Yup, thats it. I just recently (like 2 days ago) tried a new pally mod 'Paladin Assistant' b/c I got tired of buffin everyone every 5min. ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1042I've not figured out the auto bless yet, but for now I'm just using the cycle macro to bless everyone. Some other mods that have been pretty useful are... ICU - Hunter mod lets you look at the dots on radar and shows you race/class/level (nice for PvP). Not been updated in a while though. ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=180CT Raid Assist - Much easier to see status of everyone in a raid. www.ctmod.net/Gatherer - Marks all of your harvest spots on the map for you. ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=277I used cosmos for a while, but it had too much crap in it.

Well, I just reached 60, and in PVP I could immediately see were the ungodly nerfing the Pallies took a while back has really screwed us. Suddenly, the character is very boring to play, weak on the battlefield.
Sure the class has the armor and durability of a Abrams tank, but it has the gun of VW Beetle. Whats the point in being durable? You cant outlast your enemies without some offensive punch. We cant get away from a fight going bad, we cant run down those we get lucky on and weaken. We have no Crowd Control, and no spell interupt. Blizzard would argue that Hammer of Justice serves those rolls, but we can only use it once a minute. The tide of battle changes in moment in that game. Seal of Command is Great when it procs, but its like swatting a brick wall with a rolled up newspaper hoping that for a brief second it turns into a sledghammer. I have learned that instead of Process, Proc stands for Pallies Rely On Chance.
I am angry Meatball. Supposedly the class is getting a review and will be modified in 1.9...but I am expecting another nerf and think I will be even more disappointed after it. We need at the very least another scource for attack power, and some form of Crowd Control. To make it all worse, our epic armor sets boost spirit the most, which helps us none at all. And our only offense in PVP is Auto-Attack. Every other class has a buffet of selections in addition to auto-attack. I do NOT expect our melee power to be higher than a warrior, but shouldn't it be higher than a druid? Ours is the weakest in the game.

The paladin is more of an obstacle in PvP. We can just stand around and people can't kill us, but alas we can't kill them either. I love throwing up the bubble and running into a crowd of horde ("Have at you."). Spam concecrate, pop seal of command and look for a cloth wearer and hope for a proc. There is also the reckoning bomb which I haven't tried since I'm retribution spec'd. At one time, in beta, paladins did kick ass for the lord since all of the pally undead spells actually worked against the undead players (maybe they'll bring that back). To my knowledge, 1.9 will be the third attempt at reworking the paladin class and they're keeping the changes hush-hush. One of these days I'll learn to stick to the holy trinity (war/priest/mage).
After playing the hunter though, I was pretty happy with the paladin class. I died allot less and solo play was much easier. I still like the 1.9k aimed shot crits and the tracking ability with the hunter though.
Yes, 60 is a lonely place--thats why I have 2 60s now.

How I do want to Kick Ass for the Lord.
I thought about respeccing for the Reckoning Bomb, but I am reluctant to waste gold until they really fuck it up in 1.9.
I imagine at that point we'll have to an off hand buffer in each hand, and wear only cardboard armor. You'll feel more like the Bishop of Aquetaine than Sir Galahad.

I've started on my epic mount quest. So I decided to farm up some gold. So where do I go to farm up gold? I figured I'd try the spot where all the Chinese farmers go--Tyrs Hand. This place is pretty easy to solo and great for a pair, but the money really isn't that good. Only about 5g in an hour with a couple of junk green drops. No one there speaks english either. Some guy kept spamming me with group invites. After I declined them several times, he starts spoutin off giberish and ran off. Just reminds me of www.penny-arcade.com/view.php?date=2005-02-16Makes me laugh everytime I see that strip.

Isn't Tyr's Hand in the Southest corner of the Eastern plaguelands?
The good news to this farming dilemma is that we see that the Chinese are becoming more and more capitalist. The down side is they may purchase us, instead of nuke us.
I am torn bewteen what to do now. I am a elemental leatherworker, so I can come up with the money fairly quickly. But I have done none of the big instances (spent some time in BRD last night.) I want to respec for the Reckbomb, but I am not sure how that build will work for non-pvp action. I hear in end-game quests we are just heal-bots anyway, so it doesn't really matter. I also don't know what gear to go for. The Lightforged Armor is good I guess....but it is ugly as sin.

Yeah Tyrs Hand is in the SE corner of EPL. I honestly think I could make more money farming undead spots.

I have 2/8 Lightforge right now.... been trying to get the Legs and Helm. I've went to Scholo and Strat several times and still no Lightforge. I might just skip the whole Lightforge deal and just try for Lawbringer. The guild I'm in is doing MC a couple times a week--I just have to get off my ass and get attuned so I can go with em.

Its terrible man...especially the shoulderpieces. I don't care what the benefits are, you look like a golden Anime robot of some kind, but not a cool one. Go to NW Silithus and farm the Air Elementals there for Essence of Air...it will go at the AH for 20-25g...at least it will on Greymane.
