Here we go, with another Q&amp;A post based on search results that led people to my site. I take ten of them that I KNOW my site doesn&#8217;t adequately answer (or that I find really serious enough to answer) and post the search terms and my responses here.<\/p>\n<p>I am absolutely not going to delve into Toravon stuff, because I&#8217;ve already answered a lot of that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) death knight tank stack all strength gems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uh. No. Please don&#8217;t do this. Please stack stamina (traditionally) or things like parry and dodge if your avoidance is particularly low, or defense, if you&#8217;re not at 540 yet. Strength gems, particularly the +20 epic strength gems, are DPS only. Got it? Good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) grid dreamwalker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know, right?! Seriously, make a <a href=\"http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=637\" target=\"_blank\">focus macro<\/a> and put it on a really easy to mash keybind and hit it whenever you zone out of the portals. I spent Dreamwalker healing my focus frame, meaning I could still target other mobs and judge them as well as spam cast Holy Light at the dragon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) lvl 74 druid tank gear 3.3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m probably not the best person to ask for this, but honestly, I felt that the BOA leather stuff worked really nicely for me as I tanked through the lower 70s. That&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=42952\" target=\"_blank\">Stained Shadowcraft Spaulders<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=48689\" target=\"_blank\">Stained Shadowcraft Tunic<\/a>. Good stam, good agility (which are really your primary stats for health, dodge and armor).<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"> For everything else, I went for anything that had dodge on it, followed by stamina and agility.<\/span> No joke, I tanked with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=36878\" target=\"_blank\">Writhing Longstaff<\/a> (with 35 agi on it) forever. ETA: Read the comment below by &#8220;gnome of zurich&#8221;, who really has a great breakdown of what bears should go for!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) rhok delar bow without black dragon sinew pre tbc<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not sure what you&#8217;re trying to say here, but regardless, you cannot make Rhok&#8217;delar without the Mature Black Dragon Sinew. You can&#8217;t. That&#8217;s the string of your bow. But never fear, if you&#8217;re on the quest after getting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=18703\" target=\"_blank\">Ancient Petrified Leaf <\/a>you can farm Burning Steppes black dragons for the sinew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) slime spray tremor totem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No reason to drop Tremor Totem at all on Rotface. There&#8217;s no fear or charm attached to his Slime Spray.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) valithria dreamwalker gaining buff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll presume you mean you gaining <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=70873\" target=\"_blank\">Emerald Vigor<\/a>. I basically suck at getting and keeping the buff, but here&#8217;s what you should theoretically do. Zone in to the portal as soon as you can. Hit jump to fly directly up. You should have some green orb thingies right above you. Hang out in them for a bit, they&#8217;ll eventually burst as you move across them. Keep moving into the orbs and watch your timer for the end of the portals. Do your very best to hit an orb with like, 2-3 seconds left. That should afford you enough time to keep the debuff (it&#8217;s a debuff, not a buff, go figure) stacking between portal phases.<\/p>\n<p>Pain in my ass. :P<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) valithria dreamwalker vigilance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I don&#8217;t have proof for this, but I would imagine this would be silly. First, she&#8217;s not generating any threat. Secondly, she&#8217;s not taking any damage. The suppressors channel to make her take less healing, but I&#8217;m pretty sure she&#8217;s not being damaged at all.<\/p>\n<p>Buffs that DO work and are useful include, but are not limited to: Guardian Spirit, Sacred Shield, Power Word: Shield (for disc priest buffing purposes)<\/p>\n<p>Good thinking outside the box, though. I&#8217;d recommend dropping Vigilance on any healer who stays outside of the portals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) glyph of holy wrath citadel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=43867\" target=\"_blank\">Glyph of Holy Wrath<\/a> is ever better than any other major glyph you can use, as a paladin. Certainly not for a holy paladin. But ultimately, there are WAY too many boss fights that don&#8217;t have any undead adds to justify that glyph for a DPS rotation or as part of a tanking rotation, IMHO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) name of gem purple +ap\/mp5 cut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re looking for an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=40137\" target=\"_blank\">Infused Dreadstone<\/a> or Twilight Opal. Having said that, if you&#8217;re a hunter or an enhancement shaman with mana issues&#8230; there may be bigger issues than you looking for mp5 on your gear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) sindragosa los in corner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t done Sindragosa yet, but this sounds suspiciously like a sort of an exploit. Exploiting is bad. Don&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p>I got lots of Rotface search terms too, but I&#8217;ve already addressed most of those. I should really get going on that ICC raid guide, one of these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woo, I&#8217;m a veritable posting machine today, aren&#8217;t I?
