    Oh, I thought you were talking about the exp gain.

    yea, thats my point.

    Who cares about stats, I am in it for plus xp!

    also the shoulders I am using (cloth) are the PVP ones, which actually aren't too bad for a paladin.

    worse come to worst, you have a full-clothy warrior swinging at spellcasters
    i mean if you throw a crusader's/fiery/lifestealing aura on a weapon you shouldn't be having much a problem

    Yea, the Heirloom reaper has Crusader on it. And again, the pvp cloth shoulders have stamina, crit and resil on them.

    This is why MY warrior rolls in Heirloom Only.

    Heirloom Shoulders
    Heirloom Arcanite Reaper
    Heirloom Bow
    Heirloom Haste Trinket (soon to be a pair)
    Heirloom Chestpiece (appropriate emblems saved up)

    I am going to alt the FUCK out of 3.2

    now they say that the % stack, so this is my question
    assume you're not rested, so you get 100% experience
    with on heirloom, it's 100%x1.1 = 110%
    no, is the second hearloom 100%x1.1x1.1 =121%
    or is the second heirloom just 100%x1.2 = 1.20%
    not much of a difference, but certainly makes a difference with multiple heirlooms
    5 heirlooms: 150% vs 162%

    I think your math is correct. Regardless. the heirlooms also allow me to just tear through shit and not worry about replacing gear until I hit 80 someday.

    Funny you ask, I actually put FOUR enchants on the Reaper. Unholy, Demonbane, Lifestealing, and Crusader.

    Lifestealing heals for much less, but it procs...more? Like It was a +45 heal proc every couple of swings, but I really really liked crusader better...the strength proc part of it is just so much better.

    Crusader procs less often but heals more AND has strength (AND a cool proc graphic as well!)

    Unholy...was for looks...?

    Crusader is best, unless you are like ahunter or something.

    Robes are warlock robes. (Good for my alt warlock!)

Are they just badges (Good) or are they bought with champions seals (horrible) or even worse, stuck on the vendor you can only access with the Crusader title (akin to a hatecrime) or Sunreaver/Silver Covenant exalted (should be prosecuted in the hague)?

    Happy: My guild did it's first one night Naxx 25 clear.
    Hate: We weren't in Uld because our better tanks have disappeared.
    Silly: We had one wipe because we decided to just say fuck it and do Gothick with all live side. DPS (and myself as a healer) freaked out when the gates opened (In my case for some reason I thought it would happen after we started fighting Gothick himself) so AoE started early and people died. We smash records on a lot of our kills, and got close to speed kill achievements while still being down at least one DPS on several fights.

    I deliberately time doing the jousting dailies so that it is nowhere near the same time as the WG battle. Server lag goes to shit then and I get to deal with teleporting champions and the mysterious "gnome champion halfway across the jousting zone but still too close to use shieldbreaker on."

    From what I've read, it's cumulative.

    I don't know, it takes me roughly 20 minutes now to do the full argent tournament alone with my DK, still with Darnassus left Valiant, and then I can log off or do something else.
