Active Blogging Shaman Found
Phew. After a long hunt for the elusive active shaman, I found Moliu, who writes about life as a restoration shaman as well as his other interests. Do check out his Resto Shaman Notes 2.0 which make for a nice intro to keeping people alive and well.
That’s the last class covered with at least one [...]
Addons in Review: ClosetGnome and ClosetGnome Banker
ClosetGnome is a gear-swapper addon, a descendant of the venerable ItemRack and its consort. Some classes have little to no use for such tools, but those among us who have to juggle with 3 or 4 gear sets to accomplish anything in this game will find this extremely useful.
ClosetGnome is an Ace2-based add-on written by [...]
Arena in Pictures
About 40 minutes before the points rolled over, Steptoe and me managed to go back for our missing games.
We won some, we lost some, we continued after reaching 10 games to try and get to the elusive 1700 rating. Never made it tonight.
During a warm-up skirmish, we faced that wonderful example of ultimate maturity, one [...]

Arena Interrupta
I had read about it on our battlegroup’s forum and on Sunday we experienced it first hand: Once you get close to the 1700 rating, you will start facing people in full glad gear and may also very well end up matched against teams with a much higher rating, simply because there isn’t enough people [...]
Blogroll Additions, end of October Edition
It’s time to put a spotlight on a couple of blogs I added to my blogroll.
First, I’m happy to announce that after a lot of searching and a bit of luck, I was finally able to find two active mage-oriented blogs I’d like to recommend you for the Arcanistic perspective they add to the game: [...]
Why Nerf Calling is Wrong
OK, this is going to be another rant. Sorry for that.
In connection to my previous venting, there’s another element which annoys me to no end, the endless calls for Nerfing you have to wade through not just on the o-boards but pretty much any generalistic type forum related to the game.
Contrary to wide-spread belief, especially [...]
Of Welfare Epics and Loot Envy
This will be a massive rant. You have been warned.
In a response to those commenting the follow-up to his popular “Blizzard Hates You” post, Fate reposted the old tired complaint many raiders have about Arena, “lose 10 games a week and you’ll end up in great gear nonetheless”.
Let me hasten to say that this isn’t [...]
A neat little pet trick before patch 2.3
So you have a pet and care about its health in tricky AoE situations, like boss fights.
The coming patch will bring some AI improvements to hunter pets which will try to keep in the enemy’s back whenever possible. However, until the patch goes live, there’s something you can do to ensure your pet stays at [...]
Man, I missed Barrens Chat
My chat log is full of teh win tonight.
Granted, I’m an ass, but I keep wondering why people believe having scraped 10g together for a tabard is such a strong selling point…
Cause for Xenophobia found? Hopscotch is so damn divisive.

PTR 2.3 - Retadins will retain tanking capabilities
Blessing of King’s Coriel and all Hybrid-minded pallies will be glad to learn that their plea has not fallen on deaf ears: On the latest 2.3 test build, Fanaticism has been changed so that the threat reduction isn’t active when Righteous Fury is up.
If you haven’t paid attention to this whole matter yet, Paladins have [...]
