the more you're here the less tank time for me, which makes justicebringer a happy camper

What he means by "all or

Shihli — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 14:48

What he means by "all or nothing" is that we don't invite people who turn around and raid with other guilds.

You'd be raiding with us (so to speak) on your paladin, and turning around and raiding with APT on your warlock.

We don't want that.

apt died

just curious, but why is that?

Why?

Aidin — Tue, 09/01/2009 - 11:51

DF : "hey ace we need you"

You : "sorry guys I'm in this run with <insert guild here> maybe next time"

DF : "hmmmmm why did we invite this guy if he has no desire to raid with US?"

DF : "hey ace we need you"

You : "Hellz to the yea, later guys my guild needs me, good luck"

Random GM : "Downfall are a bunch of effin douche bags spread the word."

never happen

acetylcoa — Tue, 09/01/2009 - 12:11

This isnt the way i am. Plus, like i added at the top, i dont have a main guild anymore. so DF would take that place if i was accepted.

He also listed his pally as a level 50 alt in that old app.

lvl 50

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:38

Probably was lvl 50, that was a while ago.

Wait...weren't you ret last

Aidin — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 09:39

Wait...weren't you ret last time we talked? (trying to make sure you are who I think you are) ;)

Ret

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:53

I have ret as my offspec, and the gear is less than great. Ive never applied to anywhere as ret, so may not be me your thinking of.

He was a warlock in his last

" Tell us a little about how your class contributes to a raid.:

Prot pallys offer Huge Aoe and single target threat. The highest threat of any class in my opinion. Judgements for replenishment, Pally buffs"

First of all, judgements don't give replenishments. [Judgement of Wisdom] gives a chance to give some mana back which is completely different than http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=57669. Second, our threat is getting nerfed in 3.2.2. You haven't speced for max threat in the first place. Are you an off tank in APT? If you are, [Divine Guardian] and [Divine Sacrafice] as well as 2/2 improved judgements and 2/2 Spirtual Attunement. IF not, spec something like http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sZA0xA0uMusIufdts0hbc or http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sZV0tAbuMusIufdts0hbc if you want to keep DG/DS.

Another thing, why have you gemmed a socket for hit? 10 Hit only results in .3% of hit, which doesn't help much as you have only 1 tanking tanking item with hit on it.

Spec

acetylcoa — Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:51

Well, enhance shamans benefit from what i call 'replenishment' =). I really couldnt think of anything besides the obvious that a prot pally brings to a raid. Keep aggro, dont die, keep the boss in the right place. Isnt that what tanks are for? =9

As far as specing for threat, The spec i have there i actually copied from somone in grggle. Wanted to try something different from my old spec, with did include Imp Judge, and im guessing if it works for grggle it should work for anyone. (sorry didnt know the names of any DF prot pallys). I have 0 problem with threat with this spec or the other. No issues with dying, but i havent tanked the real hard stuff in ulduar on 25 man either.

The hit gem was for the socket bonus, and i chose hit over defense rating because i figure the slight bit of mitigation was outweighed by the extra threat i could get from hit rating, which i think im a little low on. But i can hold threat on any single target ive come across so far. My TPS is between 7k tps and 9k on bursts. I just cant see putting more hit would improve my threat enough to sacrifice stamina or something else.

3.2.2 may change that, We'll see.
