Death Knight Learning Curve, a Good Place to Train
In HFP, there’s the Valley of Bones, close to Zeth’Gor, with buzzards which will normally aggro on death. With Death Grip, you can pull one away safely, kill it, and then start a 3-4 buzzard chain in short sequence.
These chains should be a good way to get really familiar with the cooldowns of abilities, and [...]
Some Thoughts on Death Knight Versatility
One thing I found rather fascinating with the DK: each spec handles quite differently than the other two, even if all you’re doing is solo PvE.
Let me explain. My “for keeps” first Death Knight is now a level 62 orc. I specced him unholy, did my rounds in the starter zone, the Plaguelands and now [...]
Will 3.1 Dual Specs Become the Rug Under Which Design Issues Will Be Swept?
As you’ve heard already, Blizzard plans to bring an option to switch between two specs at the drop of a hat (probably out of combat) including switching your gliph selection in the process. A neat feature on the surface, right? In particular for all tanks and healers.

Jumping the Wrath Gun?
The WoW community is currently subjected to a wave of commentary, analysis and speculation about so-called leaked talent information from the Wrath Alpha. Already the indignation runs high in some circles, while those rumours get dissected and rejected by the interested parties.
Draele on Improving Warlock Talent Trees
Draele of Rantings of the Afflicted spent some time recently to think about issues with the Warlock class.
