Consolidated "Rate My Pally" Thread

Spec:
Holy
Introduction:
A bit nervous to start heroics.
Issue:
I did a few heroics on my mage before I decided I would rather play a holy pally. I've been running the regs for a couple days, and have well surpassed the min heroic gear level. But I have a huge mental block stopping me from hitting the "GO" button to queue for a heroic as a healer.
Armory:

Additional comments:
I haven't had any problems to speak of healing the regulars... excepting the typical idiots, which I can generally heal through. I guess what I'm most worried about is dispelling. I'm good with the dispells when I know they're needed, but I can't always tell. (Yes, I know to not dispell on Ozruk)
I guess I just need a pep talk.

Gear looks great for starting heroics! Spec looks good too, personally I would switch out Eye for an Eye for 1 in Enlightened Judgements and 1 in Improved Judgement. I know I found it intimidating hitting heroics for the first time as a healer, but you'll be fine.

You're fine as you are for heroics. If you really want a confidence booster you could level that unfinished JC skill and get your awesome 346 trinket to replace Rainsong. That would be a major boost.
Re: dispels. You just have to learn when to do it and when not to. Typically, any fight where DBM or the default UI tells you something has happened to someone, you want to dispel that person. Beyond that, try to take advantage of good groups and take the time to mouseover the debuff before you dispel it.

Spec: Holy
Introduction: raiding normals but guild is having attendance issues
Issue: Wondering whether i should go for the t11 pants or chest first, not confident in raiding enough to wait for a drop
Introduction: ohi, rate my gear
Armory:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/azgalor/uddahwally/simple
thanks in advance
I do not know holy spec very much at all. Since your first Q was answered (Chest) I'll mention the only thing I can see: Your weapon.
You may be pvp'ing as ret, but if you haven't done any yet, hurry up and win 5 2v2 games monday night, then win 5 2v2 games tuesday night, and you'll have yourself a epic PvP weapon. The loss in 2ndary stats I think will be made up by the exttra 200+ SP and extra Int
I may be wrong- but I always see that as an easy option for upgrading that takes minimal effort.

What do you mean 'not confident' enough? Do you mean that you aren't raiding? Because you're better off selling valor boots than getting either the T11 pants or chest, considering how easy the bosses that drop more appropriately itemized gear are (literally, the first boss of both BWD and BOT drops what you want).

Spec: Protection/Holy
Content: 10/25Man Raids
Issue: I don't know what to upgrade/what I can do to be the best tank I can be with gear/skill
Armory:
Antheius
A couple minor things:
Felsen's Ring of Resolve
don't reforge the dodge, since you already have less of it, you will probably get more out of having dodge at this point. Also,
Signet of the Elder Council
MAY be an option for you as the AGI will provide the dodge for you as well as the increased STAM.
Also, stick to that tabard. When you get Exalted,
Wrap of the Great Turtle
will be a nice upgrade. Be sure to do all the quests in the zone as that alone will get you past Revered. A few heroics and you'll have Exalted.
I'd replace your blue STAM trinket with
Porcelain Crab
, or at least have it in your bags (reforged properly).
Also be sure you are working on your
Hellscream's Reach
dailies!
Mirror of Broken Images
is another very good trick to have in the bags.
Be sure to check out the section in
Hatman555's
guide that
talks about variations on potion/food.

COPY and PASTE me said:
Spec: "Prot"
Introduction: "Guild in BC needed a tank, leveled a tank, years pass dusted off the tank, and want to tank again"
Issue: Repeatedly kicked before first pull. I got kicked 3 times yesterday alone, all with "get better gear" style remarks, for random regs. Don't feel my stats are heroic ready yet. Have done all heroics on my main."
Character:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kargath/faytherin/advanced
Additional comments: I know my spec is a bit off, was soloing some of the easier packs on the regs for rep. The double therazene rings are due to not wanting to spend the 5k for JC crafted ring for the 2nd slot vs the Agi one when the better rep ring is so close.
I run the dazing instead of focused shield because I prefer the slow for positioning and I have 3 on the pull vs one ticked off.
Holy wrath glyph is due to all the times on my mage I used RoF for a quick snap control on a bad situation. I can pop it and give my healer a second to finish that cast, interupt that just out of range heal, or give the group time to run like there's no tomorrow (I will die keeping the mobs busy until they can get away).
Overall, I feel that minus a few tweaks, I should be fine in regs. The problem is: how do I show the group if I can't even get my pull on?
I welcome any suggestions and await the almighty Wowhead's judgement!
PS: Bugger, forgot content! Looking mostly as off-tank for trash epic guild runs and heroic 5s. Our guild tanks have alts too and I'd like to be able to fill that role if they want to stand back and kill stuff or keep me from getting wtf'd.
edit: just thought about my captcha - idersurr any (idea sir any?)

Go read the stickies if you haven't already. Tons of useful information in there. Guessing you have tho, since you are posting here, and are doing most things correctly already. Either way, I'm always going to tell people to go read more stickies! ^_^
Quick changes:
Spec change. At least move the three points in
, to
That will give you all around more threat.
Protection
will be more damage reduction that the titan weave. On the next cloak you get, use that one. No need to replace on a low level one now.
Charred Glyph
would server you better for more damage and more threat than
Charred Glyph
Besides the afore mentioned numbers, looks like your doing most things ok. Honestly there is nothing you can do if your getting kicked in the first second. The system shouldn't work like that either for most of the players in those dungeons. I have an instant kick option because I run a lot of heroics and rarely kick people, but once I use it, I have a 5 minute CD for my next kick, and need to wait a day for my next instant one.
Thankfully your a tank, and you don't need to wait a lot for queue times. So just keep going in, and getting your reps to exalted and pull any gear out you can.
I think you would do ok in a heroic with the 15% buff, and some good CC. Your perfectly fine for normals. So take your pick.
Cheers,
Hat
