So I went poking through my site stats again. Let’s look at a few interesting search terms, shall we?<\/p>\n
1) holy paladin improved judgements<\/strong><\/p>\n Please, please, God, please have shown holy paladins to go to this entry:<\/p>\n http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=317<\/a><\/p>\n 2) “halls of reflection” heroic howto<\/strong><\/p>\n Head over to Kurn’s Guide on How to do Heroic Halls of Reflection Without Being Lame and Cheap<\/a>. Note that I don’t mention the cliff “strat”. That’s because it is, in my mind, an exploit, similar to standing on the ledge in Mandokir’s room in ZG. In other words, just plain ridiculous.<\/p>\n 3) addon healer is drinking<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, now, this could be interesting. I don’t actually know of an addon that lets you see if your healer is drinking, like that pops up with “ZOMG DON’T PULL HEALER IS DRINKING” or something. If one exists, please post in the comments!<\/p>\n Otherwise, keep an eye on your healer’s mana bar. Basically, if they’re above half, you’re good to go on trash. You can also, you know, look at the party portrait of your healer and see if they’ve got the eating\/drinking buffs on them, or just watch your healer to see if they’re eating or drinking. But thank you for being considerate of your healer’s mana!<\/p>\n 4) can dps use death and decay in instance<\/strong><\/p>\n The quick answer is yes. The longer answer is, let your tank pick up all the adds, first. While Death and Decay is good damage, it’s also high-threat. You’re going to pull off the tank if you drop it ASAP unless your tank is totally on the ball.<\/p>\n 5) does flask of frost wyrm proc with elixir master<\/strong><\/p>\n Why yes, yes it does. <\/strong>So do all flasks, from Flask of Distilled Wisdom to Flask of Stoneblood. Flasks count as elixirs for some unknown reason. And that’s why very few people were potion masters in BC and now that you can use one potion per fight, even fewer alchemists are potion-specced. I was potions for a long time, given that I use to live on mana potions in a raid, but even I gave that up and went elixir.<\/p>\n 6) could a balanced nightseye gem count as two sockets<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes! It astounds me how few people realize this.<\/p>\n Purple gems (like nightseye, twilight opal, dreadstone) are a mix of red and blue stats. Red and blue make purple. So a purple gem counts for both 1 red and 1 blue.<\/p>\n Orange gems (monarch topaz, ametrine) are a mix of red and yellow stats. Red and yellow make orange. So an orange gem counts for both 1 red and 1 yellow.<\/p>\n Green gems (forest emerald, eye of zul) are a mix of blue and yellow stats. Blue and yellow make green. So a green gem counts for both 1 blue and 1 yellow.<\/p>\n A Nightmare Tear<\/a> matches any socket AND counts as all three of the gems and so is known as a “prismatic” gem. So if you’re a holy paladin with an Insightful Earthsiege Diamond<\/a> as your meta (and it should be!), having one Nightmare Tear in your gear somewhere will be enough to activate your meta all on its own.<\/p>\n
