Opera, and Maiden. Looking forward to doing it all again on Tue.

That's funny, those were the last 2 things I needed from 5-mans before I got them. It took me until half-way to exalted with each until they dropped, hopefully it's not as hard for you.


Also, "all of this was done this Weed end"

glad you're tokin' up, makes the whole WoW experience that much more, sorry you're out of weed though :(

Something like that should be a hot-fix. Why wait for the patch?

Gratz Sideout!

And, no idea why Blizz is waiting for the patch, much less why they do ANYTHING they do, but I tested it out and instead of 4 damage with 245 +damage on, I deal 24. Woot!

As a palatank (secondary character) I've reached beeing uncrushable for about a month now.

Kara: I became honored with purple eye this WE, got the epic tank ring and the BS plans.

My gear is good enough for heroïcs, wich I need firstly for the libram. I try to upgrade my gear to work on stamina since I'm uncrushable... Last week I bought a Crystalforged sword and put a +40spell damage enchant on it. Threat boost is really a pleasure.

With those upgrades my pally seems to become really popular and wisped for instances... Specially to people doing Shattered Halls with her :)
I'd like to think it's just due to my talent, but I believe palatank is becoming more and more accepted and welcomed everywhere.

My solo gear needs a serious upgrade however, as the stamina on my tanking gear.
I'll work on it.

This isn't really very pally-related, other than the fact that I got it on my holy pally, but I finally got that %#*%ing Horseman to drop his helmet. Go me! ^_^

That laugh is SO AWESOME!!!

P.S. You know how they say third time's the charm? They're wrong, it's actually number 92. True story.

Well after reading a Rogue grinding strategy I decided to try it out myself.

Basically it's the 12-min BRD run, Disenchanting about 6 or 7 blues a run.

I tried doing it as prot in my dps gear, but I could only get to the 4th blue or so before time ran out.

So to test something out, I made a ret spec specifically designed for doing this kind of thing.

It worked pretty well, I can get to the 5th boss at almost the same rate as the rogue could, however I have a couple hiccups which makes things a little tough.

Problem: I don't have stealth, the rogue who does this has 2 places that he needs to stealth through.

Solution: I have both Lesser Invisibiliy and regular Invisibility potions. The cost of the potions are easily overshadowed by the profit of farming.

Problem: I can't pick-pocket the guy in the bar, so I have to get the guy drunk in order to activate the guard.

Solution: ? This is taking like 2 minutes from my time waiting for this guy, if any one knows how I can get around this that would be helpful.

Problem: There is one group I have to "stealth" by, however a good amount of the time they have a dog there that can see me.

Solution: ? If I use an invisibility potion after aggroing mobs, does it wipe aggro?


Anyway, I was quite impressed by the numbers I was putting out, getting about 900 dps when I blew my cooldowns, and my gear is really not that up to date. And the farming is going pretty well, got about 500g so far with only a couple hours of grinding.

invis pots cant be used in combat sadly. as an alchemist i would eat those all the time as an escape plan if i could. but i cant.

well, at least the lesser ones cant. never tried the normals.

Nice idea for a thread.

This week in Kara my guild downed the first five bosses in just about 3 hours leaving the rest for the weekend. Also saw a glove that wasn't the gloves of the fallen champion drop for first time in 5 five trips in.

Saw romulo and julianne again so still no epic cloak or helm yet. Ran steam vaults twice more to see the chain drop instead of the helm of penance. Did complete half the quest to get the two books so I can summon nightbane. Still waiting to see if we can get the others down besides the other three we down regularly now (prince, shade of aran and chess event).

I was able to finally get the heroic key for tempest keep and exalted with cenarion expedition.

Cool theard.

Well I got a 66 soon to be 67, 3 bars away. Been holy most of time and started doing AV a few weeks ago. Mainly cause a guildie asked for me to join in on the fun. Well the past few nights while doing it I've been in the top 10's for healing. I was pretty excited about that.

Hoping to finish Mana Tombs this weekend. Have gotten up to the Prince, last guy in the place. And we always wipe there. Have a warrior tank and he always loses aggro on him to the mage and warlock in the group. So our warrior tank in the guild got up 66 last night and hoping that he'll run it with us. So really hoping to pull that out.

