Newsworthy?
Hey guys.
Not much to report of late from in-game Retribution related stuff that hasn’t already been covered elsewhere.
I moved my Death Knight who’s now 70 to Silvermoon-EU – He’s now called…oh…err…I forgot what I called him!! I’ll check tonight and update this!
The Reason? Well my mum’s new Boyfriend has 2 level 80 characters on here, and my sister wanted us to play together! Sounds wierd I know, so I created a paladin and started leveling him up before realising he was seriously lacking gear and money! So off my DK went – with his 750g on him from questing.
Rage have changed their rules regarding raiding and dkp and attendance. A lot of people have not been raiding much, due to RL issues I imagine. This includes myself. But they have also opened up Naxxramas to alts – so I hope to get my Druid in there for some Boomkin love!
I ran some more tests on the PTR – checking out the new changes to SotM and I’m impressed.
At a test dummy I managed a sustained 3.3k DPS with just self buffs (BoM, 180AP Flask, +40Str Food) and was still able to not run out of mana too fast – with raid mana-regen we should be ok I think.
Also has anyone noticed they’ve added a nice Yellow Lightning effect to Divine Storm? It only happens sometimes, but I think it looks really nice. Subtle.
I’ll grab a screenie later and post it.
I’ve just completed my Protection set – made up of mostly 25-man naxx items – which is really nice! I finished enchanting it and gemming the gear up and in Ret spec i’m running at 27k health with Kings. Very Nice! Now when 3.1 comes out I can try some tanking! I’m a bit out of practise so will need to do some normal runs before I jump into heroics!
Practise Makes Perfect!

Thanks for the updates on the PTR. I like what I’m hearing/seeing thus far.
I to have grabbed myself a tanking set of gear, although mine is only from 10 man Naxx and heroics. I will probably dual spec Ret/Prot when it comes out. I was Prot for a good portion of BC before discovering my like of Ret.

“He’s now called…oh…err…I forgot what I called him!”
Haha thats funny. Happens to me a few times as well since i barely play the DK i created for fun permanently frozen at 58.
Since you have a good gear set already from 25 man thats awesome for rolling as Protect as well as Dual Spec when you need to. As in anything it does take some practise and experience, but shouldn’t be hard sharpening the skills in Heroics. Always remember as Protect to kill caster/s first.

“I managed a sustained 3.3k DPS with just self buffs”
