I’ve tried to gather lots of mobs with my ret pally but they all fall down dead too fast.
I’ve got an 80 Feral Druid, Prot Paladin and Prot Warrior. Which one you may want to tank with depends on your personality more than anything else. I started with my Druid, and he’s my basis for comparison. Compared to a Druid, a Warrior tank feels much more mobile, and more versatile. He can quickly get to problem areas, and has more tools for any situation. The Druid compared to the Warrior feels more sturdy, with fewer buttons to press to get the same job done. He’s a straightforward kind of bear. The Paladin tank compared to either the Warrior or the Druid feels very detached, above the fray. His rotation is practically the same no matter what you’re fighting, but like the Druid he has fewer buttons to remember in an emergency. The Paladin feels sturdier than the Warrior, slower but with as many tools. The Paladin feels complicated compared to a Bear, with a fun rotation that’s not terribly button-mashy.
I cannot speak for the DK, since my highest is only about 65, but as the anti-paladin he’s got some of the same AoE versatility as a Paladin with the wide variety of emergency buttons of the Warrior.
If I were in your position, I’d pick up some pieces of tank gear (check the Auction House for “Tempered Saronite” to get started) and queue for random dungeons. At 74, expectations on your ability won’t be so high that you’re not able to get started, and you’d prefer to start now than at 80. Your primary spells will be Consecrate, Judgement (any, I like Wisdom), Hammer of the Righteous, and Holy Shield. At 75 you will add Shield of Righteousness. Good luck!
FWIW, you can only trade BoP drops or conjured items cross-realm. So unless he happened to be on the same server as you, even if he wanted to trade the item over, he couldn’t.
There’s **no **excuse for this now that you can teleport out and in any time you want with the random dungeon matcher. I dunno how good you are from confrontation (probably not very, if you’re too shy to come run with *us *:D), but next time, you can try telling the Hunter to go get their pet, and then port out to stable it when they’re ready to tame the new one.
To be fair, Guns, you can make trolls cry.
Well, yeah, but that’s in the Pit. I’m mostly a civilized person outside of there. … Mostly. 
It was BoE, not BoP, so I don’t think he should’ve had a problem.
I’m good at confrontation when I don’t know the person–we think she wanted one of the silvery dragon-looking things as her pet, and damn anyone else.
And…the shy’s only part of it. Cailín–my character in BDL–is only level 60, and I’m not sure how to level her alone without getting bored out of my skull.
Exactly. I think you misread: **only **BoPs or conjureds can be traded: **NOT **BoEs.
Isn’t that about the level of the people who are running weekly randoms in BDL?
Whoops. Sorry.
Last I checked, it was around 64; I could be wrong, though. I probably am; it’s kind of my thing. :smack:
They might be that high by now. But I don’t think 60 to 64 is *that *big of a gap–you could probably queue for randoms together.
And even if not, it’s not tough to get to 64 from 60 in a week, although my mage is kind of stalling out around there (mostly due to the baby Druid I’m futzing with).
Hey! Get away from that baby Druid! We ban your kind here, you know.
You know that’s only supposed to go on in the Tram tunnels, right?
No, no…we just forbid them to talk about it, and then start warning other people not to goad them into talking about it, then a month later we ban them.
:puts the pruning shears behind his back:
I wasn’t doing anything!
Well, yeah. I was just being succinct.
But… but… they don’t even *get *tree form until level… What on earth were you *doing *with those?!
Blowing your mind, apparently.
Sorry, to busy clearing brain-goo off my keyboard to respond.
/popcorn
**too *busy
Apparently you did literally blow my brain away.
Well, not really talking, but writing and not about us per se, but about gaming.
Apparently, from what I have read in this new novel called Roadside Crosses, there’s a game called Dimension Quest which is even bloodier and more popular than our beloved WoW.
He gets the terminology right (“corpse camping”, for example), but I think he’s kinda wrong in painting us as recluses who do nothing but sit in front of our computers and living in an alternative “world”.
Yes, I love it there, and I love role-playing, but not to the point where I don’t eat or neglect personal hygiene.
Thanks

Yes absolutely, this is something I am trying to learn now. I have failed a couple of group quests in Icecrown as Prot so I am going to give them a go as Holy. I’m thinking the no knockback Heals plus the huge mana pool is the way to go. Plus having 17k SP adds quite a whack on Holy Shock, SoR and I think Consecrate is affected too have to check that.
:). Something in me thinks it’s wrong to have a paladin without a shield, no idea why.
I built my first vehicle in WG last night, yet more fun to be had in PvP. Also hit revered with the Sons of Hodir, a good night.