Last week I was able to heal two different groups for the headless horseman and have no wipes as a lvl 65 holy paladin. It made quite proud that I was able to keep my group from wiping while only allowing a few deaths due to those mean pumpkin tenets. I also only went OOM on the first run, after which I learned how to better manage my mana regen vs. healing.

I manage to get the healing ring and spell caster ring all the while getting both the blue and purple brooms.

Well this weekend managed to get red riding hood cape, the X-52 Technician's helm after not seeing the Mask of Penance 3 more times. I think SV has it in for me. Spent a boat load of money finally getting the 300 riding skill and a Silver Riding Nether Ray. At Least now, I can go after the nether dragon mount. Otherwise getting closer to exalted with various factions.

I finally got into kara tonight and tanked midnight/moroes (OT) - OH at maiden - tanked juliet + curator.. the only drop I got (only plate btw) was the t4 gloves :D think its my best day ever! ^^

You could do the quest for the love potion, for the succy in the bar.

Congratulations, I'm glad you brought this up again. I was starting to get sad seeing it drop down the list, so I'll rate you up for resurrecting it.


In Paladin News.... I started up again over the winter break to make my 39 twink. I made a Dranei on Duskwood named Capjack (Lvl 12 now). That's chood's server so drop by if you want to say hey. Chood has been generous so far and gave me a little startup money (which I've already speant half of, but hey... I needed bags ><).

That's cool, what was it like fighting Illidan and Magtheridon?

Ah yeah... that's what I meant....

Tonight, I kited a Fel Reaver to Shattrath and had him die next to the flight master.

Didn't quite get him to land on TOP of the flight master, and thus, shut down all traffic out of Shattrath. I must try again!

I got mah charger the night before christmas!

son while i've been spending soo much time on my ret, my healadin was starting to collect dust. pulled him out friday, and i've been working on him again. cleared heroic mech today (first heroic clearedy). plan on continueing with the heroics till we finally get enough people keyed for kara. right now there's only about 5 of us. only 2 that are really geared for in and i'm getting very close. should have the Sha'tar mace in the next day or 2.

We work in reverse Capn Jack.

Obviously from my name I'm a rogue (and a terribly unoriginal one at that) and typically post on rogue forums. Why here, then? Why indeed...

So last week I started a Drae Pally. I've been lurking in your forums for a few days, trying to figure out a decent lvling build (did you know in your FAQ you guys never really come right out and say- LEVEL WITH THIS BUILD) and ...you know...questing and stuff.

My Pally is now a lvl 20 Ret. I, rather stupidly, put Talents into Parry instead of Crusader at first, so now my damage is somewhat paltry in comparison to what it could be.

I decided, at lvl 20, that I hated Kalimdor, Auberdine and the ridiculous travel required for most quests in Astranaar. So I made THE GREAT JOURNEY. You know what I'm talking about. Not Elites in Halo, I'm talking about the LONG $%(*&ing walk from Menathil to IF, then tramming to SW in order to eventually get to Darkshire.

Funny story: at the end of the quests in the Drae starter area, you get a decent 2-handed sword. I had been using maces up til then, so I started my journey to SW, figuring I'd be fine...

On the way through Loch I met up with a lvl 12 boar. This lvl 12 boar gave me a surprising amount of grief as I watched "Skill in Two Handed Swords up to 2...3...5...10..." as I'm battling (yeah, BATTLING something 8 lvls below me) a gnome warrior comes over and starts laughing at me. I down the boar, now at like 35 skill or something. I duel the lvl 15 warrior. I judge crusader, pop command (i think?) and crit him for 151+60ish holy, while Consecration was up. I then Hammered him, crit him again (which never happens- i have like a 5% crit chance), didn't proc so I judged for around 100. The gnome had no idea what happened. I had lost 25hp because he had gotten to swing once + rend (so around 75 total hp lost) and he had been destroyed.

His mother cried on Christmas day, knowing her son was nothing but a failure.

Gratz tool :) Not sure who is the responsible party (some reason I don't have the option to rate people anymore ... haven't for a while now), but regardless, it be an accomplishment.

While not giving a link to the build, I list out my recommendation for leveling in terms of talents below.

The only other good ones are the crafted Blessed Bracers but they can be expensive.

I'm using the Primal Surge Bracers which you can get in BM.

thank you capjack and chood. i'll look into those. i have a couple guildies who need to get through BM for the key, so maybe i'll just see if those drop. if not i'll look into the vindicator ones.
