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
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 [...]
And while I’m complaining, let’s talk about Repair costs
Talk about a Non-Sequitur: Poster Veemon raises some valid points (unfortunately presented under a whiny layer distracting from the issues) on the matter of repair bills for tanks when put in perspective with their overall poor farming capabilities.
Blue poster Tharfor responds with this little gem of corpspeak:
Each class has an upkeep cost, which includes things [...]
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 [...]
Fitting the Paladin Class to the Image, another Perspective
With his closing post of 2008, Rohan got me thinking for a while about my pallie, currently my main:
Do I really like playing my paladin, or do I just love the paladin archetype?
The paladin archetype, that of a holy warrior, is really, really strong. (…) WoW Paladins are healbots. The design of Flash of Light, [...]
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, [...]
Getting the Galoheart Kind of Tanking Experience
Logged on tonight, and wanted to go and tank something, anything. The LFG channel was the in-game equivalent to the Gobi desert though, nobody seeking, nobody needing a tank.
So I go out to quest a bit in Netherstorm, since I have a couple of loose ends there. And after another scan of the LFG [...]
Assessing my Prot Gear
Since our Arena warlock Steptoe is currently bogged down by real life and no games will be happening for a while, I decided to go back to tankadin spec for a while, at least to look what the different parts I had picked up left and right would amount to. And it’s surprisingly better than [...]
