Posts of the Week (Or Two)

I missed this last week, but in all fairness, this is a harder post to write than it looks. Also, it seems it's "cheating," as my Hunter CO calls it, to write a post just of links. Though he also said in the same time frame that it was incredibly helpful to him, so I'm just going to say "Up yours" and leave it at that. This has some older posts in it too, but they're still great!

This is a long, well-thought out post with a lot of information to help baby pallies or those of us who are simply clueless about the class figure out the basics. It's well-worth the time to read. She's also got a great guide to Tanking as a Holy Paladin. Really, just read the whole blog.

An in-depth look on using Flash Heal vs. a downranked Greater Heal. Very nice, very well-written and clear on why exactly one way works better than the other. I'm not telling you which one. Go read it.

Stealth Topic... shh! Don't tell anyone! - Big Bear Butt
Well, um...I totally didn't tell you this, but BBB has a blog post about finding motes and getting the most bang for your buck. Or motes for your time. But seriously, I didn't tell you. This isn't even here.
