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.

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. :)

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
