Leveling a DK: An Introduction to Power Leveling Concepts

Heya guys!! So I recently made a post illustrating the core concepts and decisions you need to approach when leveling a DK. And that in turn has generated some interest in the Power Leveling aspect of DK’s


Spooncraft does FFXIV: Disciplines of Magic

I already covered the disciplines of war and now its time to cover the remaining announced disciplines. We’ve got two more “combat” disciplines comprised of the spell-caster types and we’ve got some profession based disciplines.


Answering the StarCraft II Beta QQ

The forums, my email, hell even my voice-mail is full of QQ . “This is too hard! This is bullshit!This is imbalanced!” Now to a certain degree I can understand balancing issues and the fact that Blizzard’s matchmaking system needs a few tweaks and a much bigger player base to pull opponents from because as it stands now you have about as much a chance to face an equal enemy player as you do somebody ranked infinitely higher than yourself. But the game is far from broken and with a few minor tweaks, you can find yourself on the delivering end of the ass beating.


Newbie Helper: Choosing The Best Class For You

World of Warcraft offers a variety of classes that you can play with. At first, it may be overwhelming for you when you are choosing a class for the first time or starting a second character.


About this site & On a personal note…

Heya guys!! So I just went through about 150 comments that needed approving and some others that were pre-approved but I just had not had the time to read yet. I deleted all of the content on my previous post and some people may be wondering why.


Spooncraft does FFXIV: Disciplines of War

In FFXIV you don’t exactly have classes you choose at character creation. From what I gather you have certain disciplines that act exactly in the same way that the class system does in most other MMORPGs we’re familiar with.


Suggestions for Cataclysm

Now that the Lich King is out and with guilds actively working on Heroic mode Lich King in 25s, people are starting to look ahead with more urgency towards the impending Cataclysm release. We have already been hearing rumors and tidbits for weeks now. The complete overhaul of stats, talents and class balance changes stand to reinvent WoW for the 3rd time over.


Raid Leading 101: Maximizing DPS Uptime

Normally, most bosses are kept still. There’s a cleave effect or some other ability which makes it difficult for tanks to herd them around.

Patch 3.3.3 – Jepetto’s new toys! Jepettoy Joybuzz in Dalaran will sell 3 more items in 3.3.3! Your favorite toymaker added the following to his inventory: Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot 50 (Companion Pet) Blue Crashin’ Trashin’ Racer Controller 40 Tiny Blue Ragdoll 10 Blue posts Quote from Blizzard staff Alterac Valley imbalance We have discussed this numerous times. Based on the data we’ve collected over the years after all of the changes that have been made to Alterac Valley, we simply do not agree that there are any glaring imbalances in the map favoring one side over the other enough to easily sway a match one way or the other.

Stat changes in Cataclysm: Death Knight Style

T oday represents the last in our tri-partite look at the Cataclysmic stat changes.? As promised, Death Knights are the topic of today’s discussion.? Again, I’d like to make sure to note that like everything else Blizzard does, this is subject to change.? With that in mind, we’ll be looking more at the general directions they want to go. For DPS Death Knights Being a bi-functional class (tanking and DPS), we have to look at the changes in two ways.? Let’s check out the DPS stats changes first.? Here’s the old stat priority for Frost DPS: Hit (until cap) > Str > Expertise (until cap) > Crit > Haste The only two stats that are going away that we had some moderate use for are Attack Power and Armor Penetration, but as you can see, those weren’t really in our top five.? In fact, they will each now convert into one of those or stamina, so it’s all good.? As long as you’re wearing plate, you should be well itemized.? The non-plate items will be tailored towards other classes, and we will probably see less overlap, making those items not as good for us.? As a plate, melee DPS, we should just be prepared to see more stamina and more strength.? Nothing big here

Icecrown Citadel Zone-Buff is here The optional zone buff in the Icecrown Citadel is now available and will make the instance easier for whoever wants to use it.

Cross-realm raids and mail are a work in progress

Blizzard’s recent developer chat over Twitter revealed a few interesting tidbits, and this one might have gotten lost in the shuffle of good things. Several of the questions throughout the chat pertained to cross-realm issues, and Cory Stockton and Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street were more than game to answer each one, starting with a question about cross-realm mail (e.g.
