Crank Dat Dr00d boi.

First off, you’re seriously gimping yourself by n ver grouping. At 10, you can get away with it, but later on, quests will require you to group, and by not having any dungeon gear, your damage and sue i ability will both be low. The whole point of an MMO is multiplayer, ut if you reslly want to go it alone, feral kitty will serve you well. So will boomkin, if you don’t mind drinking after every pull. I can link you some sample builds, if you need them. Good luck!

You can raid as any spec; I was a successful pug Raidtankadin back on Nost. The key is to find a guild that wants you. That may seem like a tall order, but they ARE out there.

BTW, not to necro an old thread, but which totem do you use in your Relic slot?

Yeah, back on Nost, prot warrs loved me, because me being there meant they could throw on their DPS gear and change it up, a bit. Nowadays, it seems like all I do in raids is OT adds and heal with a prot spec.

I play a Tankadin, so I am no stranger to the need for mana consumables. What does your gear look like with the 21/30/0 spec? Do you do enough DPS and provide enough utility to justify your raid spot?

I’ve been playing on a certain other TBC server that’s been plagued with crashes since the day it opened, and I’m losing my patience with it. I need my TBC fix. Does anyone have a launch date, or has it not been released yet?

‘ey man, thanks for the guide! Would you recommend throwing Earth Shock nstead of Frost Shock to take advantage of the dmg butf from Stormstrike, assuming the Tank has good threat?

What Duki posted would work well for tanking in a melee heavy raid, but I don’t think it’s terribly applicable to healing.

Duki, Geofram here. I would like to propose a change to your bis tank weapon. The End of Dreams has the same amount of spelldmg that Wraith Blade has, but none of the spell hit or spell crit we really don’t need, plus it has 7 mp5, as well as 8 more STA and 10 more INT than Wraith Blade. Plus, it’s a mace, so the only people who will roll against us are Boomkins, spriests, and ferals who want the atk power mod that’s also on it. Mages and Locks, however, won’t. My GM clued me in on this when I asked to be allowed to roll on Wraith Blade.

Why the hate, Cysthen? You are both good at what you do, and although we are a vocal minority, infighting can only weaken and destroy us.

Def skill isn’t completely wasted after 440 skill, but you will get better bang for your buck by stacking block, dodge, and parry once you have 440 Def.

Well, RealmPlayers is giving me guff, so I can’t see your gear, but what kind of weapon are you using? Pallies tank though spelldmg, so get a spelldmg sword or mace, enchant it with the MC spelldmg chant, and use wizard oil. If you’re raiding, greater arcan elixir is good, as well. If you’re going oom, chug major manas, and use Mageblood Potions and Nightfin Soup for mo5. Deathbone plate from Scholo will work, as well.

I am Geofram the Tankadin. Some of you may remember me from Nost PvP. In any event, my current server is going the way of the dodo, and I am looking for a new home. Is this server friendly toward Tankadins? I have lots of (successful) raid tanking experience from Nost. If I come here and offer to tank raids when I’m geared and 60, will people give me a chance, or will most say “lolprot,” the battle cry of the chronic masturbator? Also, if you the nk I can’t tank as a pally, good for you. You may collect your cookie at the prize counter. I was regularly invited to raids on Nost as a MS Tank (Read: NOT a healer with a tankset), so I really have no interest in hearing naysayers tell me that I can’t do things I can, and have, done.

As a Tankadin, I'm trying to create a macro that targets myself, casts Lay on Hands, then targets whatever I had targeted last. /targetlasttarget doesn't seem to work here. Anyone have a workaround?

Like the title says. I have a60 Tankadin Nost refugee there, and would like to be reunited with him. If the original Elysium server is still up, how do I access it?

I've looked everywhere and I can't find it. Please tell me what to set my realmlist.wtf to.

‘ey guys, been playing onnvarious other servers since my toon from old nost bit the big one, but now I’m back. I have a couple of pally questions, namely, do all our prot and ret talents work properly, and is Consecrate working as blizzlike? Also, how top heavy is the server right now. Elwynn seems populated, but looks can be deceiving.

On Nost, it made finding and making groups a snap. Is there a similar addon in use here?

No, but the utility you bring to a group simply can't be beat.

Back on old Nost, I was the only Prot Pally consistently allowed to be a MS Tank in PuG raids. Even there, where our single target threat was crap, but Consecrate was stupid OP, I only stopped to drink when the healers needed it. Although I am of the mindset that Pallies can tank anything, I am not so foolish as to believe we should. On fights where I am not needed, I have a full and properly chanted Healset, complete with appropriate consumables. Speaking of which, I always bring more than I need for both roles, just in case. My gear would make me suited for a t1 raiding guild. Here, I would post a realmplayers link, but I last logged out in my DPS set. I will update this once realmplayers has a chance to grab a fresh capture. Unlike most Tankadins, I do not have a compulsive need to tank EVERYTHING, but am aware of situations where I would be better than an equivalently geared Prot War. I am applying for a Tank spot in your raid, and not a Heal spot with a Prot set to bust out every now and then. If you are a recruitment officer for your guild, and have a question, ask and I will reply to it here. For reference, I am a Human named Geofram. Finally, please no "lolprot" or "just reroll Warrior" posts. Pallytanking is what I know and love, and I have no interest in hearing that I can't do things which I can, and have, already done. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

As a Paladin, Gnomish Engineering is of particular value to me in PvP. Sapper charges are cool for tanking, and The Big One makes for a good pulling tool, but the only real advantage Goblins have is that they can sell their rocket boots to everyone. On Nost PvP, I made bank selling Gnomish toys and superior Gnomish tocket boots to Goblins. There were also so many Goblins on Nost, that my Gnomish membership was like a liscense to print money. Granted, this server doesn't have anywhere near Nost's numbers, but I'd like yo make an odd gold here and there with my tinkering. Again, I would prefer Gnome, but am willing to be a Goblin if there are enough Gnomes Allianceside to drive the prices of Gnomish PvP toys down. Oh, and Lil' Smoky >> all.

If you are a Pally in either PvP or PvE, you need to go Gnome, or you need to go home.

Nice work, always great to see the macro and addon community in action. For your debuff clearing macro, might I suggest Divine Protection ran 1 over DS? Same effect, but for only 15 mana.

15 AGI on your Tank weapon will give you a bit of armor, as well as 0.75% more dodge that are both always on. Crusader is helluva expensive for what it gives a Tank (and does not benefit from Shield Spec or RF), and if Lifesteal is making the difference between a kill and a wipe, time to find a new healer.
