a pally friend of mine solo'ed her as holy. at 76 i think.
but yea, she's a tough cookie.

Rhode: for leveling.... why not go prot? any reason you wanna stay ret? dps? but you have four others? i dont think it should matter what the pally is dishing out so long as your four dps can one-hit mobs in northrend. i mean all i'll be seeing is pally taking half the mobs health and then four different dps chime in for 3,000-4,000 overkill damage. for me, that makes no sense. once you hit instances, yea, try to be prot tho. just remember that prot shines with multiple mobs and your mana regen is from dodge/blocks/parries. its also a great time to try chainlightning, volley, and hurricane. =]
