The Light and How to Swing It: Enhancing your prot paladin's tanking gear (WoW)

Apr 1st 2011 3:40PM You stack mastery until you have 102.4% total avoidance. After that, you should reforge mastery into dodge/parry to increase your miss percent. Until you're heavily into raids, you won't reach the cap. I'm iLevel 345 and still only 75% avoidance unbuffed.

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 102.4 combat table coverage. Currently at: "..string.format("%.2f", GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+GetParryChance()+5));

#show whatever_spell
/use 14
/use 13
/cast whatever_spell

I'm sure there's plenty of other great SP macros out there. Use them!

Breakfast Topic: What caused your first Cataclysm death? (WoW)

Jan 31st 2011 12:01PM Ditto here... Wiped about 5 times on him before we got the mechanic down with the chains and his subsequent AoE. Getting hit for 30k was a big deal back then :)

Breakfast Topic: Which achievement are you most proud of? (WoW)

Jan 24th 2011 12:19PM Yeah, I sat around and punched a fel reaver sentry for a couple hours to get it. I just wish there was a title like knuckleduster to go with it! :)
