I&#8217;m clearly up wayyyyyyy too late. :P And I can&#8217;t even blame it on raiding!<\/p>\n<p>Ah, well. Time for another bunch of keywords that led people to the site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) shadow priest sindragosa heroic 25<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have to come out in favour of this. Vampiric Embrace is very useful on any fight with a persistent aura, such as Sindragosa or Blood Queen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) &#8220;pit of saron&#8221; tips skip riding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay. First of all, I hate people skipping the last few trash pulls. If you time it right, you can skip three of the last four groups of trash. This is, in my mind, an exploit. You are not MEANT to skip this trash. This trash is blocking the path you need to take to the final boss of the instance. That means it&#8217;s not optional. Man up and interrupt the flame caster guys on the first two pulls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) 16 int or 30 spellpower holy paladin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bracers, right? I prefer 16 intellect because I&#8217;m a Holy Light-style paladin. Obviously, if you&#8217;re a spellpower-stacking, Flash of Light-style paladin, you want 30 spellpower. And if you&#8217;re new to 80 and don&#8217;t have 2000 spellpower yet, you want 30 spellpower.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n4) bringing in kingslayer to trigger hard modes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lame. True, you can probably kill Marrowgar and definitely Gunship on heroic modes without too much trouble, but lame, lame, lame. Go kill the Lich King first. Then you can trigger any hardmode you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) can&#8217;t keep people alive in trial of the champion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know what? That&#8217;s not horribly uncommon. I had a hell of a time keeping people up on my resto druid when I was a fresh 80. You just need to be aware of the various abilities. Turn around to not face Eadric the Pure so you don&#8217;t get stunned. Cleanse various debuffs off your party. If you get Paletress, Tremor Totem, Fear Ward, whatever you got to keep yourself from being feared. Having said that, though, if it&#8217;s not an exceptional environmental thing you can&#8217;t heal through, check your gear, your spec and glyphs. Maybe you&#8217;re just not ready to heal it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) does having someone suicide in phase 3 on professor putricide hardmode work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interesting idea. I presume you mean someone with Unbound Plague running out and dying to it? Maybe, although I doubt this is what the game designers had in mind when coming up with the fight. It&#8217;s very possible to do it using the more traditional method of dealing with Unbound Plague which is to pass it around the raid. (FYI: you still get it with Divine Shield up!)<\/p>\n<p>This sounds a lot like the whole &#8220;let the first mark die&#8221; on Saurfang thing. Which just makes me roll my eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) dont wanna go to zangarmarsh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hahahaha, yeah, me either! You can stay in Hellfire and do all the quests which should ding you 63-64. Once you hit 64, you can hit up Nagrand. You can probably start getting Terokkar quests around 62-63, too. Congratulations! You&#8217;ve skipped Zangarmarsh!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) glory of icecrown raider total hours spent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow, that&#8217;s a very interesting search. I only have 25-man experience, so let&#8217;s see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Considering all I&#8217;m missing is I&#8217;ve Been Waiting a Long Time for This achievement on Lich King, I have to say a LOT of my recent raid time has been taken up by driving towards this achievement. I&#8217;m taking into consideration how long it took us to down heroic modes like Sindragosa (weeks!) and also Gunship (first attempt). Probably anywhere from 30-40 hours of dedicated wiping just for the heroic modes, with additional wipes and issues on Boned, Full House, I&#8217;m on a Boat, Portal Jockey, All You Can Eat&#8230; So maybe 40-50 hours of wipes.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, now I want to quit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) what&#8217;s the priest bubble shield speed boost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a deep holy talent called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/spell=64129\" target=\"_blank\">Body and Soul<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) what does eh mean paladin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m Canadian, so the first thing I think of is &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eh\" target=\"_blank\">eh?<\/a>&#8220;&#8230; but you&#8217;re probably talking about EH &#8212; Effective Health for tanks. Your effective health is what your health actually is due to mitigation provided to you by things like armor.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an <a href=\" http:\/\/www.tankingtips.com\/effective-health-calculator\" target=\"_blank\">effective health calculator<\/a> from my favourite warrior tank site.
