    I know that feel. I really enjoy druid healers, probably for that reason. From tanking perspective, I don't have a problem with Holy Paladins, but the rest of the group might. I agree with the AoE sentiment for Holy, it just isn't quite there. I did swap my ret spec for Holy yesterday and...

    Are folks actively avoiding Paladin heals? Was thinking of popping over to Holy for a bit to try it out, but if it is better to just level my druid up I may have to do that.

    I got my DK to 100 before swapping over to Pally so I have been banking tons (relatively). Pretty much full garrison level 3 buildings for the ones that I care about. Also have around 4 - 5 scavengers. I started dumping GR into my bunker yesterday. Three orders completed last night, got...

    Yes, that was the impression that I got from that scene. I don't think she actually meant to shoot and then suddenly realized she was boned.

    Blizzard should find a way to keep the garrison servers online during world maintenance. Would give people an outlet while they fumble around with...whatever they are doing right now.

    I found this invaluable on my Prot Paladin. I am going to look to replicate it for most of my classes. This guy put together pretty much everything you need to know about on a Paladin into the center. WeakAuras Strings | Sacred Duty

    Speaking of swimming in GR, there is another way you can be swimming in it. Make sure to get your alts at least through the opening sequence. You can collect up to 500 GR in your bucket that has to be retrieved every couple of days. Even if you aren't going to play that alt, it could be worth...

    Ended up getting Meatball tonight (Nibbleh can suck it as a ret paladin). He rolled danger zones as well as the bonus for missions over 7 hours along with under 7 hours. Figured I would try and use the re-cert on him because I had it. Turned him into a Reckless / Massive Strike / Orcslayer /...

    CCing does not pull anymore. You CC, the rest of the mobs don't care. The only skill that is 'intelligent' around CC is Avenger's Shield that I was able to tell. I think that is because it bounces between 'valid' targets. All my cleaves (hammer of the righteous, etc) break CC.

    Purely anecdotal between my DK and Paladin. Overall, mitigation seemed similar. However, on my DK my health bar was a roller coaster of emotion up and down. Also had a bunch of buttons for survival cooldowns, etc. Probably fairly stressful for the healer. With my paladin, it seems like a...

    Not sure of your Nagrand progression, but stop whatever you are doing, build a Dwarven War Mill (or horde equivilent), and then finish out the rares, quests, and proving grounds. You can hope for some random epic upgrades which can help quite a bit. Go do the epic ring quest if you haven't...

    Haste isn't that hot for a Pally tank either. I stack bonus armor / mastery more or less. The rest ends up being Crit or Versatility depending on what drops. Over the course of 1 week, Heroics went from being pretty cautious affairs, lots of CC and such, to near chain pulling. I think the...

    I am not really sure I understand how my body works any more. Around the end of October, I upped my calorie intake per day (1900 > 2100) as a the primary site I use for projecting loss recommended so minimize muscle loss. When I was eating 1900 calories / day I was dropping approximately 1.25...

    I was just going to mention this as well. My alt has 20 followers between 95-99. Now that they are all in the same 'tier' I seem to be getting missions more slowly. Only have of my dudes are active at any given time. It is really annoying as I was determined to level them 'right' this time...

    First day of tracking Salvage / Missions. I have two characters right now. One has L3, the other L2. I don't have a large sample set because half of my data just tracked missions vs crates and then I started to track missions success / failure and crate return. Results 16 L3 Missions...

    I just upgrade my Salvage Yard to L3 this morning. I will report back with what I have found. What I will say is that, since upgrading, I have gotten around 20 - 30% Big Salvage Crate reward rate and a 0% Salvage Crate reward rate. I may have read it wrong, but I thought I was supposed to get...

    Any opinions on status of tanks in WoD atm? I got my DK to 100 and it doesn't feel quite right. I can't put my finger on it. Dungeons seem too chaotic for the AoE style, durability when stunned drops significantly. I am leveling my pally at the moment to see how that feels as well. I don't...

    That is very disappointing about the personal loot change. I was just talking with one of my buddies about how much I enjoyed the personal loot system because no one ninjas loot any more, there is no loot competition, lot less hard feelings in PUGs, etc.

    This is in line with my style as well. I follow the thought of "don't make me manage you". If folks do their thing, do it well, and produce results I won't be in on their business and give them leeway. If they start slacking or not producing I just turn up the heat and let them know what I...

    Definitely glad I got the Trade Post up and running. Had to power it through Herbs initially, but ore thus far afterwards. That plus a solid couple of hours with HandyNotes put me up to 1800 GR, crisis almost averted. Based on what everyone says, perhaps Lumber Mill is not for me. Will try...

    Not sure if this has been posted before or is just common knowledge but I was able to pick the herbs in my garrison today with out herbalism. It wasn't the crap little herbs either, got full fledged herbs. Haven't tried to mine on my alt that isn't a miner yet.

    What are you guys using for remote access? I use Teamviewer currently and it is acceptable for managing missions. However, anything that involves the mouse movement for view screws it all up so I am chained to the table in my garrison.

    Follower mission nonsense continues hard today. I have a single level 100 follower. I now have 6 of 10 missions at level 100 and all of the remaining are generally over 96. I need to go out and recruit some higher level followers so I have a chance at completing some of these. Do missions...

    How much GR can you get from Rares? While leveling, I crushed most rares I came across and did not get GR at all or very little. Is that just for second kills or something? I am in the same boat as Kreugen where I seem to be at a stale mate with my GR resources from just depending on missions.

    DK is usual OP for leveling, rare killing, and dungeon tanking. I use Blood for open world / dungeon and I can literally do anything. The only difference difficulty makes is how many cooldowns I need to use and what presence I am in. Blood Spec + Unholy Presence made for really effective...
