If I find another damned Beaststalker piece in UBRS, I am going to puke. 5 straight runs, not a sniff of Plate...not just LF mind you...no freakin' plate at all. No weapons to mention either.

I've only got 1 more UBRS run to really do.. I need to get my BWL attunement done. Hit honored with the trolls for ZG last night and got my Freethinker's Belt. I've got all the pieces for the BP, but it will take about 20 more ZG runs for me to get to the next reputation level. Don't think I'll use the bracers or belt though.. I'm at 7/8 Lightforge and 3/8 Lawbringer (bracers, belt, boots). The guild made three Fiery Chain Shoulders for the top 3 pallies doing MC (I got one of em). I've got to get to revered with Argent Dawn so I can get the extra +5 fire resist for them. I've been farming in Noxious Glade and can get about 50 Invader stones in an hour--I've got about 4 hours of farming before I hit revered.
This whole 1.9 shit is starting to piss me off..... Blizz offically said that pallies can only tank in 5-man instances... after that...they shouldn't even try. So basically.. the protection tree is total shit.. and they moved BoK there just so we'd have to spend 11pts in it.... feels like a damn insult. I hate the fact that the pally DPS (laughable as it is) is going to be dependent on doing damage while an oppent is stunned.. clearly this isn't how a pally is supposed to engage in combat.

Blizz lost sight of the Paladin or Lore and Popular myth long ago. Don't forget your mace Cleric!

w00t! Got LF Spaulders and Britches over the last few days. Still neet Hat, Gloves, and Breastplate.
Meredith got her Valor set started too with the bracers. 5-manned Lower Blackrock Spire twice this weekend. Wiped both times due to shit-luck and quit due to respawn. The first time we were collecting the spider eggs, and our warrior went AFK without us knowing. We started a fight that went south. The mage forgot to mana-shield and went down quick. I was the only healer. I was the last active to go down, having spent every potion, LOH, Grenade, bubble, mana point everything. Only 2 small spiders were left when I died, nether with more than 10hp each. The warrior of course went down last due to his afk-ness.
Second run we had a priest and were rocking through, just after Worg bosses, we were on way to main boss. The hunter aggroed an extra-group which would have been fine, but some sort of blast they have knocked me over the edge into a pit with 3 ogres. The group wiped because I didn't have LOS to Devine Intervene the Priest. If it had knocked me anywhere but down the hole we would have been fine. I so desire Blackhand's Breadth, and I can't get the quest started til we kill the LBRS boss.

I to am chugging a long. I notice more and more quests where you have to have a specific profession to finish. Like I had to Meridith to make a sword for one of my quests.

Yes, those suck, and are often not worth the trouble. Was that the quest in the swamps near Theramore Dave?

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised last night. I went on back to back UBRS ands Scholo raids, and while I would not say I melted faces (though pallies always do well in scholo) I was 3rd in damage behind 2 rogues in UBRS.
How did you spec Meat? I went 20/0/31, and Judging Command kicked ass. I was regularly crtting those bad ass rage talon pricks and monster orcs in UBRS for 400-950 with JoC every 8 seconds depending on crits, and SoC was procing like mad. I was using Destiny with a crusader enchant, and my SoC procs were around 400 up to 900 on crits. My damage meter was pegged. Much more than I usually did. The "Psycho" sound effect of Vengeance + glowing hands was constant.
I only got to PvP for a minute (my titan panel was throwing a big red error screen in my face every 4 seconds in AV causing no end of problems and distraction) but what I did enjoy was blasting the piss out of Warlock Pets with Exorcism. 1 Ex + 1 Auto attack dropped every Lock Pet I came accross, and for the few minutes I wasnt screwed by Titan, I was judging command and kicking ass. It was fun, and much more involved than before. I didnt seem to have too much trouble with mana comsumption either.
One other thing, my chance to melee crit is higher after 1.9. It may be a glitch, but I went from about 16% unbuffed to 17.5% unbuffed for some reason. I hope it is by design, and if not, I hope it is not fixed.
So far, I like the changes, but need a mod to show me when Vindication and Eye for an Eye is procing too. Do you know of any?

... I went raid spec ... 35 holy, 11 prot, 5 ret .... I'm really thinking about re-specing now... holy shock really isn't doing much for me. Scrolling Combat Text may show you what your looking for. Also, I fixed whispercast to work for greater blessings.. if you want it let me know and i'll give ya the link for the files.

Please do Meat.
Ret is more fun and involved now, and I haven't burnt mana as fast I was afraid. My build in holy is 4 in Str, 4 in int, 4 in DF (since it stacks with conc aura), 3 in improved holy/flash of light, 2 in imp LOH, 2 in fear resistance, 1 in consecration. The 31 in Ret are the common sense ones. I didnt take imp BoM, Pursuit, parry, or ret aura. Make sure to get improved judgment...2 seconds doesn't seem like much, but it is when you are judging command for damage.
If I had it to do over again, I might drop improved Crusader and spend those 3 points in parry or Might, because I haven't wanted to judge it since JoC is so much better.
