/facepalm sums it up nicely

Oh believe me, it does. One of my long time friends from Chens Champions has joined me over on Moon Guard, playing alliance no less. He was debating on rollinge either a paladin or a priest... I told him to go with paladin, as the armor would provide a bit more protection against everything except magical and the bubble would handle magic... he went paladin, a draenei to be specific.

I first rolled a human warrior to keep him company, then remember that draenei can be warrior, so deleted the human, rolled a draenei, then The Guy suggested shaman, so I deleted the draenei warrior and rolled a draenei shaman. So far its pretty fun. We are waiting on my guy to catch up with a druid.

Anyway, before The Guy got into our little playing group, Mr. Paladin and I were talking in party chat about making cash quickly and he started in on how he was picking up mining with the gold average price for a stack of copper at about a gold each.

Just read what followed:


Right after that was taken I threatened to post it to the blog. Unfortunately I don't have time stamp on my chats... if I did, you would have seen a time lag between the comment about mount cost and the paladin statement... it was at least 30 seconds. I didn't have time to type out the obligatory, "Um, hon, you are a PALLY." before he caught his mistake.

I'm being nice and blanking out the name... if he wants to comment, he's more than welcome to. And yes, my shaman is named Ember. Seemed fitting.

AoE Prot Pally + Shaman w/ Windfury Totem

All I can say to this is HOLY CRAP! My guy and I (Yes somebody is back playing a shaman ^_^) were killing demon-spawn pigs while in Hellfire last night. I was on my paladin, he on his newly transferred Shaman, and he had a brilliant... well, what if I - moment, dropped a box around me, gave me a minimum of 1.5k threat and then started going to town on a three pull of pigs. It was completely nuts, and I think we managed to drop a tertiary target before the main one died.

Now, yes, he's in crappy, largely pre-outlands gear, is the melee shaman spec, and had the two handed staff from one of the first quests in outlands, plus being Salvationed = I'm trying to learn HOW to tank still! But things were going down faster than I've ever managed before on Di. Now, its not nearly as fast as Tzia can pull something down, but its hyperactive enough to be extremely fun... and at this time, extremely overpowered!

Windfury totem procs + Reckoning Procs + Consecration + Holy Shield = things dying very, very quickly. I'm absolutely loving this. All I need to do now is get him geared up and then things ought to really take off!

And a special thanks to an orc hunter on Ysera, who linked me a great Tankadin guide. It was exactly what I was looking for!
