Sunday
UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I have never felt interface mods to be required for raids. I haven't tried out many though, because I grew accustomed to raiding with the original interface. When I healed raids I never had trouble keeping my abilities up or healing who I needed to. While tanking I have yet to have a problem with keeping up with what I need to be doing or even who has what buffs/debuffs. If asked I would download and learn whatever mods wanted on me and learn to use them fully before raiding. I couldn't imagine raiding without something like DBM or omen though.
PvE
Raid Experience: 
I have tanked and healed both sizes of Naxx, Os, and Malygos, although none of the EoEs were able to finish phase 3. I've tanked up to Yogg in Uld-10 and General in 25, and have downed or nearly downed Thorim, Hodir, IC, and XT hard modes on 10-man. I have cleared Toc10 normal as a tank and the first two bosses of 25.
Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
West Virginia, US
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I am usually a quiet person, as I sometimes stutter or lose the thought while speaking. Until it becomes outrageous I am content to accept what the leaders decide. I am generally calm, taking a great deal to be bothered.
Open/Closed:

 First of all, get

 First of all, get PallyPower. It's an addon that tells other pallys what types of improved talents that you have taken, be it imp might, imp wisdom, imp devo aura, Blessing of Sanctuary. 

Second, if you don't have some other raid frames besides just using the default UI's raid frames, you are seriously gimping yourself. There's a reason top guilds who fraps their videos ALWAYS have some raid frames be it grid or something else. It allows you to know the state of the raid, be it someone sitting in fire, have a curse/magic/poison debuff, etc.

Third, time and time again, we get prot pally apps who say the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER : "I have never had a threat issue". They get plopped into one of our raids, and an overzealous mage or warlock either pulls aggro, or gets 1 shotted. Why? Is it the fault of the dps who died or pulled aggro? No!! The tank never took talents that would have simply maxed their threat. You are missing a 7 crucial talents even to max your threat : 1/2 imp judgement, 3/5 conviction, and 3/3 Crusade. Leave BoM to the ret pallys or warriors to battle shout. Put tuskers vitality instead of 22 stam to your boots, and you can free up another 2 points from PoJ(they don't stack together and bosses don't disarm you). You say you're a theorycrafter: why didn't you think about this? All the prot pally theorycrafting is all based at maintankadin.failsafedesign.com . Do you go here? And why did you get the Glyph of shield or rightness? It's already cheap enough to spend mana, yet you want to spend 80% less on it? Leave this glyph to the pvp holy paladins. Take the Glyph of SoV for free expertise

Fourth, your professions......You have 450/450 mining, but why do you have 125/255 Blacksmithing? You're missing out on 2 sockets that you could have gemmed with stam or str/stam in preparation for 3.2.2.

 

Raid Times

Alfougin — Fri, 09/11/2009 - 17:26

I am not entirely sure I read the raid times posted on the calendar here properly. If I screwed my conversions of them up and cannot raid then I sincerely apologize for wasting the time of whoever read this.
