So I just transfered my druid over, haven't played it since sometime in ulduar. Gonna make it resto.

I have no fucking clue how to play resto lol, halp. Spam wildgrowth and rejuv and get 4pc t9 asap?

[Tajin]

Rejuv afk.

Am I seriously the only person on earth who liked heroic shadow labyrinth? <_<

Yes, now get the fuck out.

I've read several times that if you're not the first person to leave a dungeon group, you won't get the deserter debuff.

But I've left second several times and I still get the debuff.

Can somebody explain how this is supposed to work?

[Eaglestrike]

I have yet to get the deserter debuff if I'm the 2nd/3rd to leave, however I still have the random dungeon cooldown to deal with. Are you sure you're not confusing the two? If the group is bad and wipes and breaks in the first 5min you'll still need to wait 10min to re-queue. The debuff would stop you from queueing for 30min after that, as far as I'm aware.

I get the 30 minute debuff.

I leave by right clicking my portrait and selecting leave party, maybe there's another way to leave?

try leaving before 1 monster(trash, not boss) is killed and see if you get the debuff.

I know I do, I've left certain dungeons at the start simply because I hate those particular dungeons.

[Tajin]

afaik you have to wait the 15minutes cooldown to avoid deserter, or leave after 1 boss.

It's fun until the first boss feared you through a gap in the instance geometry and you fell to your death.

Or until latency spawns the waves of murmur's trash that he is supposed to kill, just as you pull the waves he doesn't kill, yielding a 7-pull with mobs that summon more in.

The longer TBC heroics (SH, Arc, SL) were only fun when Paladins could afk/faceroll tank them. Some were just plain MEAN (durnholde). TBC was the epitome of 'bring the class, not the player.' Melee DPS could never have that much fun in 5-mans.

Nah, the best part about heroic Shadow Labs was the 2nd boss. Who will MC everyone, blow all your cooldowns, leave your paladin tank with 0 mana and then threat resets at the end of each MC phase. Best shit ever. I love being able to do NOTHING in an encounter, nothing could ever be more fun than being completely and utterly useless!

What's a good blood PVE spec?

And what glyphs should I use?

And best of all, the difficulty of that encounter would scale with your own gear. Yay for killing each other even faster once you get T6 but your healer still needs LC rep so god damnit let's just go.

Any easy to get cape and trinket for ret pally above lv200? I'm not sure where to farm.

ArPen 219 cloak drops in reg. FoS. Trinket...heroic FoS.

[Eaglestrike]

ArP is bad for ret. For trinket you can go with darkmoon:greatness +STR.

Yeah I didn't feel like saying 'grind ToC25 for your cloak' since that's not terribly practical advice. I guess he could save up honor for the PvP cloak? Cloaks are a pain to get in this expension, period. I assumed he'd looked elsewhere for easily obtained cloaks over ilvl 200 and didn't feel like waiting for a raid lockout.

[Kaylia]

Prot pally had a decent cloak from frost badge, but the ret one completely blow (expertise + armor penetration = wtf). I'm currently using icestriker, which isnt bad for ilvl200, but terrible with current itemization. Anyway, is the frost badge one acceptable, or the agi one would be better for my dps in the end? I guess the str one would be slightly better, but I'm not sure...

Yeah, but I don't want to pay for 4k gold since I rarely use my ret.
