Help me suck less

search for the countless pally threads to find tips on gearing, but basically farm your ass off for gold/mats and get yourself 245 chest/bracers and the 226 belt/boots and titansteel gear(should be relatively cheap if you have a smelter... just get a ton of saronite ore for cheap, smelt it, get the bars turned into titanium bars via transmute alchemist then buy /farm the eternals. From there smelt several hundred titansteel bars and get the gears made! ), and then gear your tank solo in randoms to make it easier


I found it incredibly hard to do heroics for a while,if you know all the instances strats then it should be pretty easy to figure out how to make it work for you. Your toons are still a bit undergeared, making things VERY hard. Quest up a couple thousand gold and get your 245 stuff (usually cheaper to buy lots of mats and have it made than to buy the gear from the ah Pre made) If you can get some of your friends /guildies to buy crusader orbs and runed orbs with their badges for you and offer to repay them after you get a few heroics under your belt.

Remember that your seals can change a TON on how you play. Seal of Wisdom i used for the longest time because i felt i needed the mana regen, but i figured out that seal of righteousness was incredible for burst damage(tho by the end of the fights i was out of mana and had to drink, big deal tho, when you're gearing up drinking can be fine). I made sure to always have runscrolls of fortitude and one of my pallys is a cook so i make the cheap feasts or buy them so i can do better Here's a little play tip, using a button lets say keybind the pally taunt on your RET PALLYS to shift + T and your taunt button on your TANK pally to T . This is a BIG HUGE shot of dmg and all you have to do is Shift T then T. This helps a ton when you're trying to race thru some dmg to get a target down quick(tho only pve, as it doesnt work on players)

i also did a few things for healing: i have a wow mouse so i have several keys bound on it for different things, since you're not using a dedicated heals you should bind your heal spells to some key VERY CLOSE to where you're keeping your hand( easy access is the key here) .

Bind your left button on your mouse to "heal tank" and your right button to "heal self" the macros should look something like this "/cast [target=yourtanksnamegoeshere] flash of light this macro should be on all four of your rets the rets should then have another macro /cast [target=self] flash of light. Once i made the change and put the macros to my mouse it helped immensely to my surviveability.

The second thing you should do buttonwise is to A) figure out WTF your bubbles do B)spec into divine sac into prot tree so you can use it to keep your team alive through aoe C) set up a round robin macro that will cast your bubble on one toon and use divine sacrifice too. This way you can hit yer bubble and divine sac 5 times giving your whole party a HUGE amount of dmg reduction that can be up pretty much for a long period of time(Long enough for MOST boss fights imo). Another thing you NEED to do is to KEEP SACRED SHIELD UP FULL TIME OMG OMFG. If you're not doing this you're GIMPING yourself by taking more dmg than you should and you're not benefiting from the awesome crit bonus it gives when you cast flash of light.

Use divine storm glyph and get the divine storm idol. It does a lot of dmg and a lot of healing! As soon as possible work your way up to getting 2 pc tier 10 as well it helps soooo much to be able to cast divine storm more lol!

lots of people say going into pit of saron regular mode and doing garfrost to get the two ton hammers for your pallys is like the easiest most efficient way to get a weapon upgrade and a badge/some gold and if you keep resetting it you're gonna be able to get a ton of badges that way. I remember reading a thread not to long ago that one of the boxers here farms him 50 kills a night easily and farms that for badges and gold. This could be the easiest/best option for a group of pallys starting out(provided you get down forge of souls first but you COULD do that solo or kick your 4'th ret and get a healer pug to help) and if you have trouble you can get all the pallys the EASILY FARMABLE frost resist set to make it a SIMPLE fight. This prolly could be the best way for you to go if you're low on cash Just remember KEEP TRYING! there's SOOOO much you can do with your pallys once you figure out how their abilities work, write a TON of macros for healing(or get some kind of grid/vohudo addon that allows you to click and heal **this requires you to use innerspace tho so you can use repeater regions)and gear up some. Once you get a few pieces of gear you're gonna get more and more! It starts to come easily after a while so keep at it!~ I myself have managed to solo glory of the hero with my 5 pallys, which was an amazing feat!

good luck and keep tryin!
