An interesting quandary materialised at WoM headquarters last week. How do you raid lead as a new healer? Say you’re that new healer.

Suzina at Kill Ten Rats confessed that she bought gold to purchase dual specialization on her first WoW character at level 40. For the purposes of this post, let us ignore the whole “buying gold” aspect of the story

As a guild we like to do stuff together.

S hort, frivolous post today. I spent most of the weekend entertaining visitors.

(You knew it was coming. This is a rant.) Dear Heroic LFD Puggers: Let me explain to you some things. First, the defense cap for heroics is 535.

So Ferrel wants to bring back the grind and make leveling slower again, while Chris thinks leveling should be slowed down by giving less xp for quests . Both talk about how much better life was in Everquest, where most players never even reached the level cap (I didn’t), and how MMORPGs should be about the journey, not about the destination.

I’ve got an article up today on Paladin Schmaladin on how to run Heroics as a Paladin Tank and not go OOM constantly.

Here at WoW.com we’re on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW -related links from around the blogosphere. Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following

The start of any expansion is a rough time for PvP. I only have two expansion packs to draw on here, but they both followed the same pattern

H ey Gang! So if you’re like me, you’re probably so burned out from running the Daily heroics that your brain has exploded all over your keyboard. Spontaneous Combustion! BAM! The situation that most everyone’s still in is a couple of different things: A) You still need Frost Emblems for gear B) You still need Triumph Badges for gear C) You have absolutely nothing else to do with your time D) You are a masochistic person and enjoy the pain that it brings because it makes you feel alive Well, what ever combination you’re situation is right now, you still need to force yourself to run them. Most of the time, if you bring a buddy, it makes it 10x better

Admit it. You like loot as much as I do. Maybe you oggle over stats on a new shiny with a calculator and spreadsheet at hand

L ast week I’d mentioned that I’d probably be doing shorter, “QotD” posts… then promptly entered into a tripartite look at Cataclysmic stat changes.? Such is the nature of blogging, I suppose.? When topics rear their wordy heads, who am I to back down

In the open Sunday thread a reader asked whether there was any connection between Tamarind founding a new guild for the blogging community and Gevlon founding a new ganking guild. Obviously the two guilds couldn’t be any more different from each other, Single Abstract Noun is a social guild, while Gevlon posted extremely anti-social guild rules .

Reader comments — ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week . I saw you in heroic Halls of Lightning last week.

Imagine you are the president of your local garden gnome painting club. The club meets regularly for sessions where the members sit together and paint garden gnomes. Every year there is a charity event, with the painted garden gnomes being sold for charity after an exposition

LOLret is a post from: Aurdon’s Mage Blog My guild has killed Saurfang twice in ICC10 (normal, of course… hard is way beyond us).

I had so much fun looking at the stat changes for Honorshammer, I thought I’d see what Cataclysm has in store for my Hunter.

H ey Gang! So, Blizzard has finally announced how the stat changes might look when the new expansion comes out.
