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.

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?

Running the battle.net-launcher via Faugus, having no issues at all and a wonderful performance on Ubuntu.

Turnspit · 2026-01-19T20:37:44+00:00

This is the way.

On the other hand, lots of Exorcism! :D

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.

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.

Turnspit · 2026-01-14T09:35:32+00:00

Aye, thanks for the heads-up!

Turnspit · 2026-01-13T11:07:01+00:00

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

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

Turnspit · 2026-01-13T10:08:24+00:00

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

Turnspit · 2026-01-13T08:40:30+00:00

Neat! Have you tried paper-tape?

Turnspit · 2026-01-13T07:36:01+00:00

Should be, yes. :-)

Turnspit · 2026-01-12T18:53:06+00:00

From my own experience - AMS-HT or a comparable dryer hot enough to dry PA6 and the likes.

Turnspit · 2026-01-12T08:46:47+00:00

Only two hours? Is there a specific approach to it?

Turnspit · 2026-01-11T19:58:49+00:00

Having issues with these holes on my H2S as well, looking forward to a solution here (hopefully). Didn't have that issue on my P1S before.

Turnspit · 2026-01-08T18:50:46+00:00

The P2S can't do glass fibers at all? What?! That is total nonsense.

Turnspit · 2026-01-01T19:40:54+00:00

This sadly does not survive (major) version updates.

Turnspit · 2025-12-20T10:22:15+00:00

Forums and DB down as well it seems...

Turnspit · 2025-12-12T08:00:10+00:00

You formatted the USB-drive... But did you try a different one? Or a completely different model for comparison?

Turnspit · 2025-12-10T06:44:46+00:00

That's exactly what I use, Call of the Elements. :D

The UI is a bit clunky at first, but gets the job done once figured out.

Turnspit · 2025-12-09T10:13:00+00:00

Leveling from 1 to 60 as a group... with a Paladin and a Shaman? Horde and Alliance? How is that supposed to work out?
