    it's a vicious circle. Maybe try joining a raid guild and finding some new circle of friends and get them interested on an off night?

    vengeance isn't affected by the 5.4 changes, works the same as it did in 5.3

    How accurate are the leader boards? What are the thresholds for titles, im wondering if you get into a certain bracket you get a title and acheivement. because I have 2 titles but on the leader board it shows me with like the 5th realm best time or something like that. Im glad to even have a title it just looks wonky.

    I knew I would have this issue, always see CM events over subscribed, so I just made my own event, not sure if I got lucky but got gold in SH, gate and jade temple, in that one event, turned out rather well, the team was made up of people with either 1 or no golds as well

    Vengeance got diminishing returns for multiple targets since 5.4. That's what I meant with my question. Doesn't that nerf effect tank survivability and dps a TON ?

    He answered your question. Those changes aren't implemented in CM's.

    To the people searching for their "first grp": make your own or join a "beginners" run. There are plenty (even silver).
    I wasn't able to join those grps as well and decided to do it myself. Got 2 friends and 2 recruits from OR, we needed 4 weeks (only playing 3-4h on Saturday or Wednesday), so a total of 16-20h. We "progressed" through each instance and tried to optimize our tactic and setup (Prot Warrior, Resto Druid, Hunter, Ele-Shaman, DPS-Warrior). It was a lot of fun, and after I got 9/9 I was able to get 9/9 on two other chars through OR easily, currently working on Char #4 and #5 ;-)

    It's quite some work and you will fail, but many ppl are looking to get started with CMs and thats the ppl you need to find.

    if need be, you can start your own group of people your level of experience. crazy, I know, who the hell would do that? that'd be like raiding with people your skill level, fucking stupid, right?

    for real though, doesn't matter if you're only getting bronze runs, it's experience. as long as you're doing your best that's all the experience you'll need to get into competent groups.

    You need three players from the same realm to get the title so apparently #1-4 groups didn't have three or more players from your realm.

    From what I read it seems title rewards for realm best are bugged anyway. I checked it quickly and it seems like I should have a title when "You need three players from the same realm to get the title so apparently #1-4 groups didn't have three or more players from your realm." is true but I don't. Not sure though...

    9/9 Holy Paladin here. Here's my tips for other holy paladins:

    - Reforge for haste. Flask for intellect. You want big fast heals. Don't worry about spirit too much, you can use Restorative Amber after almost every pull
    - Talents: Speed of light / justice / EF / Clemency / Holy Avenger / Holy Prism
    - Glyphs: Blinding Light / Sac / FoL
    - Be prepared to use flash of light like it's TBC. LoD / HR are pretty weak in CM's.
    - Avoid stacking healing CD's where possible
    - Hand of Salv & Hand of Prot are great if your tank is having aggro issues on a large pull (i.e big monkey pull in SSB)
    - Hand of Sac on the tank whenever he's taking brutal dmg
    - Voice comm between you & your tank re: healing CD's is critical. If we're about to pull a nasty trash pack, and everything is on cooldown i tell him before the pull
    - Communicate with dps that have off heals to help (i.e shaman) when things get out of control
    - Make a macro for SSB last boss to switch to both your dps set AND change spec so you don't have to fiddle with the UI
    - Some bosses do very little damage, DPS when you can - every little bit helps.
