Closing app. Lack of activity, plus only being able to raid 2 weekdays hurts. Best of luck in your search for a guild.

Still out there? need some activity on your app. Any noteworthy changes made to your gear, spec, rotation, bars or anything you want to tell us about?

Fjork — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 21:16

Your UI hurts my eyes like pain.

Like, alot.

 

First steps (as some have mentioned):

  1. Get Grid
  2. Learn Macro's  (Example:   /use 13 /use 14 /startattack /cast xxxx)
  3. Get Bartender4 or something similar.  Move those useless things out of the way and make room for watching your feet.
  4. (no a 'must have', but...) Get raid-frames.  xperl is good, so is Pitbull
  5. If you don't have it, get Quartz and LEARN IT.   If your cast (or your enemies cast) reaches the Red, it's already gone off.  (latency)
  6. Quest Objectives, honestly?  hehe
  7. Show us some parses.  Let us see what kind of action you take/don't take during a raid-fight so our experts can give you some advice.

 

Don't mind Gimpy, he's hard on everybody.  We tend to get very elitist after a while, and Gimpy seems to think he qualifies.  (His parses disagree........)

 

And honestly, Pets have no real place on your raid-ui, but you can set Bartender for that..........

 

To end all.  I like cookies.  Bribe somebody.  hehe

Uhm, can't raid on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sure, fixing the things mentioned here will help, but it'll be tough to get into a raid with that schedule.

Spec looks good, although

Pelana — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 01:58

Spec looks good, although personally I'd swap the 2 points in
Unyielding Faith to fill out Divine Intellect as there aren't many fears
or disorients in PvE. The glyph of divine storm sucks, replace with the
vengeance or exorcism glyph. Vengeance is better even if you're only
using a few of the expertise but I don't remember when exorcism takes
over, 5 or less used I think. Pick up the sense undead minor. One of the
best minor glyphs in the game.

Gems! Swap the meta to the agility/crit one and get
rid of those terrible stam gems in your chest and wrist! The nightmare
tear alone will satisfy the requirement and that means more delicious
strength! You're exalted with Ebon Blade so enchant your helm too.

Most
importantly though... You are waaaaaaaaay over the hit cap AND using
two hit trinkets. The cap is 263 (8%) or even 7% with a draenei. You are
at 482. If you drop both hit trinkets you drop to 259 which is enough
with a sexy space goat like myself in your raid. This frees up two
trinket slots. WFS is fairly easy to get, as is the badge trinket.
Greatness still works well too. Death's Verdict is nearly BiS until
heroics if you are lucky and/or rich.

Finally, your button placement makes my head spin. Everyone knows pallies should bind bubble to everything for maximum facerolling. :) Good luck!

I'll change up those glyphs

fullcollapse9797 — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 09:57

I'll change up those glyphs plus the meta gem. I had the blue gems in to satisfy the mate requirment but forgot to change them when i added nightmare tear, plus the helm is kind of new and just forgot to get head enchanment. Will get it today. Yeah i know about the hit, its been my main focus on dropping it, i was thinking of buying the forst badge trinket, i know haste isnt to useful to a pally though so i wasnt to sure about it. I am well aware of it though and am trying to drop it. LOL and yes ill change up the buttons, been kind of stubborn, had that placement for a while and just got use to it, I'm changing it up today though

On my paladin my heals were Q and E even as ret. All my toons had their pvp trinket (or human racial) as t. 7 and 8 were lay on hands and divine intervention although usually these did get clicked.

Y was always my cooldown macros. 

Oh and the more important something was the greater likelihood that it was found between `-5 and q e or r

Well here's how I do it,

Pelana — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 15:44

Well here's how I do it, although it's mostly preference and I'm liable to get made fun of for it too. :)

I rebound the bar to use 1-7, ~, g, r, t and y with less used skills on 6/7/y. This puts the stuff you use all the time (judgement, CS, DS etc) in very close reach so you don't have to move your hand or worse... click! While I personally don't like doing it, some people also bind skills to q and e as well and change the movement buttons a and d to strafe instead of turn as they turn with the mouse instead.

After that I bind the functions keys f2-f8 to some of the lesser used skills on the upper left bar to f2-f4 are my bop, bubble and shieldwall for ease of access, then things like aura mastery, salv, ect. Lastly, I use control + 1-4 for a few skills as it's relatively easy to hit both buttons with a nice keyboard. Doesn't work so well on a laptop though. This is for very situational stuff like my cleanse self macro, cleanse button or my bop Atar/Ruesch macro. The last one is particularly nice because I'm pretty sure they're blaming someone else for it.

There are tons of other ways to do it, but that's mine and I stole the setup from my brother.

your buttons! he's so right!

Elapsed — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 06:17

your buttons! he's so right! please don't tell me you put both hands on the keyboard during a fight Craeg used to do that. It's such a horrible way to dps. There are so very few buttons we really have to push all can be made ready for a left hand near wasd and the right hand is free so youre neither keyboard turning or S keying which are both BIG no no's!

 

 

Also Geascore? really? Please god tell me you didn't mention your GS. ugh as a friend of mine who just came back to the game said, "The inventors of Gearscore should be taken out and shot or tortured" We care less about the number and more about your stats with said gear, I have a 6100+ GS if I equipped all my 277 holy gear with my best ret stuff! That hardly means I'd be effective. just please worry less about GS and more about your enchants and gems.

Vengeance v Exorcism

Dragon — Thu, 06/10/2010 - 05:29

Expertise Soft Cap is 26

If your expertise is 21 or less use Glyph of Seal of Vengeance (This is the ideal glyph and planning around 16 expertise)

If your expertise is 22 or higher use Glyph of Exorcism
