Night Elf female shoulder pieces are too separate from each other in the new models, looks very weird and like male draenei shoulders.

Good morning, long time reader first time poster

I really like to tank, however i would really like to start using a block set. I personally love tanking things and getting hit for an ammount everytime (midigation tanking obvi) instead of avoiding things and shitting a brick when i do (avoidence tanking). With 3.2, is my personal love of midigation tanking now worth it or even possible?

Thanks for the help guys!

Under the Living Bomb entry, change unique = true to unique = false and Scorchio will track multiple LB's just fine.

Big thanks

This is what I have been using so far and it works pretty well - the game automatically prevents re-application of living bomb so you can mouseover mobs and just spam your LB key to get them all lit up.

Thanks a lot.

I have not been able to make up my mind.

Granted we did zero raids last night due to everyone being dependent upon addons.

But in heroics alone I was probably down 500-800 dps lower across the board. This is going with SoR on trash, SoV on bosses. Tried SoV entire instance, etc.

I guess I can say I am limited to 3300 in heroics now (3700 was my lowest in 3.1). I am hoping the loss won't be the same in raiding. We'll see that tonight.

I don't recall seeing a 5 stack of SoV on any heroics boss hardly at all. Maybe 5 out of 6 or 7 heroics last night.

Since I haven't read it in this thread yet, I just wanted to briefly make a remark on how easy the AoE rotation for 0/53/18 seems to be. Using normal glyphs for this spec (IT,FS and OB), all you have to do is swap one BS with a Pestilence and two OB's with two HB's.

AoE Rotation:

IT,PS,Pestilence,BS,HB,FS,FS
OB,FS,OB,HB,FS

You can simply switch back to single target rotation when appropriate.

Hello all, Great guide... Cathela!

Like many I had things come up in life and had to take a break from WoW around dec 2008. I used to raid pre wotlk:

BT/Hyjal/ZA

I was the main prot pally tank for Hyjal doing full clears, and then converting to RET for archi. In BT I was mostly spec'd RET.

My question is I am mostly in Badge/T6/Crafted, Mixed gear, but very good over all prot and ret set.

How do I convert from a PRE wotlk Paladin to a WOTLK pally... and do it smoothly? they changed so much I have been trying to catch up but fell so far behind any advice would be great.

Armory: Ret set is on right now.
The World of Warcraft Armory

I am currently reading as many posts as possible and its a mass brain dump of information to try and take in.

Can I get by with my pre wotlk gear? for atleast up to 80? and then start picking up and replacing pieces or are the blues in the gear section really much better. Wish I logged off in my tank suit. Will have to do that later.

Great guide,
Serinia

Reading the first page and even the page before this would provide the answer. However I'll provide you a link to exactly what you're interested in knowing.

The Protection Paladin Field Manual (WoW-3.0/WotLK)

Look for "Quick and Dirty Level 80 Gear Set"

Ya I figure some of my gear would be needed to be upgraded especially my main hand, I think I am using the one from Hyjal that we used to put +40 spellpower on.

However my T6 has some great stats on it, but defiantely not good enough to be tanking anything in the 76-80 dungeons. What Ill probably do is side by side comparisons as well as try and acquire the gear listed in the "quick and dirty" I missed so much of the theory crafting side of wotlk but its fun trying to play catch up as well.

Thx.

Where is this posted officially that SoV does partial weapon dmg per stack? The only place I've been able to find this stated is here.

Where were you looking? It's in the official patch notes that were released with the patch yesterday.

Seal of Vengeance and Seal of Corruption: These seals have been redesigned. Only auto-attacks and Hammer of the Righteous can place the debuff on the paladin's current target(s). However, while the seal is active, each melee swing or ability (excluding judgements) that lands on the target will deal a percentage of weapon damage as Holy damage to the target. This damage maxes out at 33% weapon damage with 5 applications of the debuff and scales upward evenly based on how many applications of the debuff are active. This Holy damage deals double-damage critical strikes. In addition, the damage-over-time debuff is now considered a melee attack for the purposes of determining its chance to hit, miss, be dodged or parried.

I ended up putting up 35 stacks of Ore at 299g a stack before patch on Monday. Sold 75% before the server went down. Sold the rest before I was able to log back on.

Checked the AH and the only stacks that are there are selling for 600g a stack. Who knows if people will be stupid enough to actually buy it.

I ended up making enough to instantly get my alt DK flying, artisan flying, and northrend flying all in one shot. Proceded to fly around Northrend collecting herbs and mining, while discovering and getting 2k discovery exp for each area. Leveled up for my efforts and have a ton of mats to sell tonight.

Dumb question I'm sure, I assume Vindication works on any mob now? Prior to the changes this patch it would not work on any mobs of significance. (bosses in heroics, bosses in raids)
