I cannot believe how many paladins out there on wowlemmings, or even those applying to my guild, are using this piece of crap libram:<\/p>\n
Libram of Veracity<\/a><\/p>\n This libram is good for ONE encounter in ICC. One. That is the Valithria Dreamwalker encounter. For that, it’s downright awesome. I still haven’t spent any emblems on it, but I should probably get around to it. (I still have Libram of the Resolute<\/a> for my Valithria set.)<\/p>\n I have to really insist that any Holy Light style holy paladin use Libram of Renewal<\/a>. It doesn’t matter that its item level is 200. Let me say that again in words that some paladins who may be less theorycraft-oriented may better understand:<\/p>\n Your Gearscore doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n You remember back last month? When I was all like “What I Look For in a Holy Pally App<\/a>“? Remember how I was complaining about things like the head and shoulder enchant choices and there was all this debate about mp5 vs crit?<\/p>\n Yeah.<\/p>\n I WISH that was all I had to complain about. There’s this one app who is wearing, I kid you not, three frost resistance pieces, gemmed straight up intellect with a Nightmare’s Tear, using the Libram of Veracity, specced 51\/2\/18, misses out on Imp LOH, Imp BoW (for 3\/3 Imp Conc Aura), misses out on Imp BOM for Imp Judgements, is glyphed for Seal of Light and Flash of Light and yeah, did I mention the FROST RESISTANCE GEAR? It’s gemmed with +20 or +34 intellect, too. It’s like… hi. You fail in so many ways that it might be fun to pick you apart if looking at your armory didn’t make me want to claw my eyes out.<\/p>\n (Edit: He actually has Rot-Resistant Breastplate, Belt of the Lonely Noble and Recovered Reliquary Boots… but still only has 491 haste. Gah. Oh, and he’s withdrawn his app.)<\/p>\n What I think is going on is all these people have rolled paladin alts because they reason that finding a guild as a healer is going to be easier than as a DPS.<\/p>\n So they go out and try to gear themselves.<\/p>\n And they’re doing it Wrong ™.<\/p>\n They reason “hey, this is a holy libram! It’s ilvl 245! It’s available for 25 Emblems of Triumph! This must be awesome!”<\/p>\n And it’s not.<\/p>\n They reason “hey, people won’t take me on their runs if my GS is too low so I should get anything over ilvl 200 that I possibly can, even if the stats are awful!”<\/p>\n And they’re wrong.<\/p>\n They figure that anything with spellpower on it, particularly if it’s plate, MUST be good for them, regardless of all the other stats and how all the stats work together.<\/p>\n And they’re still wrong.<\/p>\n I was so frustrated by seeing all this failure that I was going to do a Holy How-To on how to appropriately gear a holy paladin who’s just hit 80, but then I remembered that Codi at Moar HPS<\/a> had already done a post <\/a>like that this last week!<\/p>\n <3 Codi<\/p>\n Most of the pieces have goodly amounts of haste on them. Listen to her, folks. She’s smart.<\/p>\n I guess what really boggles me the most about all this is that the most recent app I described says, and I’m not kidding, “I look in forums, healing sites, pally sites” when asked how he researches his class.<\/p>\n What <insert long string of expletives here> sites recommend ANY of the crap he’s wearing!? Or his spec? Or his glyphs?<\/p>\n This is really what spurs me into writing stuff on the blog. If there are bad holy paladin sites out there, I need to put my crap out there to counteract all that awful influence. :P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cannot believe how many paladins out there on wowlemmings, or even those applying to my guild, are using this piece of crap libram: Libram of Veracity This libram is good for ONE encounter in ICC.
