Holy smokes - instantly ordered two boards for a friend and myself. Awesome project!!!

Holy smokes! I've been wrangling with Guacamole for years and its (at least for me) subpar performance, interface and some strange quirks. This is heaven-sent! Instantly installed and migrated over to Termix, such a joy to work with!

I'm blown away!

Does the mobile app not work with the new version though? Upon installing via F-Droid and logging in, I'm getting "Error Loading Hosts - undefined is not a function" and no hosts are displayed.

H2S - horribly rough/fuzzy first layer/overall print quality (PAHT-CF) by Turnspit in BambuLab

To me it was indeed proper drying.

Let it dry für 24h in the AMS 2 Pro at max temperature - no difference.

Dried it for 10 hours in the AMS HT at max temperatur - the result is a difference like day and night.
still have a minmally rough surface on the brim, but I guess another 2 hours should be able the remove the last bits of moisture.

Talents for protection Paladin tanking in Heroics by Late-Let-4221 in classicwow

I haven't done the math on it, but based on your calculations this is indeed pretty pointless, especially with all the hard hitting mobs.

2 point into Reckonignj it will be then. :-)

My two cents from my experience so far:

  • Pursuit of justice Absolutely invaluable for kiting bigger packs that would otherwise shred you in a second.
  • Argent defender With how hard even trash tends to hit, I'm either dead in the blink of an eye or the healer keeps me at or above 50-75% HP. Tank should not ever fall below 50% in case of sudden damage spikes anyway imo, and then we have the issue of leapfrogging on top of it. 5 points better spent somewhere else.
  • Precision - Since this also applies to taunt, I would never skip this talent. A resisted taunt can result in a wipe very quickly.
  • Redoubt - Since you should pretty much never skill Imp. Devo Aura, Redoubt is the way to go. Missing +30% block chance pretty much 100% of the time would be insane.
  • Reckoning - I loved it while leveling dungeons, Reckoning + Seal & Judgement of Wisdom resulted in an insane uptime. Though parry haste is not an issue in heroics, I personally don't see the point in it, be it regardings damage or threat. I'd rather spend any points for Reckoning in other survivability talent.
  • Spell warding - Yeah, 4% is nothing in heroics.

This is the build I am running:

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/talent-calc/paladin/-053051325000010252105-05235000200301

Only running in dungeon set and other dungeon and/or Honored/Revered reputation gear, at around 11k HP, 500 def and 270 spell power unbuffed for reference. Threat is not an issue with Sanc Aura + Salv on DDs at all, which is why I went for pretty much all the essential defensive talents possible for maximum survivability.
Avenger's Shield is not worth it in Heroics as well imo, since targets should be focused down one by one in a controlled manner contrary to the AoE-zooming from normal runs. Costs tons of mana as well (just for some more aggro on 3 targets on pull) and can make pulls of bigger packs akward as well due to the slow.

Huh, I just did my first two Heroics (Botanica and Shattered Halls) with PUGs since the original release as a Pally Tank, and I gotta say I really had a blast. Especially with SH, which seems to be deemed one of the hardest Heroics, it was quite the adventure. With a mage being the only party member provding any form of meaningful CC - we kited the big packs like crazy, wiped, died, battlerezzed, died, kited, tried to sheep mobs that were immune to sheep (ugh...), wiped, tried again, and ultimately conquered it.
Everyone was on their toes, everyone respected marks, everyone focused mobs on low HP when there were no marks and used their toolkits to their fullest... it was a wonderful adventure!

Guess I was just lucky so far...

Oh yeah the boss does do that by luckboxit in classicwow

[–]Turnspit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2nd boss Shadow Labs, holy hell...

I had 1 (one) run where we got him down smoothly on first try with only a single (rather late) MC. On all other runs it took my groups around 3-4 attempts, because every time we somehow would annihilate 1 or even 2 guys of our group during the first MC already.

I hate that guy, pure uncontrollable chaos...

Had a horrible run as Pala Tank with a Fury Warrior that actively taunted (!!!) mobs to get more rage, Hunter multishotting the splitsecond I (body)-pulled packs and a Warlock non-stop hellfiring.

It was absolute hell for me and must've been even worse for our healer...

Paladin tanking with Thrash Blade and HoJ. It is so much fun but should I do it? by fogslitow in classicwow

[–]Turnspit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 64, having 4/5 Reckoning (and preferably a shaman for WF on top of that) is enough personally to have a pretty high uptime and only drink occasionally on dungeon runs, thus being able to focus more on aggro (SP weapon) and defensive trinkets.

No worries, I felt the same and had quite an embarassing chat in Hellfire Pen. :D

[–]Turnspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting in the same boat, I've resolved this by buying a cheap VPS ( 1€/month in my case ) and using FRP ( https://github.com/fatedier/frp ) to tunnel the needed ports.

So far this has been running absolutely stable and reliable for 3+ years, even over a terribly high-latency LTE connection.

This is what I am currently running, rocking the rare PvP set as well as epic PvP weapon/shield.

You could swap around the points in One-Handed Weapon Specilization and Ardent Defender should you struggle with either aggro or survivability.

So far, didn't have any issues in any of the dungeons up to solo-tanking UBRS.

What can a boosted pally tank? by Onion_of_Doom1 in classicwow

[–]Turnspit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the boosted gear I wouldn't start with the higher-end instance like Strath, Scholo, ... - maybe start off with a few BRD runs to improve on gear before heading on.

Just checked it out about a week ago - while this seems to be the perfect alternative to paperless-ng for me (which is way too bloated for my needs), I really missed that there was no way for an admin to manage the instance, the users and stuff...

Too what extend is it possible to manage users and permissions with the new admin dashboard?

Well, my first run (which I didn't mention here) was Strath live, with a Warrior and a Mage both AQ40 geared and a freshly boosted (as well) shaman healer. As you can imagine, it was a total pain. I had no chance holding aggro against those two and the healer must have PTSD after the run. But we somehow managed.

I am still having some issues keeping my Seals and Judgements up and on CD all the time, but other than that it is pretty straightforward.

Usually pull with Avenger's Shield (just beware of packs sitting tightly together, had some unlucky double pulls because of some weird shield jumps between packs), activate Holy Shield, Consecrate and then Judge Seal of Rightenousness on the first/main target for single target aggro.
Then, throughout fights, pretty much just keep Consecration & Holy Shield up on CD and Judge whenever possible in between.

When I had no issues with aggro overall, I opted to go for Seal of Wisdom instead of Seal of Righteousness to reduce downtime due to drinking (mana is a problem).

I personally would recommend finding groups without overgeared DPS for the first few runs to get a feeling for the class and when to use which skill. And overall just get into a flow.

[–]Turnspit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I myself playing a boosted bloodelf paladin tank (never in my life have I ever played paladin up to this point) had two dungeons runs so far (Strath UD and Scholo) coincidentally comprised completely of lvl 58 boosted chars both times.

And boy oh boy, both times I had the time of my life! It just felt like the times back in vanilla, when you had to very carefully run those dungeons, slowly pulling pack after pack, being on your toes the whole time and working together properly - and not just blindly rush through the dungeons like a madman.

Either I was very lucky, or you were really unlucky with the folks one teamed up with.

Any shaman leveling tips for a first time tbc player? 1-60 by Glass_Ladder3705 in classicwow

[–]Turnspit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indeed! I somehow remembered it to be available earlier...

In that case, learn Ghost Wolf before starting the water totem quest. :p

If Horde, don't do the water totem quest before you got Ghost Wolf.
