Protection Paladin Tier 7 Set

A quick overview.
10-man: Heroes’ Redemp­tion Plate
Chest — Gloves — Helm — Legs — Shoul­ders
25-man: Val­or­ous Redemp­tion Plate
Chest — Gloves — Helm — Legs — Shoul­ders
There isn’t much of a dif­fer­ence between them. But I don’t want to dis­cuss about that.
What con­cerns me are two things:

the looks;
4-piece set bonus;

Power ranger 2.0
I didn’t play pre-TBC so I’m not a fan­boi of […]

Talent Build Dilemma

I was ran­domly brows­ing WoW blogs and I saw a link towards a site I stum­bled upon some time ago and liked but for­got the name/address. The site is talentchic.com
It’s basi­cally a site that scans the armory for builds and then lists the most pop­u­lar ones, divided by classes and specs. It’s very nifty and […]

A question for all tanks

Tank­ing is hard, we all know it. You’re eighter good or your bad, you’re never “ok”. There’s no “aver­age”.
We take hits and we love it. We have high repair bills and we don’t com­plain. Some of us even tank with their face.
Of all the char­ac­ters in a raid, we’re the most hated because we have […]

DPS is not a lie anymore">Tankadin DPS is not a lie anymore

Kinda. It’s improper to say “DPS” because we still make neg­li­gi­ble dam­age when in a raid, but while questing/grinding it has greatly improved.
I want you to look at the fol­low­ing pic­tures from my combat log.

In the first two you see me doing a round 4800 Holy crit with Shield of Right­eous­ness. In the […]

Barbed Gill Trout

Barbed Gill Trout
Noth­ing spe­cial about it, just another bor­ing fish. Right?
WRONG! Check out the screen­shot on wowhead:

Now tell me that doesn’t remind you of BRK. With­out the moustache.

This. Wins.

The day of Wrath has come

Game installed, account upgraded. Time for fun.
Good luck everyone!

Path of a Hero — Live the journey; share the legend

I came across a great site I want to share with you (or bet­ter put, some­one tipped me off about a week ago, but I for­got to post about it, much to my shame).
What is pathofahero.com?
pathofahero.com
It has some inter­est­ing features:

Make entries in your jour­nal that include:

an image of your char­ac­ter
a snap­shot of your stats and items
an optional […]

The current WotLK Paladin Protection tree is broken

Kinda, at least in my opin­ion. So stick with me and try to fol­low.
The prob­lem with Pro­tec­tion Pal­adins
I was play­ing around with the tal­ent cal­cu­la­tor when I stum­bled on a prob­lem that I faced many times: reach­ing our 51-points tal­ent doesn’t feel right when only tak­ing PvE tal­ents. I know, it sounds weird but try […]

Protection Paladins — still top choice for tanking

At least accord­ing to my read­ers.
Almost two months ago, I asked a very sim­ple ques­tion:
When doing nor­mal or heroic 5-mans, what tank do you pre­fer?
The results are as follows:

I’m very glad we won by such a big mar­gin. It gives me con­fi­dence our role has vastly improved and we have a great future ahead of us.
Thanks […]
