Leveling is simple.

SoC, judge, SoComm, auto attack, go make a sammich.
Heal.
SoC, judge, SoComm, auto attack, eat the sammich.

There is,
but that forums is filled with retards and assholes.

Looks like anandtech isn't that much different either.

Agreed. If you are going to make a nickname for your Paladin, why not make it something cool? There should be a new rule: the nickname has to be cooler than the original.

Example of what not to do -

Original: Bad ass motherf##$#$
Nickname: Suzie McMuffin

My first toon was a pally, I leveled her (Gingerbread) to 60. Pally types are painful to level because it takes an hour to kill anything. On the flip side, it is next to impossible to die in a 1 on 1 PvE encounter. I went holy tree to be helpful in groups. a holy spec pally should have no trouble getting groups. The most fun was:
my other level 60s
Druid (Kwai) fun to play, can do anything, ultimate hybrid.
Rogue (Kunoichi) easy button. Kills so fast.
Warlock (feMaleficent) Much more tactical gameplay.

Then I got bored and quit.

Anyone playing CivCity Rome?

you wouldn't happen to have a hunter named Evea would you? ...o_O

Solo:
Buff self, hammer, judge, rebuff, attack, afk 5 mins, heal self, attack, and it dies.
repeat until 60.

Dungeon:
Answer LFtank, get denied, answer LFhealer, they consider, deny, no priests or druids, they give in.
Buff group, heal, wish you could be the tank, heal, heal, heal, heal, try to off tank, get yelled at for not healing, heal heal, heal, heal, heal, heal, hammer, buff, heal, heal, have more tank envy, heal heal, heal, boss dies. Warrior gear drops, want to roll on warrior gear, you get denied.
Repeat until 60.

The Pally is a worthless class. I played mine up until 56 because I am a stubborn SOB before I finally caved. Quit now or change to another class while you still can.

You're surprised that there's a lot of World of Warcraft talk in a thread about World of Warcraft?

I feel sorry for raiding paladins that don't want to be healbots.

I play a druid main. I used to raid a lot, but I've since respecced full feral ... and Mostly I just gank people in AV. I specificly target warlocks because back when I had crappy gear, I would get pwned by them ALL the time.

Also, I have a 60 warlock. I have mostly green/bliue gear on him, but like 4 or 5 epics. I mostly just pvp on him. My favorite thing to do is to kill druids, because they are very easy for warlocks to kill.

Also, I have a 60 warrior. This toon mostly sits idle, he's got 400 defense, he is prot specced, he's got the bloodlord's defender as a weapon as well as a bunch of other ZG blues. My druid is much stronger as a tank though, and my druid does better DPS. Also my druid can heal. So, my warrior is just there getting no play time.

Sometimes if friends are doing entry level instances like UBRS, Strat, etc and if they need a tank, I'll maybe take my Warrior ...


Also, I have a 57 pally. Was my first toon, I never managed to level him to 60 as it was too fvcking boring. I hate that toon.

Have fun.

I do have another class - this is just an alt that im dicking around with on my free time.

My main's my hunter, but she doens't see much time outside of raiding now. I tried the PvP grind with her, and actually got up to rank 10 before deciding that my social life was much more important =P

Spec ret. The healing trees are there because originally Blizzard thought PvP wouldn't be a big deal and some people wouldn't mind just healing. As they realized how popular PvP was, they changed things around to make healers able to do damage, which is key for PvP. Holy really won't add much to your healing, but ret will make a huge difference to your damage and enable you to level faster. Even at 60 ret is a powerful PvP spec, though be prepared for little kids playing their night elf rogues/hunters telling you "u suq" because you're not healing their stupid asses when they jump into the middle of a giant pile of horde. But then, you're the one who chose alliance... you make your bed, you lie in it. Soloing with a 2h should get easier with plate at 40. From what I hear from many "switchers" (those who go pally -> shaman) they can't believe how squishy shamans are in comparison, with our mail armor and especially without a shield. A shield will essentially double a shaman's armor.

Are you people trolling or just stupid? There are obese people in the world. Should we all stop eating? There are people who watch too much TV. Should we outlaw television? You can die from drinking too much water, it takes about 4 gallons in a day if I remember correctly (salt imbalance). I guess that's out too...

Someone who wants to can lose themselves in any number of things. At least WoW has social interaction and requires thought. Can't say the same about the aptly named boob-tube.

He is playing WoW. Chances are nobody cares about him.

So you're saying this is the closest he's going to get to an intervention?

Pretty much. He'll be found naked, dead in front of his computer... in about 3 years. Accidentally.

Out of all of the healing classes I've found the Druid to be the easiest to solo. I have a low level priest and I enjoy playing him with a group but there is too much downtime solo. I've never played a pally. One of these days I'll roll one. My first DAoC character was a pally. I really liked him.

Too bad people don't care for Feral spec'd in groups. They can heal too!

QFT. My druid is feral specced with NS and I have +490 to healing gear. We have MC on farm status and are attempting BWL.

my rejuvenation ticks at 350 right now but when I was resto it was upwards of 384/tick iirc.
