For whatever reason, it works on the judging paladin (and perhaps anyone else who has Divinity) but not on, say, a hunter. I know, weird, eh? Still, <a href=\"http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=721\" target=\"_blank\">here are the results <\/a>of the experiment I did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) &#8220;stained shadowcraft tunic&#8221; &#8220;enhancement shaman&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, no, go get the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=48677\" target=\"_blank\">Champion&#8217;s Deathdealer Breastplate<\/a>. I know it&#8217;s mail, but even before 40, you&#8217;ll be able to equip it. It&#8217;ll be leather, effectively, &#8217;till you ding 40 and then it&#8217;ll become mail. Same deal for your shoulders, get the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=44101\" target=\"_blank\">Prized Beastmaster&#8217;s Mantle<\/a>. Apart from anything else, intellect is a good stat to have &#8212; not only will it extend your mana pool, but also if you&#8217;re properly specced in the 50s or thereabouts, you&#8217;ll be getting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=30814\" target=\"_blank\">Mental Quickness<\/a>, adding to your attack power from your intellect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) anyway to keep focus frame through valithria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not that I&#8217;ve seen. &gt;&lt; I use a macro to focus her:<\/p>\n<p>\/focus Valithria Dreamwalker<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) blood prince council+holy priest+bad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nah, not bad. What we&#8217;ll typically do is 1-2 holy paladins, 1 disc priest, 1 resto druid, 1-2 resto shammies and a holy priest. The holy priest does very well in topping people off, saving people from their own idiocy. We have the shammies helping on tanks if we&#8217;ve just got the one holy pally, so the priest gets his Circle of Hax on and his Empowered Renew blasting through the raid. Works pretty well.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re thinking their numbers suck, look at their assignments. Are they assigned to the raid with 3 resto druids? Then yes, they will appear &#8220;bad&#8221;. But unless you&#8217;re losing a bunch of people due to lack of heals (and not their own stupidity), your holy priest is probably doing fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) can you remove mutated plague with divine protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, first of all, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=498\" target=\"_blank\">Divine Protection<\/a> is the paladin equivalent of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=871\" target=\"_blank\">Shield Wall<\/a>. So no, Divine Protection is not going to wipe Mutated Plague off the tank.<\/p>\n<p>Mutated Plague is the debuff that Professor Putricide stacks on the tanks in Phase 3 of his encounter. Typically, on 25-man, we have Tank 1 take 2 stacks, then Tank 2 takes 2, then Tank 3 takes 2, then T1 takes 1, T2 takes 1, T3 takes 1, and so on until the good Professor is dead.<\/p>\n<p>What WOULD drop Mutated Plague off is Divine Shield. But you DO NOT want to do this (and I suspect that&#8217;s why you asked if DP would wipe it off) because if MP drops off any target for any reason, it&#8217;ll heal the boss for a certain amount per stack that was on the tank. That includes tank death, that includes bubbling.<\/p>\n<p>So please do feel free to use Divine Protection in P3 of Professor Putricide. :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) cataclysm &#8220;level 85&#8243;+&#8221;experience needed&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, there&#8217;s like no information out for Cataclysm yet. I don&#8217;t think the Friends and Family Closed Alpha is even out yet. However, considering the level cap is moving up only five levels, I would have to presume that those are going to be some pretty epic levels and that you&#8217;ll have to get an obscene amount of experience to get to 85. That doesn&#8217;t mean that SOME crazy space goats won&#8217;t ding in like, four days, though, RIGHT OSEPHALA? ;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) divine illumination cooldown add on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I cannot pimp this enough: <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.curse.com\/downloads\/wow-addons\/details\/omni-cc.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">OmniCC<\/a> is the best cooldown timer ever. It displays cooldowns by minute and then, at 60 seconds it displays by second until it&#8217;s up. This is one of the addons I cannot live without.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) divine intervention macro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From my <a href=\"http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=700#more-700\" target=\"_blank\">Holy How-To #3<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s my \u201chey, I cast Divine Intervention  on someone\u201d macro. Note that you must be targetting the person you want  to DI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\/cast Divine Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\/script SendChatMessage(\u201cDI: The generous pally\u2019s version of  Bubble\/Hearth.\u201d, \u201cWHISPER\u201d, nil, UnitName(\u201ctarget\u201d));<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\/6 Divine Intervention cast on %t.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What that does is cast DI, then sends a  whisper to your target saying: DI: The generous pally\u2019s version of  Bubble\/Hearth. This can obviously be changed, that\u2019s just my sense of  humour. ;)<\/p>\n<p>Then it announces to the healing channel (#6) that I cast DI on my  target.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) divine shield mystic buffet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nope. It goes riiiiiiiight through Divine Shield. :(<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) grid show random dungeon tank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ah, you&#8217;re using Grid and you want it to show you the roles of the people in your party, right? To my knowledge, there&#8217;s no way to show that in Grid as of yet. Your standard Blizzard UI party frames will show you the roles, though. Or, you can do what I do and that&#8217;s click on every possible person in your party who&#8217;s a pally, druid, death knight or warrior and pray that the one with the highest health is your tank&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus question: how to tank as a paladin at lvl 20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20 is when it becomes easy. Make sure you have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=25780\" target=\"_blank\">Righteous Fury<\/a> on (which I believe still goes away after you die, so don&#8217;t forget to put it back on!) and judge your single targets. If you have more than 2-3 mobs, drop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=26573\" target=\"_blank\">Consecration<\/a>. Congratulations.
