In fact, all existing paladin tier/badge gear is being reitemized to have zero INT or spelldamage, and having strength instead. Smaller mana pools, but they get mana back with every dodge/block/parry with the new Blessing of Sanctuary.<br/><br/>What applies to live today will not apply to 3.0. Very new mechanics for tankadins. FYI, protection pallys are *supposed* to be stacking strength in 3.0/WOTLK.

Yes...even though i'm 50 feet below her....<br/><br/>Thats when she does the Breath thing which if you're not prepared for it can wipe out most of your health.

For shame! I think you almost have that much base mana. Was he stacking strength too? Glad to see you made it out victorious. I have never even seen Onyxia, but my bro was telling me there is a flying stage that more or less requires ranged dps of some kind. How do you deal with that? I would love to solo Onyxia and a lot of that old world content. There is some cool stuff in Azeroth that is greatly under appreciated I think. And many of the TBC babies, like myself, have never even seen half of the content in Azeroth. Of course the WotLK babies will miss both Azeroth and Outland. But if you are a slacker like me, you've missed a huge chunk of Outland anyone. <br/><br/>I don't intend to make the same mistake in WotLK. The prot pally had 3.5k mana?! For shame!

One potion a fight. They're trying to eliminate chaining potions, and making mana conservation important again. It’s intentional. One potion a fight.
