Consumables

-

Ataris on Masochist Paladin asked at the end his post "What should I bring to a raid?" So I thought I'd offer what I personally bring to a raid from a consumables standpoint.


Consumables


Mana Potion Injector (or Super Mana Pots)


Health Potion Injector (or Super Health Pots)


Ironshield Potions


Charged Crystal Focus (from Ogril'la)


Dense Stone Statues (JC only, we really need a level 70 version)


Food


Spicy Crawdad (or any other 30 stamina food)


Blackend Basilsik (spell damage and staima, and quite yummy)


Buffs


Superior Wizard Oil (Gimme some aggro)


Elixir of Major Fortitude AND Adepts Elixir OR Flask of Fortification OR Flask of Blinding Light

Thanks on both the list and the link.

I have fishing skill stuck at 144, I might do some old-Azeroth tourism and get both my fishing and cooking up for cheap food.

By the way, since you're linking Wowhead.com for every item, you might want to add the javascript code that allows to see the object's stats when you hoover the mouse over the link.

I find it very useful since it allows the reader to keep focus on the page he's reading and allowing a natural reading flow rather than having people jumping up and down to other tabs.

I carry lots at least 3 Stacks of Mana Drinks among all the other consumables you listed. Can't always trust having a Mage in my 10man raid as well 5man Heroics. Since I so dispise begging I make sure I have everything I need.

Cataclysm Profession Bonuses

I mentioned towards the end of my last post that I would be switching my Hunter from Skinning to Engineering. Well the little caveat I made about not gimping myself turned out to be pretty important. I had a brief Twitter conversation with Fiest the Rogue. If you care about high end PVE raiding, you need to be following @ FiesttheRogue . He is a tremendous resource and very helpful. He gave me a link to an EJ article and explained to me that for melee DPS and Hunters Engineering is not competitive with what is provided by the other professions. Its fantastic for casters apparently, but I'm not a caster. Other classes can get equal STR or INT to the AGI you see here. Tanks have the option for Stamina. Alchemy - mixology (longer, better flasks), Alchemist Stone (special trinket - Mastery), and Flask of Enhancement (special flask +80 AGI) Blacksmithing - socket bracers, gloves (2 extra gems ~=+80 AGI) Enchanting - Ring Enchants (AGI to two rings ~= 80 AGI) Inscription -

Raid Comp Tool

Thanks to Matticus to telling me about this on Twitter. mmo-champion has produced a new Raid Composition tool, you can see it here: http://raidcomp.mmo-champion.com/ On the left you have all 30 'classes'. Every spec of every class is presented. In the center are your groups. I have no idea why they have this set up with 8 groups. You'd only ever see 8 groups (40 players) in AV and you have almost 0 control over the composition in that arena. Then on the right you have the raid buffs, and a count of Healers, Ranged, Melee, and Tanks. You drag the class from the left and drop it on the raid group slot. Your count is increased, and the buffs that you have covered light up in green. Let me pick a class/spec completely at random. Protection Paladin. There. Say you pull over a Protection Paladin and put them in group 1. Your Tank count goes to 1 and you can see Mana Restore (Judgement of Wisdom), Melee Attack Speed Slow (Judgement of the Just), and Healing Received (Impro

Back To Basics: The 969 Paladin Threat Rotation

-
Protection Paladins are one of the last classes in WoW that still have a Rinse and Repeat rotation known affectionately as 969. The 969 rotation was discovered in Wrath of the Lich King Beta by Psiven who then taught it to the rest of the community via Maintankadin. It begins by recognizing that the main Protection Paladin threat moves all come in varieties of 8 to 9 second cooldowns and 6 second cooldowns. We treat the 8 second cooldown moves as 9 seconds to better fit with a 1.5 second global cooldown. The 9s are Judgment (talented), Consecrate and Holy Shield. The 6s are Hammer of the Righteous and Shield of Righteousness. The 9 second and 6 second cooldowns are rotated and alternated. With a 1.5 second global cooldown, this all fits together into a fairly tight rotation. The way this works in practice is that you lead off your threat rotation with a 9 second talented cooldown Judgment. This is the opening spell because it puts your Judgements of the Just debuff on the mob whi
