[How-to] 5x Paladins Disscusion

[Stealthy]

Well I seemed to have solved some of the mana problems by using sacred shield. Crit heals heal more and therefore I have to heal less and that means more mana. I no longer have to stop and wait for mana unless I wipe. Oh and one other thing, since we are all paladins my in game combat mana regen is 92, so getting another piece that may have 19 on it seems kinda silly when it will barely help me in doing damage.

P.S. Anyone notice that there are no buyable epic rings with str, sta and crit? Weird.

P.P.S. How are people handling anti melee bosses? Krystallus, Skadi, and that elemental boss come to mind. Kinda ruins being able to farm the daily. Jamba follow isnt helping me much when Im trying to run from my slaves, lol. NONO GET AWAY FROM ME! AAAAAHHHHH!!!

editx3: One thing I forgot to admit, when I first tried Draktheron Heroic I had just bought all my paladins Titansteel Destroyers. I didnt realize there 2h mace skill was 330, so that's why the first few instance runs were so bad. They are just now getting close to 400. And the reason I bought the maces is that no one will let you PuG ToC Heroic with a blue weapon. No one. They will all laugh at you.

Glad to see it helped.

Had a look at your guys - your tank is pretty well geared already, i'd suggest dropping the Spiritual Attunement glyph for the Hammer of the Righteous - it really helps in group pulls. Talent-wise, I picked up Persuit of Justice on my tank (since it's pointless having it on your rets and not your tank), didn't bother with seal of command, and put 4 points into Divinity which makes healing my tank a bit easier.

There is one buyable ring with Stam, Str & Crit...but it's kinda expensive though - www.wowhead.com/?item=Etched Ring of the Kirin Tor
Otherwise the best buyable rings for rets are www.wowhead.com/?item=Surge Needle Ring and www.wowhead.com/?item=Greatring of Collision.

Anti melee bosses are difficult thats for sure. I don't use the strobe following in Jamba, only the follow after combat, so I can control the follows in Combat. On bosses that like to whirlwind (Skadi, Gal'darah), or that have directional AoE (Ingvar, Anub'arak) I usually position my guys like so - M = main, B = Boss, A = Alts, both main and alts are facing the boss:

[M]
[B]
[A]

That way when they start to whirlwind I just hit the down arrow, and everyone starts moving backwards, so you end up with:

[M]
[B]


[A] <---now out of Whirlwind range

Both Skadi and Gal'darah are tauntable through their whirlwinds, so if they start going after your alts, taunt them back. When the whirlwind has finished, I hit the 'Interact with Target' key adn the alts run up and start attacking the boss again.

The elemental boss in Gundrak is a major pain in the ass - rotating Divine Sacrifice / Divine Shields are the way to go there. I haven't tried Kystallus yet, will have a crack tonight and let you know how I go.

Just another note about 'Interact with Target' - if you're not using it, you definitely should be. Not only for the situations above, but it is the BEST AOE FEAR RECOVERY WE HAVE. The range on Interact with Target is much much greater than follow, which means after an AOE fear, just hit the mapped key and your guys will all run back (providing there is nothing blocking their way) and start attacking the mob. You don't have to waste time gathering up toons that are out of range of follow. Same for bosses that do knockbacks as well...its pure win for melee classes!

Cheers,
