I find it more effective to level 'properly' I've managed to do 64 to 67 in a day. I just find it better to put the ?8.99 I pay to good use.:pp

Sometimes people prefer killing stuff that actually fight back:pp

I've pretty much been AV leeching the entire way, watching some Top Gear, cleaning my room, paying bills etc. and just making sure I don't go Inactive / AFK. :laugh:

:( Makes it hard for those of us who really just wanna play BG's when people are AFK / not helping.

This thread is approaching 500 pages, quite a feat. :p

[Lexcyn]

Indeed, I just got back into the game after hearing about Cataclysm. I cannot wait for the new/old world updates. It's going to be sweet.

Now I just have to get my pally to 80. I'm currently 79. I retired my 80 mage because it got really boring. :p

Touch? my pet still has more sense than his team mates though. ;D:pp

Makes you wonder if there'll ever be a new version of this thread. Must be hard to find stuff in it. :p

Edit: Looks like I was the lucky person to send this thread to 500.

I'm still on page 188 :whistle:

I'm actually quite disappointed in the Death Knight's PvP abilities at level 80. I've never had so many problems with that many classes! Despite being well equipped, their damage is quite poor ... Well, the damage is good based off 'damage done' meters but that's mostly due to Blood Boil, D&D etc. doing some decent damage to a single target in PvP is pretty average. I also can't believe how out-classed they are ability wise compared to all the new abilities from other classes. I mean, what's this crap with hunters being able to jump back 50ft, Death Grip wasted and then you can get stunned, dazed, slowed and whatnot.

Warrior's whirlwind effect thingy is insane, every.single.warrior uses that thing and it's CONSTANTLY, honestly I don't blame them but jesus christ. Most druids are resto these days, they just jump in tree form and are impossible to kill unless you have some serious DPS, it's a joke! Just keeps going like this with classes, so annoying - I miss the old days.

I've seen so much DK whine but at 80, my god they are pathetic, even seen fellow very well equipped DKs struggle with a lot of classes because of all their 'defences' - I feel like rolling a Huntard ...

After my computer screwing me over on firefighter, I got revenge...

[Spookie]

Grats having done that once and forced to do it twice more. I can only sympathize on how difficult and time consuming that fight is. :p :)

[Spookie]

If 1 light took more than 5 attempts I'd be surprised. :p

[Slane]

I never knew you had alliance toons Adamb.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a Protection Paladin build, mainly focused on 'recently dinged' and slowly starting to do Heroics, could anyone link me a decent tanking build? I've seen quite a few floating around but many of them are aimed at high-end raiding, weird mutation builds or filled with people complaining points are wasted in this, that, X, Y and Z.

So I'd love some suggestions and perhaps some tanking tips, best rotations under which circumstances, what to go for etc. perhaps an internet guide somewhere would be much appreciated =)

Found this through the MMO-Champion forums, in the prot-pala FAQ; http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?paladin#faNrOG-eJ6mrK,,9901 - How does that look?

Looks good to me (Y)

I have a prot pally but I haven't played him in a while. But that build is either very similar or the same to his.

[Ambroos]

I never get why everyone keeps using those specs from every site. Okay, it's a good base, but in the end I think it's more important to get something you like to play with.

For example Sethos, in the build you linked I couldn't see the use in all the extra crit.

When you're doing Heroics first thing you'll have to cope with is crappy healers and taking too much damage. Having enough threat as a protection paladin is really easy and the bonus crit really doesn't have a use.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sVZE0thbuMGsIufdEb will keep you alive for a longer time and still provide a nice amount of damage because of Seals of the Pure in the holy tree.

[Sethos]

Oh I really like that build Ambroos I do have a suggestion / question - Would it be unwise to move the 5 points from Benediction and move them to toughness instead? I mean, as far as I know and have read, mana isn't really a problem for a protadin and thought it would be better with more armour?

[KZWings]

I agree, except move the 5 points from Benedictions (Retribution) over to Toughness (Protection)

I enjoy the protection paladin. Here's mine:

Oh damn I missed that one :D Yea you're right on that. I haven't been playing since a month anymore now and it's all starting to become a little vague + I was one of the mad guys who decided to go tanking with a paladin in TBC, still got some leftovers from that era :p

* and oh yea, try running some Trial of the Champion normal 'till you get the simply awesome Stamina trinket.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Yes, mana should not be an issue for you. Remember to use Divine Plea before every pull (when it's not on CD). With Guarded By The Light & Divine Plea, you're constantly regenerating mana during the whole fight. It's absolutely awesome and there are very few times you will need to drink.

[Lexcyn]

OK so what is up with people asking you for what achievements you have to join PuG's?? WTF? If this seriously is the way this game is going I'm going to quit again. :(
