NaNoWriMo

Well, I just got my email from the folks at the National Write a Novel Month. I've actually been brainstorming a story before dealing with how my Paladin got to where he is today, and I'm not even on an RP server.

So, over the next few weeks, starting November, I'll start posting some parts of the story. Ya, it's a little nerve racking for anybody to be reading something I wrote, but it's not personal, so heck, why not throw it out to the wolves, and see how it tastes.

Let me know how it sound to you folks..... well, that's if anybody reads this, haha.

Holy DPS Batman

As of late, with all the dailies to push through, I've been working on my DPS/grinding set for my Holy Paladin. I've heard different ideas as to what should be used to increase the damage output of a Paladin.

In general, for ret paladins, I'm guessing +Spell Damage is not on the forefront of your armor selection, instead strength and Attack power maybe. But for Holy paladins, is it beneficial to basically dress yourself like a heavily armored mage? I think so. I've geared my paladin up with a mix of my current healing gear (with the +damage as of 2.1) and what may be better used as some tankadin gear (+Stamina and +Spell Damage).

Until I get some better gear, I've been using...
Mask of Penance
Breastplate of Many Blessings
Khorium Girdle
Cassock of the Loyal
Vengeful Gladiator's Ornamented Spaulders
Vindicator's Ornamented Bracers
Justicar's Gloves
Battlescar Boots (for the stamina)

and then either the Continuum Blade/Triptych Shield of the Ancients combo, or Oathkeeper, or Light Infused Warhammer.

For the other Holy Paladin's out there, what is your DPS gear made up of?

Rogue Paladin

Paladin's are enforcers of all that is good, defenders of the light. Well, not always. At least if you've got a friend who's an alchemist. Recently a friend of mine "Midnightwar 70 Warlock" had run most of the way through Karazhan with our normal evening group. It had gotten late, and we all quit before the Chess Event, and before taking out the Curator, or was it the Shade of Aran... I can't remember. Anyway, there were still mob's wandering between the entrance and the Chess Event.

Well I had read up about being able to use invisibility potions to get past all the mobs and into the Chess Event with no concequense. So, the next evening, we got online, and waited to see if the group was going to form up again, and finish up the Karazhan run. Well, they didn't, so we got ahold of the Raid leader and told him our plan. He didn't expect us to make it, so he gave us the OK... not so Rogue like, but at least being polite.

So we got ahold of a friend of ours, and I bought him the recipe for the Invisibility potion. Grabbed some reagents, and scooted off on my charger to find him. Got a total of 6 invisibility potions, just to be safe, and Midnightwar and I made our way to Karazhan.

You won't believe it, with 3 potions a piece, 1 soulstone/redemption, and a little luck, we made it to the door.

Just to clear things up, the Chess Event is meant to be done by a group of 10 people, each controlling a different chess piece. We attempted it with just the two of us, initially not realizing that we didn't have to have the King possessed the whole time. On the 3rd try, success.

I kind of felt bad, since nothing dropped for Midnightwar, but I came out really good. Out of the chest came the Triptych of the Ancients, and the Battlescar Boots.

A Holy paladin's dream to get one of the best healing shields in the game (at least as far as I can go) for free.
