PvP: An Expansion in Ponderance: Resilience and Burst

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


Don’t Drink and Vendor

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


Outside the themepark

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 .

R.I.P. Arcane Shot

Among many of the interesting and exciting changes coming in patch 3.3.3 is one of particular note to hunters, namely raiding Beast Mastery hunters.


GearScore isn’t going away… and it’s better this way

For those of you that having been living under a virtual rock for the better part of this expansion, GearScore is a wildly popular add-on that does exactly what it says. It gives you a score based on your gear. The better you gear is, the higher your score is


Content distribution

I had a lot of fun in World of Warcraft this weekend, leveling up my paladin from 68 to 71. I found that the Dungeon Finder would let me do random Wrath of the Lich King normal dungeons starting from level 69, so I ended up getting my first emblem of triumph before even reaching level 70, which given the fact that you can’t use them before level 80 is somewhat silly. But compared to the really, really bad loot Blizzard hands out as reward for the random Burning Crusade dungeons, the emblems are an improvement.

Introduced late in vanilla WoW with patch 1.11 it was the last dungeon to be added before the Burning Crusade expansion, the difficulty was so high, that only an estimated 1% of players ever got to see it


Breakfast topic: Quest detritus

Anne talked recently about all the bits and pieces that tend to accumulate in a packrat’s bank vault , and I’m one of the guilty parties. I’m a hardcore collector of feral staves, tier sets, tabards, and assorted items that I just can’t bring myself to delete ( Seal of Ascension — seriously, why do I still have this?). Unfortunately, the tendency carries over into quests as well.


Apparently I’m a Bad Healer and a Ninja

Friday was a weird night.


How to be successful in a PUG

After a lot of hullabaloo around the internet (in several places) I’ve decided to weigh in on the topic of pugging. (I’ve actually got TWO things to weigh in on the pugging about, but this is the one that’s irking me most today.) This post is along the same lines as my post about being ready to heal Naxx .
