RAF boosting W/Pally in Strat

[griffin01]

I had previously posted this how-to, so I will stick it here to help out... Check out Faulxylady on the armory for the spec and gear that I use to get this done.



I numbered each group within the pull.



as a pally make sure you are specced with blessing of sanctuary... my pally is holy pally with really deacent pvp gear, use your excorcism spell to pull. Each pull is really simple as long as you do it right. You have to remember to kill the non-elite mobs as fast as you can because they will kick your heals. To avoid this I simply use holy fire to heal myself as mush as I can, when I have the group together I holy wrath to AoE and stun the mobs and cast a quick flash of light, than consecrate again. Back to holy fire, and by that time the non-elites should be dead and you are free to use your holy light heals... because the spec I have uses the blessing of Sanc in the prot tree, you never worry about losing mana, so go all out on healing if you have to.

This how-to picture was created by me pre-patch, and the only change I would do is to extend the 5th pull further up the hallway and grab another group or two... There are a couple bosses down there.

buffs/spells needed:
blessing of sanctuary
righteous fury (spec into righteous fury for dmg reduction)
ret aura
Holy Shock

good luck.

Was wondering about that list somewhere.

1- Would a T4/T5 feral be as viable to boost griffin or vyndree style? ILotP shoul dbe a big help, probably bear form cat gear swipe like mad.

2- Could a 60 pally boost with heavy support and solid gear?

boosting with a feral is a bit tougher since you only have thorns (similar to retribution) but swipe works wonders now that it does AE damage instead of just to three mobs. with a pally, you can have shield spikes to do damage as well as trinkets to heal on successful blocks. pallys have bubbles and healing IN normal form.

some things to note when using bear.
you can take potions and stones IN form now.
you cannot heal except through Frenzied Regen, and that isnt too great of a heal. if your boostees can heal you, that would be great.
if you already have a group on your tail, i pull with two methods: feral frairie fire, and demoralizing roar. aggroing one mob from a group will aggro the whole group, so you dont have to necessarily run through the center of the group.
since you have no shield, dodge is your best friend. and trink that will increase your dodge is a must.
dont forget when running from one group to the next, you can also use feral charge to keep distance, thus decreasing total damage taken for a few seconds.
improved leader of the pack helps a lot, but dont go for more than two groups at once. with three groups you're going to find that your healing will not be enough to mitigate damage, especially when you cannot dispell their disease. unless, of course, you bring a class that heals and can dispell the disease. then go for as many mobs as you can safely pull!
good luck with this.

One of the best things you can do is get the faction shield from Sporegar in Zangramarsh, it poisons on contact, then go full prot spec, and put a shield spike on that mutha

I pulled all of Gnomer with my 70 pally and killed the entire lower level, and would not have died if I hadnt forgotten to chug a damn mana potion
