The Hyjal Tanking ring is nothing great.

The Hyjal tanking ring is great for warriors given the limited choices available. In T6 and above content there's really just the TK trash drop, Supremus, and then Hyjal one to pick one. All the ones with +armor are pretty garbage (and it's stupid that they added yet another one to the new epic badge vendor).

There's also the ring from the third chest in the ZA timed event (stam, block, and shield block). Plus, nobody said you have to get the tanking ring

If we ever get some blessed bands of karabor to drop (never seen one) or the Sunwell JC pattern I'll be swapping my Hyjal exalted ring for the lol-dps one to level with. It might not be ideal gear for your class or spec, but it's a great way to get reasonably high quality leveling/farming gear.

Hi!

I made it to lvl 70 with my Paladin a few months ago and went into starting other characters right away. Now I've turned my focus back on my Paladin. At first I was a little lost as what to do. After doing some rep-reward research I have a gameplan to increase my rep with some factions to get better healing stats.

Is there a guide somewhere for what kind of healing stats are needed for a Paladin for each instance?

Here is my character:

What level 70 instances should I be running with those stats, and which ones are out of my league? Is there any online reference for this? I have about 660 bonus to healing (my headpiece healing gear was not on when I logout last). Thanks!

Heal, Crit, MP5: after 1.3k +heal and 20% crit you sould be fine to do any small-group content in the game.

Your paladin has roughly the same quality of gear that my my priest did when he hit 70 (still mostly in Tier 2/2.5 with benediction). I was able to solo heal every normal instance and a few of the the "pre-nerf" heroic dungeons. You'd be well served by hitting the AH for a few "of the" healing items, tossing some green-quality gems into your gear, and picking up some of the cheap enchants ('6 mp5 chest, int to bracers) to help you go a little further. There are a handful of quest rewards worth picking up too: check wowhead.com.

can someone tell me if the 2.4 patch affected a lot of addons or was it just a few ones that it affected?

I stopped playing a week or 2 before the patch but I just started my vacation so I was thinking of playing again on my off time and wondered if I should be prepared to update a crap load of the addons or not.

Thanks.

DEFINATELY need to update all your addons.. 2.4 did change some stuff, especially combat log, and damage done things etc..

Alot of mods, (if you use ace2 mods) have changed their dogtags (which is the code that tells the mod what information to display) which means that alot of them don't work until you update them.

Just get WUU - http://wuu.vagabonds.info/menu.php

It does all the updating for you, spanning over whatever sites you got your addons from!

Can anyone tell me what the billing name is for paying on a debit card on the European servers?

Hopefully that makes sense :p

Mine normally shows up as BLIZZARD.COM BLIZZARD ENT*WOW. I hope that's what you were looking for.

So did my first raid last night with new guild and since GTAIV. Finished out kara, one shotting, spite/hoof/prince/nightbane, with 2 deaths on prince. Myself and another melee DPS turned around to run away from Enfeeble and infernal dropped in front of us, killing us instantly. Flying through making good time, learning the new people. We got to maiden and absolutly got destroyed by here. Bad positioning, is what really killed us, so had to two shot her. Got the breastplate off prince, so my 100 badges going to the legs first.

Then we jumped over to ZA to do Lynx boss. I was the OT sitting at 19.khp (highest ever). First shot healing assingments were wrong so I got no heals after cleave. Second time doing good, on the last spirit phase and I dced, came back in with him sitting at 10%, me at 1k health. So I popped Last Stand and Shield Wall, other tank still full health. No deaths. It was awesome. :)

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.
