The base dps on the two weapons is the same, but since TUF is slower, it has the higher damage range. <br /><br />As for the comment that "it's better that you got MC'ed instead of a much more effective class," that's a short-sighted way of looking at it. The problem with a rogue or warrior getting MC'd is that they kill the clothies, which leads to troubles. It's not like we wipe because we don't have a rogue's dps for several seconds.<br /><br />I can't kill the clothies that fast, so even though the raid loses my effectiveness (damage/heals/cleanses), we don't lose healers/mages on top of that.<br /><br />MC'd paladin = lost damage/healing/cleanses<br />MC'd rogue = lost dps PLUS dead priests/mages<br /><br />It's the dead priests/mages part of the equation that seriously hurts the raid, not the first part.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-67184239127705771162006-10-16T12:19:00.000-07:002006-10-16T12:19:00.000-07:00There is a strong arguement in favor of the Gavel....There is a strong arguement in favor of the Gavel. It does allow for a more hybrid style of play, and it is not a bad two hander for SoR usage given it's speed. He may find SoCr more effective. And it's not really weapon speed that Ret paladins find sexy, it's the damage range. The higher the top end damage the better the burst damage is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558939234651588824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-4755094288805224622006-10-16T10:56:00.000-07:002006-10-16T10:56:00.000-07:00"I think the reason we won the second fight is bec..."I think the reason we won the second fight is because I got mind-controlled much more. Better me than a rogue or fury warrior, after all."<br /><br />This makes me chuckle. You're basically saying it's better that you got MC'ed instead of a much more effective class. Hopefully this will change in the xpac.<br /><br />Also, the UF is better with Seal of Command, as Ret Pallies like slow 2h'ers, as they get more damage out of it with SoC.<br /><br />Word is that Avenger's Shield is currently pretty crappy. Cast time, dead zone, long cooldown, low +spell coefficient, and uses spell crit. Pales in comparison to Crusader strike. Right now, it's only novelty is PvP and pulling.<br /><br />Before I was going to go 30 points into Ret, then 31 in Prot or Holy. The strike is making me rethink that, though, and I might for 41 into Ret. Depends on the gear I can get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-64901168534062647572006-10-15T06:54:00.000-07:002006-10-15T06:54:00.000-07:00Honestly, the fastest way to earn CC rep is to run...Honestly, the fastest way to earn CC rep is to run AQ20. A lot.<br /><br />Sure, you can do quests in Silithus as well, but nothing comes close to the amount of rep you gain while doing AQ20 (especially if Cenarion Favor is up, which it usually is on my server, since I am Alliance).<br /><br />If you do want to quest for rep though, I would suggest doing the various Field Duty quests. Once you have one of each badge type, you can turn those three in for 200 rep (220 for you, since you are human). While the Logistics quests are very easy (just make/buy the items you need), the Tactics quests generally take a group to complete, and the Combat quests can be soloed, but take forever (speaking from a fellow Paladin).<br /><br />If you haven't done most/all of the quests in Silithus, you might as well do so. They do give some rep, so it definitely can't hurt. From my experience, though, you gain rep MUCH faster by just running AQ20.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296955639129709176noreply@blogger.com
