Shadowmourne for Retribution Paladin

Myrddin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:17:59 +0000

In case you did not know, as Retribution Paladin you might consider clicking off the Chaos Bane Buff to increase your dps.

“Your melee attacks have a chance to drain a Soul Fragment granting you 30 Strength. When you have acquired 10 Soul Fragments you will unleash Chaos Bane, dealing 1900 to 2100 Shadow damage split between all enemies within 15 yards and granting you 270 Strength for 10 sec.”

If you click off the Buff you start to gather Souls right away again and will unleash Chaos Bane right again within a few seconds. Just consider that your melee swings or abilities can drain more than 1 soul, just like Retribution gains more than one Mote of Anger from Tiny Abomination in a Jar. After some Target Dummy Tests It seems that I was able to gather 10 souls each 5 seconds, ao about 2 souls per second.

Second 1: 60 Str
Second 2: 120 Str
Second 3: 180 Str
Second 4: 240 Str
Second 5: 270 Str + Chaos Bane!

You can gather motes right away and be able to unleash Chaos Bane again, averaging at 400 dps! You do not really lose the 270 Str either, since you already have within the first 2 seconds at least half of the Buff running again.

You can easily click off Chaos Bane by inserting cancelaura in your attack macros:

#showtooltip
/cast Crusader Strike
/startattack
/cancelaura Chaos Bane
#showtooltip
/cast Divine Storm
/startattack
/cancelaura Chaos Bane
#showtooltip
/cast Judgement of Light
/startattack
/cancelaura Chaos Bane

Daisan Progression update: Shadowmourne!

Myrddin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:54:25 +0000

The last weeks have been hard on my patience. Each run seemed to drop less and less Shadowfrost Shards and especially the last raids felt like an eternity. It felt almost like so many years ago, as little kid impatiently awaiting Christmas Eve.

Earned the feat of strength [Shadowmourne].

Shadowmourne

For a long time I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to spend the 60-70k gold on Shadow’s Edge in january. Sure, I was never really lucky with rolls or with drops in the first place and it seemed a secure way to upgrade to an Item Level 264 Weapon. The luck with rolls did not really improve and all I heard is “shut up, you get legendary” in a nice way

So ye I was growng a bit weary of the resets and with growing amount of shards I fell back more and more on meters and stuff. But for all that are impatiently waiting, or that are in questioning if it is worth it, I can only say that Shadowmourne is definitely worth the wait, troubles and expenses.

It is quite impressed how Treebearman’s PuG progressed since november. I certainly did not expect being able to pug 11/12 heroic modes in both ICC 10 & 25. I’d like to thank Treebearman for keeping the people together, finding replacements and always eager to improve. Also thanks to the regular members of the group, who have done a great job and helped me to do the quests and get the shards.

I am just a bit troubled how to deal with the rewards, yet. As you can see I used the mount for myself, but I am planning to give some items away. Only 1 person has asked for a specific item and I fail to find a fair way to deal with the remaining rewards. This is bound to end in frustration for some

Not sure, but Daisan is probably the first alt to run around with Shadowmourne and I must say it is kind of weird to run around as Enhancement Shaman with an Alt like that

Nearly 1 million Gold, lots of Achievements and rare stuff + Shadowmourne … maybe its time to sell the Account, got an offer I can’t resist???

Daisan Progression update: Putricide 25 heroic!

Myrddin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:39:24 +0000

The last 2 resets we tried to get Professor down in our PuG. We had a very good try the first week with only 400k hp left on Professor Putricide the endbboss of the Plaguewing in Icecrown Citadel. But since our PuG is on limited time we kind of had to stop. Our hopes were high for the reset after but we had many new players and some others were unable to attend.

My hopes for today were kind of not so high after last resets failure But it turned out to be the best run we ever had in Treebearman’s PuG here on Ravencrest. We killed everything, except for a wipe on Blood Princess, on first try on heroic difficulty. It just went amazingly well. The whole isntance was cleared in 3:30h. Very well done!

Too bad that in all joy, I kind of forgot to make a screenshot :S

The Lich King killed by PuG

Ravencrest has been well known for its fabulous PuGs, but this is definitely our best success so far.

Last november we PuG’ed Anub’arak on heroic – though we never made it better than with 49 tries unfortunately – but this is definitely the new highlight.

Considering we only raid Fridays and Saturdays for like 3-4 hours maximum, this is awesome progress and we can finally get some hard modes done.

More Information

Here is the World of Logs meter for the fight.

Treebearman from has done a great job leading this PuG to success and I would like to thank you for keeping this PuG running despite all the migration issues we have faced the past weeks.

On a sidenote, if you are an exceptional player with decent Skills you might like to contact Treebearman ingame or here on the forum to join this PuG. After the recent wave of migrations we have to fill our spots with fresh meat!

How to Solo Gehennas

Myrddin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 11:24:12 +0000

After the post below where my Retribution Paladin soloed Molten Core I got a lot of questions regarding soloing Gehennas. There aren’t many things that can’t be outhealed by Judgement of Light or Seal of Light, but Gehennas casts a -75% healing debuff (curse) which makes the encounter still challenging.

But how can you do it? Basically I cleared the path back up towards the entrance, to get some room for kiting and started off with Seal of Command and Shadow Aura since the shadow damage is the most damaging move.

Keep in mind:

use Shadow Protection Aura
always move backwards to minimize the time you stand in Rain of Fire
at first get the Guards down
make good use of Sacred Shield and instant Flash of Light
delay Bubble as long as possible to remove the healing debuff, heal up before you get the debuff again.
once the adds are down switch to SoV and outlast Gehennas

I have put up a short video of my last – but not best – Gehennas kill.

Good Luck! Let me know how it worked for you!

Solo’ed Doomwalker

Myrddin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:39:55 +0000

Usually we duo/trio Doomwalker for a fast kill and easy cash, but a few days ago there was noone around that was willing to help to kill Doomlord Kazzak and Doomwalker so I decided to give it a try solo.

Doomlord Kazzak worked out nicely at the start but the constant mana drain and the need for dispells ended up in a heavy consumption on mana. Either I was not able to keep up the hp or the mana and I am not really sure how to counter that. After a few tries I decided to skip him and rather try my luck on Doomwalker.

Doomwalker was really easy, I could keep up nearly 100% hp using Judgement of Light and Seal of Vengeance, it just took some time to get him down

At 20% however things start to become tricky, Doomwalker enrages and attacks harder and faster (hat some 10-12k hits).

Even with Sacred Shield, Seal of Light, Judgement of Light he was slowly wearing my HP down.

The Earthquake Phase during his Enrage is probably the best time to gain up some hp. Other than that I was slowly drained of HP, let Argent Defender keep me alive, saved LoH for the next time I was low on hp, to have Argent Defender available right after.

The fight took roughly 17 minutes, which is a long time on a PvP Realm. Fortunately people were busy hunting turkeys at the time

The loot was 498G and 2 BoE Cloaks that I sold for 275g each, nothing to complain about!

Paladin versus Molten Core!

Myrddin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:04:14 +0000

On Tuesday evening I decided to try to see how I could do in Molten Core on my Paladin. While some bosses seem to not be a real threat, Gehennas and Golemagg turned out to be somewhat tricky. It took me 3 hours to clear the whole place and a fair share of deaths to get the proper strategies for each boss, but in the end I managed ot get everything down.

To make the run perfect I got the achievement and the Eye of Sulfuras in the first run – I am such a lucky guy!
