Comments on: Is Gear Inflation Bad? http://www.holypaladin.net/index.php/is-gear-inflation-bad Your daily holy paladin guide Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:30:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Melvyl http://www.holypaladin.net/index.php/is-gear-inflation-bad/comment-page-1#comment-2769 Melvyl Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:09:16 +0000 http://www.holypaladin.net/?p=1234#comment-2769 I ran Molten Core with a dozen people a few months ago in a pug where I was the only healer. Only one death the entire time - and they were in the low 60s. A few weeks later I got into an AQ40 pug that failed miserably on the Twin Emperors. A couple of weeks ago, I got into another - Full 40-man Raid and all 80s. We ripped through the entire thing although C'Thun did manage to kill several people before he went down. What I really enjoy though is playing the Holy Paladin Tank. I have done it with guildies everywhere from Stratholme to Black Morass. Keeping everyone alive while being the main focus of attack does come close to the "gods" idea. I ran Molten Core with a dozen people a few months ago in a pug where I was the only healer.

As a casual player in a casual guild, it means that 3 of us can run what used to be 10-man raids like Kara or AQ, and maybe at level 85 will be able to run 25-man Naxx with 5-6 people. It allows the trailing-edge player to experience more content, even if it requires some patience. It also lets gear partly make up for lack of skill for those of us who didn't start healing until level 80 :) [GryphonMD] I for one am happy that gear inflation is exponential.
