AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark III, solo Warlock

This will be a lot shorter than the other benchmarks as I wanted to verify the low-level hunter results. I tested a level 60 lock with lolguard in HFP for a while, all tested meters are consistent with each other and match WWS, with the exception of DamageMeters, which simply cannot account for the felguard’s [...]

Slowdown to Altitis

In order not to worry a couple of fellow bloggers, both my playtime and my blogging will probably see some slowing down in the coming weeks, for several reasons:

I just changed jobs, becoming an internal trainer for my employer. This will have me jet all around Europe about 1-2 weeks per month, and impact my [...]

I dinged 30 on the pocket shaman yesterday, then went to grab my air totem, and just because I could (and had gotten a nice buff), dinged 31 before going to bed.
All good so far. Hope it stays this way.

Calling all Good Shammies!

Are you a shaman? Good. I need your advice.
After more than 2 years having a level 29 shaman parked away, my rampant altitis rekindled my interest with the class, mostly because I actually want to play a different PvP healer than my current main, a paladin.
Now while I will take the lazy road and continue [...]

I’m so Dense…

So here I am, with my epic flyer, some pettycash in the pocket, playing too late for raiding, and while levelling my mage is always fun for a while, my rampant altitis, as usual, wants me to play something I do not have.
I want to heal on a different toon. I want either the HoT [...]

AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark II, solo Hunter

As we saw in the previous benchmark in our series, the surveyed Damage Meters get level 70 character solo play right. Before that one I ran a test series with my level 13 hunter, though, and the picture starts getting differentiated.
Here is the summary table:

The black squares indicate where I forgot to screenshot the data [...]

The Bastard is everywhere

Even in my Aksimet moderation queue.

Caught the bastard, though. And no, I have no second thoughts about publishing the bastard’s IP.

My Damage Meters says Other Healers are Slackers

Convergence. While not directly related to my benchmarking exercise, I read a forum post wherein a paladin states that in his Kara run, his meters show him doing up to 70% of the healing when running with a resto shaman and resto druid. He asks why the others are such slackers and what he should [...]

Gold Spam in the Blogger part of the WoW Blogosphere

Within 24 hours, several of our blogging peers have reported being hit by gold ads in their comments, and have therefore tightened the requirements for commenting.
Unfortunately, where Gmail shines with its rather strong antispam mechanisms, Blogger currently has little to offer in terms of automation.
For those wondering how things are on WordPress, here is how [...]

AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark I, solo

To begin this series, a nice surprise, in the sense that every benchmarked AddOn behaves properly for pure solo play.
The benchmark was run on my protection pallie, in ShadowMoon Valley, the ruins of Karabor, for some AoE grinding. I did 7 pulls totaling about 65 mobs, and while holy shield and consecration were always [...]
