Matticus Channels Cosmo: 16 New and Sexy Additions in 2.4
Well, Matt, I’m not suffering from writer’s block, but I take your challenge nonetheless.
Paladin Healing: Comparing Crit vs MP5 as Item Budget
Several of my blogging peers have spent time pondering or explaining the difference between stacking +MP5 versus +spell crit for healadins. While I refer you to the two links for specifics, I decided to compare both stats in terms of Item Budget.
Blessing of Kings on Raids
Regular readers will remember I’ve often found myself in arguments with Blessing of King’s Rohan, even quite vehemently so, mainly on topics where two cultures clash, like raiders and pvpers, or casual-dedicated-hardcore players.
It is however worth noting that Rohan isn’t just one of the leading experts on paladins in PvE, he is also one of [...]
Calling all Good Shammies!
Are you a shaman? Good. I need your advice.
After more than 2 years having a level 29 shaman parked away, my rampant altitis rekindled my interest with the class, mostly because I actually want to play a different PvP healer than my current main, a paladin.
Now while I will take the lazy road and continue [...]
I’m so Dense…
So here I am, with my epic flyer, some pettycash in the pocket, playing too late for raiding, and while levelling my mage is always fun for a while, my rampant altitis, as usual, wants me to play something I do not have.
I want to heal on a different toon. I want either the HoT [...]
My Damage Meters says Other Healers are Slackers
Convergence. While not directly related to my benchmarking exercise, I read a forum post wherein a paladin states that in his Kara run, his meters show him doing up to 70% of the healing when running with a resto shaman and resto druid. He asks why the others are such slackers and what he should [...]
Paladin Healing Spreadsheet Revision

I’m at work though so I can’t check it out right now [...]
Paladin Healing Spreadsheet
Following a message board post on alla’s paladin forums, I quickly put together a spreadsheet calculating the proper average heal values including spell bonus and downranking:
Since I tend to fail at maths, you are invited to review the spread sheet here. The downranking formulae have been taken from http://www.wowwiki.com/Downranking. If you wish to simply check [...]
Fitting the Paladin Class to the Image, another Perspective
With his closing post of 2008, Rohan got me thinking for a while about my pallie, currently my main:
Do I really like playing my paladin, or do I just love the paladin archetype?
The paladin archetype, that of a holy warrior, is really, really strong. (…) WoW Paladins are healbots. The design of Flash of Light, [...]
First Heroics
Last night, in the middle of WSG, our esteemed GM suddenly asks if I can replace her in heroic Ramparts, as she has to leave. Despite knowing that my gear is slightly sub-par for heroics (sitting on +1173 healing with talents), I decided to join, since the tank was one of our guildies, a fine [...]
