For a Ret Pally mostly soloing through WotLK content [lvl 72]

What is generally the best seal?
What are the best glyphs for doing so?

For leveling I used SoC with the SoC glyph and Judgement glyph, and used JoW except when I had to solo hard hitting elites, and then switched to JoL. That would be my suggestion, but to each their own.

Misery and Draenei aura is 4% hit if I'm not mistaken, that might explain a lot if its right!

No, the talents are specified to spell hit only. +hit is not the same for everyone now, +hit rating is the same.

However, while talking about spells hitting, I was wondering if Judgement still counted as a spell, in which case, does the value on hit that go down when you hit the melee cap or is it still very important?

Judgement is a ranged ability. (Check patch notes for 3.0).

It should be governed by ranged hit, which is the same % as your melee hit.

I've been using Blood/Martyr with Judgement and CS glyph and has been great so far (75)

Most mobs die within a single cycle of judge/CS/DS for me

Question:
When Divine Guardian is active, does the paladin take the redirected damage (despite the shield), or is the paladin immune to the redirected damage (effectively causing a 30% mitigation for his teammates without additional healing burden)? (Wowhead's comments are inconclusive on the subject...)

When Bubble is up, you take 30% of the damage of your teammates. Since bubble is damage immunity, you will be safe.

I know it's been said in different threads, but I'm getting confused; What's the defense cap? Is it 540 or 690? I've seen in the warrior part of the forums that it's been said to be 690. But I've got another rilable source saying it's "only" 540... To much for my pea-sized brain you know !!

• frmorrison · 11/24/08, 7:16 PM

540 Defense is the cap vs a boss. This requires 690 defense rating on your gear.

For a 5-man, 535 Defense is the cap.

EDIT: Ignore this post. I'm dumb. Sorry.

Fight-specific. He leaves a cloud that reduces your chance to hit significantly if you stay in it.

Probably an overly simple question. Which meta gem is better for ret raid dps?
[Chaotic Skyflare Diamond]
or
[Relentless Earthsiege Diamond]

Or is there a meta I have missed thats better then those two?

I'm wondering because I'm a jewelcrafter and don't want to waste daily tokens buying the sub-par design early on. And seeing as I'm asking are [Titanium Impact Band] and [Titanium Impact Choker] worth the effort? I know the agility is not bad but I'm not particularly taken by it or the ArP.

Kigale · 11/25/08, 3:21 AM

Crit rating would be better than agility I'd say. But when you factor in the requirements it could be pretty close since orange is better than purple.

Hi there, I've been testing last night my healing spec, I'm 73 at the moment and have 1045 spell power, 29% Holy Crit. I've the Glyph of Holy Light and use the Beacon of Light on my tank. I've done Holy Light non-crit heals of 6k-7k, that cause 600-700 heals on my group, but I've also noticed that "some" of the crit heals of 10k on tank also heal the entire group 6k-7k, that's awesome!

I think it's some kind of bug, as it doesn't work always, I'd like to add a screenshot of the moment, but It was my first time in that instance and I didn't realized it until this morning.
