I'm trying healer challenge as holy. Already got You're Doing it Wrong.
I go in using spirit flask + food since I run out of mana. The main problem is Oto dropping like he was made of paper. I use Hand of Sacrifice (glyphed) when he's getting heavy beating but it doesn't seem to work. After a LoH he's already at 50% again. I just can't keep up with him.
Wait, you sure you're in intellect gear? Because it's either this or I don't even want to know what.
One-shot gold, then proceeded to 3-shot endless 30. Current record is ~49. It's not hard at all.
Steve Irwin died the same way he lived. With animals in his heart.
Gold is easy I'm afraid; Endless 30 is where the real fun begins and where you start coming up with little tricks here and there to save cds/live longer. Then again, I've done endless 30 on 4/5 tank classes so there's that :P.
Its been a while but here goes:
For mana make good use of Divine Plea, use it earlier so it comes off cooldown in the later waves. I also used glyph of illumination for a small mana return on holy shock and glyph of divinity for a mana return from loh. To be honest I needed mana more than the use of loh as a 'oh shit' button.
Talents I chose Clemency for an extra Hand of Sacrifice and Holy Avenger for a burst healing cooldown. If Oto is dropping hard try CC'ing one of the adds with Hammer of Justice and popping Guardian of Ancient Kings.
Thats all I have. Hope it helps.
Ahah, yes, I'm in intellect gear. I just suck at everything that isn't dps.
I used said tricks during gold (like using the mantids' knockback to run the hell away from the enemies, or popping Speed of Light on enraged Conquerors to leave other enemies behind). I think Endless Tank will always be a myth to me.
Thanks mon! I believe I have those glyphs on. Gonna check as soon as I can and tell ya how it goes.

I... I forgot to put Eternal Flame on my bars. Did bronze with 50% mana left, just used a Divine Plea and everyone had above 50% hp.
I think I'll just go hide in a corner now...

You can grab a stone each and get in the queue to throw it at me now...

I one shot Bronze, Silver and Gold as Brewmaster and only took a few attempts to get my tank endless 30 title, but I think brewmaster has a fairly easy time in PG content compared to paladins. Getting all 3 titles did give me a few tense moments though, the healer challenge got very scary at times and the DPS endless was fairly tight as a windwalker.
Funny enough I blew threw Endless 30+ as a dps and healer, however I can't even do gold as a tank on my monk or warrior. I'd prefer to get it done on my monk, but it seems I just get overwhelmed so fast towards the end. Anyone have a good guide for Monk tanks in PG?
Cant say gold was too hard, but definetly not walk in park like bronze and silver. I would call it medium difficulty.
Nope /10memez-I followed Noxxic for gems and enchants (maybe the only right thing I did)
Thanks to Dotcha and everyone else for the tips.
Okay, I grabbed two spirit-on-use trinkets and had barely enough mana to complete gold healing challenge. I don't think I'll be getting Endless any time soon..
Judging from what I found online, it looks like paladins have the most trouble with scaling, and so aren't as effective as other classes at anything. It was a struggle to stay alive in gold tank, and a struggle to save mana in gold healer. Didn't attempt Endless dps as I have that achievement already.
As a seasoned Paladin tank, I was able to get Gold but had some difficulties with it. I cleared it a while ago so I don't remember if I was gearing for Mastery back then or Haste. I remember consistently have trouble with the last wave. I looked up some guides and people were saying that you actually have the kite the boss around. That blew my mind. As a tank, when do you ever have to kite a boss around the room?
People have actually failed proving grounds gold? I got it on all three toons on multiple specs that I've barely even played. Lol..
I put hard, but only because wave 10 hit annoyingly hard and I had a few instances of all avoidance failing and me just falling over. The rest of it was pretty simple.
I did endless 30 on my monk for all three specs, and I found the tanking one to be the hardest by a decent bit. Healing wasn't difficult, just a matter of memorizing when to hit which cooldown, and dps was a joke.
