Death of the Niche Healer

Recently a topic has sprung up among many healers. T here are lots of blog posts popping up about it so I figured since I’ve been going on about it for a while now, I’ll add my two copper to the public domain here, but first a story. In the days of vanilla World of Warcraft, each faction had access to 3 healing classes


Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Ruby Sanctum and Echo Isles music

Celestial steeds and more toys aren’t the only new things coming in patch 3.3.3! With the new content also comes a variety of new music. Accompanying the trolls in Operation Echo Isles will be an epic score tailored to the event, whether the calm before combat, the thick of the battle, or the climax of the fight, the music will get you in the mood for the voodoo


Totem Talk: Leveling as restoration

Give all Starting toons 1 gold.

Due to circumstances – my Foray into the Bloggers guild, Single Abstract Noun and rolling a new toon as horde with a friend – I started leveling two new toons this weekend from scratch. My #4 Priest Pugnaciouss  ( yes I am insane) I got her to level 14 and a Tauren Shammy  Zahrah on Gundrak who is now level 15 Leveling a priest like that


Blue posts, MMO Report, Comics

The weeks starts slowly because it’s pretty hard to connect to the PTR these days, hopefully we will see a new PTR build very soon to fix the current issues. Is Patch 3.3.3 going live this week? Not a chance


Off the beaten path

Tobold the tauren shaman is up to level 10, and now has 64 gold.


Breakfast Topic: What won’t you do?

I just plain won’t kill critters. It’s a bit of a superstition that I developed after a beloved pet (a rabbit) died in real life shortly after I’d killed a rabbit in game.


03/04 In-Game Fixes, Blue posts

Recent In-Game Fixes – March 2010 – 3/4 Some of these changes have been around for a while apparently, during the latest PTR update I saw Blood Nova getting a 16 sec cooldown and the duration of Emerald Vigor was increased from 35 to 40 seconds. Instability ’s duration has been reduced from 8 to 5 seconds


I think the RNG is trying to tell me something

A short story, in three acts. Act 1: When I first leveled Annorah, the RNG tried to tell me something. I’d leveled her as elemental, and was happily an elemental shaman, until one day in Karazhan I realized I had a full mail healing kit and 3/4 of an enhancement set – both of which were better than my elemental gear.

Tanking Stat Changes in Cataclysm

The Devs have unveiled some of the important stat changes coming in Cataclysm. More so than any other Expansion of World of Warcraft, I’ve come to think of Cataclysm as a WoW Reloaded, or WoW 2.0


Advice on Blogging Safely Without Fear of a Gkick

I sensed a disturbance in the force. As if millions of unsatisfied WoW bloggers cried out in terror before being silenced. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t as dramatic but I wanted to offer up some advice to both bloggers and guildmasters about guild stuff that gets blogged.


Mastery bonus in Cataclysm to encourage proper gear choices

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before. Cloth gear drops in an instance, and the leather or mail wearing caster rolls Need on the item because, “it’s an upgrade”


Takes One To Know One

When you’re hitting up the Dungeon Finder and running through instances with friends and strangers alike, you sometimes come across a player who…


Breakfast Topic: Would you like some heroic with your vanilla instances?

Exciting times! On the latest Twitter Dev Chat , a fun little inquiry for old 5-mans came up: do you think we’ll get to see older instances given the heroic makeover? It’s already been confirmed that both Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines will be made heroic, mostly for their own story purposes.


PvP A Blizzard Employee

It seems that doing instances with random blues on the last PTR was so popular that Blizzard has decided to do a similar thing with this PTR! Ujumqin…

What is a Game, Anyway?

We talk about ‘games’ a lot.. but at the core what is a ‘game’ really? It turns out that defining ‘games’ is not an easy thing to do.
