Wednesday, March 10, 2010 [Views: 288]
No Achievement = No Skill. The constant increase in runs demanding an achievement before they'll let you into a run brings this topic. We'll both discuss this topic and what you can do if you don't have achievements.... [Read more]

Busting Lag
Sunday, February 28, 2010 [Views: 1582]
First note: This is the first review of a product that we've done at www.theholypaladin.com. We don't believe posting reviews on bad products. If you're anything like me you've seen the adverts around the place for services claiming to reduce your lag. They do this by increasing your response time by lowering your latency. Lowering your latency has a massive direct improvement to your healing performance. I've tried a few services and... [Read more]

Time Management: Heroics
Thursday, February 25, 2010 [Views: 1465] [Registration Required]
There are so many things to do. Random Heroic Daily, Raid Weekly Quest, your dailies to keep up your gold not to mention your guild 10 and 25 man raids. It really eats up your time. If you're anything like me there is a limit to how much time you can spend playing. We're going to talk about a small part of your time management. Running Heroics.... [Read more]

Interpretation and Understanding
Thursday, February 18, 2010 [Views: 1229] [Registration Required]
What sparked this article was a spirited debate with one of the readers of www.theholypaladin.com quoting elitist jerks about haste and how I was just plain wrong in how haste works. While I don't mind being wrong, I have done the math multiple times on the subject.... [Read more]
In-Game Abuse - What to do...
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 [Views: 789]
We've all seen it before, people who abuse and use inappropriate behavior. While I don't see this totally as wrong, there is a line that should not be crossed and we're going to look at an example where a line is crossed and what you should do about it.... [Read more]

Raiding While Fatigued
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 [Views: 1188]
Fatigue is a topic that I haven't seen covered when related to healing, but it's a very important thing to consider when evaluating a healers performance and can be something that could be dragging your performance down. The reason that I thought about this is I've been plagued by it lately :(... [Read more]

Kids in Raids
Wednesday, February 03, 2010 [Views: 969]
It's no real secret that I come from a relatively mature raiding guild. While we're friendly and all, when we're raiding we put our game faces on. This is what's fun for us. I'm not going to talk about single mothers with kids; I'm talking about raiding with younglings.... [Read more]

Tuesday, February 02, 2010 [Views: 1047]
Remember failbot? Here's the new version. While I see this mod as annoying while you're raiding, and others find it completely anal, it is an effective raiding tool and a worthwhile mod to use if you want to progress and know where your raiders are falling a little short.... [Read more]
Healing is often Contradictory
Monday, February 01, 2010 [Views: 3040] [Registration Required]
We hear it all the time, "Great healing" and "I died, you suck noob". "You got to keep your cool" and "You stupid **** **** noob ****er". "Stick to your healing assignment" and "a good healer knows when to adjust". No wonder we all get confused when starting out as a healer.... It's important to understand how contradictions effect our healing and what we can do about it.... [Read more]

We all wonder how Oparah and those other shows get so popular? It's because deep down, we all gain some satisfaction in feeling superior to others.
