Man, hardest part about cata is gonna be which team of 80s to lvl to 85 first..... Every other expansion, I was still trying to reach the old cap on my first team...
Keep in mind they are, in my humble opinion, still quite gear dependent and that goes especially for their weapons. For example, while Shamans can get by with a (relatively) low-quality weapon, it really holds back all-Paladin teams.Quote:

Only after running out of Triumph gear to buy did I run normal PoS for i219 weapons for my team, then Heroic PoS for my Prots i232 and finally now equip all my Rets with the i251 Battered Hilt jobbies (as well as 25 bloody runs getting my i219 prot shield out of Normal HoR... lol).
The difference has been eye-popping with each Ret pulling 6k+ DPS and my Prot around 4K DPS on my last ICC10 rep farming run and completely thrashing Heroics.
If you make an All-Pally team my suggestion is that as soon as you possibly can, farm out Normal PoS for the i219 weapons (both prot and ret drop there). More than any armour piece it'll make the biggest difference.
13 seconds :DQuote:

Wow! 13 eh. Damn. I just now got Krik'thir down in 19 seconds, but 13...man, that's fast.Quote:

23 was with i219s on all, now the prot is i232 and the rets all i251.
And to the OP, yup, make your loot list. Prioritise it all - but get weapons first I reckon. Even a crappily geared Paladin team should be able to run normal ICC's for the i219 weapons.
Maybe the weapon was the icing on top of the armor cake. All your Triumphent gear shot up all your stats already.Quote:

To OP, the first 25 Champion Seals are easier to get since the patch. Start doing the Argent Tournament dailys when you get to 77. Do the Black Knight quest line. Depending on your play time, you should have 25 Seals for a i200 purple when you hit 80.
I think as far as pve is concerned, pallys have gotten quite a bit in beta and it will be lots of fun to pve with them come cataclysm, gear in cata so far in the beta has been a huge jump up by lvl 82. I can't wait till cataclysm now ! :)
Fun stuff indeed. Once i while i do my daily HC with a boomkin + me on my 4 shaman in pretty much full wrathfull. Killed final boss in Hall of stone in 10 seconds (with 4x earth ele, fire was on Cd)Quote:

Funny you should mention that, I just did H HoS for the first time. I'd previously been skipping it on the odd occasions because I figured an under-geared team would have trouble on the Brann event in Tribunal of Ages. Decided with my gear now to give it a go. Got the Maiden of Grief achievement (kill <1min), did the Brann event without any trouble and dropped the last guy without even bothering to attend to the adds. Didn't get any time on it from DBM, but it was very quick.Quote:

Under-geared teams I think would still struggle in some places there.
