I’m in LFG B*tch

Drink all day Play all night Let’s get it poppin I’m in LFG Trick Drink all day Play all night Let’s get it poppin I’m in LFG Trick I told a LFG Random group in party chat that if they wanted to kick the whiney ass healer in a random I was DPSing on my Shadow Priest in, that I would quite happily heal for them. “You think I need badges” Scoffs the druid who had been rousing on the tank.  “Omg Guys..


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


So, you’re bored, what do you do? Heroics Edition

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


Around Azeroth: The taurlock

Tired of managing her totems, Naiara of on Earthen Ring is seeking a new path in life. “Ever since I won the roll on the gas mask I knew I must put my evil plan in motion!” she writes. “Never fear, this is just an ordinary mad scientist ..


Mailbag: Where Do We Go Now?

Today, you’ll find an interview I did with WoW In an Hour . We talked about playing and raiding on a short schedule. I hope you enjoy it.


Ask a Faction Leader: Master Mathias Shaw

WoW.com’s prestige in the community has afforded us the opportunity to speak with major Azerothian leadership figures on any subject, and we’re letting you, the reader, Ask a Faction Leader ! We recently spoke to Sylvanas Windrunner , Banshee Queen of the forsaken, and she shed light on several key issues, including undieting, hunter training, building this city, and bouncing idly.


Tuesday Morning Post: Beginning of the end edition

Happy Tuesday morning, everyone! I name this week’s post not in a negative sense, but in a sense that it does seem like we’ve officially started winding down Wrath . Specifically, we recently saw the addition of the first edition of the Icecrown Citadel raid buff .


Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Build 11643 notes

MMO Champion’s got the goods on an upcoming build of patch 3.3.3 . Mounts and pets But first, check out Lil’ XT! Doesn’t your Lil’ KT want a lil’ company?


Patch 3.3.3 – PTR Build 11643

Patch 3.3.3 – PTR Build 11643 A new build has been deployed on test realms. So far it doesn’t look like there are a lot of changes out there but stay tuned, test realms can be full of surprises! Pets / Mounts Lil’ XT finally got its own model, the name is VERY similar to Lil’ K.T. and it wouldn’t be surprising to see this pet appear on the Blizzard Store at some point.


Blood Pact: Be a raider not a robot

Each week Dominic Hobbs brings you Blood Pact . “Alert! You are marked for extermination! Calculating force parameters…


PvP: An Expansion in Ponderance: Death Knights

I suppose I should start with the obvious: Death Knights. Death Knights… well, they didn’t actually do so great this expansion.


The Colosseum: Diziet, Brutal Gladiator druid

The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Relentless, Furious, Deadly, Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters on the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Frostwyrms


Arcane Brilliance: An argument for raiding as a frost mage

Welcome to another edition of Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that would like to assert the following: Fact: Mages are the sparkliest class in the game. Fact: Sparkles are awesome.


Everyone Needs A Break

F ulguralis brushed his robes once more in vain. Speckles of blood and grime covered him and would not be removed my mere wiping


Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Celestial steed video

We just received this mouth-gaping footage of the celestial steed mount in action.


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.


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


3.3.3 Mounts, Battlecry Mosaic, Blue posts

Patch 3.3.3 Mounts Patch 3.3.3 introduced a couple of new mounts and I think it’s time for a recap! Celestial Steed The Celestial Steed is probably the most impressive mount of his patch, it looks like a mix of Invincible and Algalon. I’m not really sure where this mount will drop for the moment but considering how cool it looks, I wouldn’t expect it to be widely available.


Pardon The Interruption

W e interrupt this regular posting schedule to bring you a Fulguralis rant. To set the stage for this rant, you must view the previous post, in which Fuubaar uses a rather odd looking picture that initiated the following musing… I knew today was Fuu’s day to post so I didn’t get around to looking at things until the afternoon.? Her and I tend to IM each other a lot via Gmail chat at work, and she asked: “Did you see the picture.” My initial response was: “Yes, but I don’t get it.” She followed with: “Did you read the post.” So I went back and re-read the post just in case I’d missed something.? Nope.? “I still don’t get it,” Say I.


It Came From the P.U.G.! Good Surprises.

For those who might not know yet, my gluttony for abuse knows no bounds. As a result I find myself in a rather large number of P.U.G. groups.
