How to Update Omen (and Other Ace Mods) Like a Pro

I would imagine I am probably not alone in having guildmates that have troubles keeping their Omen up to date, especially with the complete rewrite that Antiarc had to do to accommodate the new combat log in Patch 2.4. In fact, every guild that I've been a part of has a decent number of people who just flat out don't update, can't get the Ace Updater configured correctly, or get frustrated by their mods having mismatched libraries on patch day.

Thus this article was born. Herein...

The Grand Shockadin Experiment

Alternate title: My feeble attempt to get a Brutal Gladiator's Gavel for my Prot set.

I really hate names that end with an "-adin' suffix. Every time I hear a new one it conjures up memories of those unoriginal bastards who "invented" Diablo II Paladin builds, all of which were pretty much identical in principle and all of which were named: (Name of Primary Skill)-adin.

Conventional Retribution wisdom sets us on a pretty clear path on how we ought to gear ourselves: go for hit rating until you reach 95, then stack strength, crit rating, and enough stamina not to die. Attack power and agility will do in sufficient quantities, too. Intellect, mana regeneration, and spell damage are usually distractions.

As a result of this conventional wisdom, we often overlook some amazing items that don't fit neatly into our little stat equivalency chart. Most...

At this stage in the game, most of us get a good laugh at the almost assuredly awful Protection Paladins who run around using Warrior tanking weapons. They're usually the type that can only do Slave Pens and the Mechanar – but not Nethermancer Sepethrea, because she's "hard". We cringe when we join a group on our alts and we get one of them, because it invariably means that your connection is going to "drop" before the first boss, or that the police are at your door and you...
