Reader Question: Best Moments in WoW?
One of our regular readers would like to continue verifying how deep the often stark contrast between my favourite hardcore blogging antagonist Stop and me is running, and wrote us both asking to define our best moment in WoW
How to Improve level 70 Horde PvP
Euripides over at Critical QQ relates his past 7 months of disastrous experiences in the level 70 BGs as horde. Although by all accounts how each faction fares depending on the battlegroup you are playing in, I have definitely noticed a difference (read “a slump” to put it politely) between the level 70 bracket and [...]
Tobold on Death Knights as Tanks
Tobold ponders about how Death Knights will affect the tanking classes, in particular warriors, reflecting in anticipation a bit of the class angst which was palpable when patch 2.0 hit and bears and paladins suddenly became tank-viable to a point.
Since January is a good time to delve a bit into futurology, how the tanking corps [...]
Guild runs instead of PUGs are always so much… uh…
The guild had a plan involving some birdies, so a quick gathering of heroes made off to Sethekk Halls, yours truly with shield and mace to tank the thing.
Our mage called a bio. Then boredom hit like lightning.
Our warlock explained he was overcome by an irrepressible urge…
Eventually, I screwed a pull in the room before [...]
Returning to Shadow Labs
As I have mentioned before, I have had a rocky time in SL. Back when I was tank spec before hitting 70, we never made it past Vorpil. When I was healadin, we often had rocky runs, wiping once or twice clearing before Blackheart and then again dying to Vorpil at least once. Murmur I [...]
No, Shorsha, Causing a Huntard to Leave doesn’t make you a Jerk
Often, PUGs are a lot better than what the constant barrage of horror stories suggest, and with the bad reputations such random gathering of people have, there’s ample opportunity to be pleasantly surprised when things work out well.
Sometimes, though, you do run into genuinely bad players, who do not just play subpar but will also [...]
Revisiting Ramparts for fun
One of the guildies wanted to get an alt through Ramparts, so we assembled a PUG and went on our merry way.
Or rather, wanted to go. Doomhammer EU was afflicted by massive bouts of lag yesterday, and apparently (though this might have been all-European) Brewfest had been restarted in error on the server previously.
In fact, [...]
First Heroics
Last night, in the middle of WSG, our esteemed GM suddenly asks if I can replace her in heroic Ramparts, as she has to leave. Despite knowing that my gear is slightly sub-par for heroics (sitting on +1173 healing with talents), I decided to join, since the tank was one of our guildies, a fine [...]
A Problem with healing in BGs? I think not.
Here is my tit for wowinsider’s tat, one screenshot for another. No, there isn’t a problem with healing in BGs, nor with lock drains. There is good BG PUGs and bad BG PUGs, like with any random group experience. And while every single wowinsider poster is trying to outrace his peers commenting about patch 2.3 [...]
