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 [...]
The Mandatory Bad Pugs QQ post
After our Arena run, a tank I had been to Shattered Halls to with whispered me to go to Black Morass, where I still hadn’t set a single foot. They had an additional spot for Steptoe too, were ready to summon, and it looked all gravvy.
It turned out quite disappointing, two wipes before we called [...]
Quick Heads-Up (2) and Musings about Fear
Funny coincidence. Two nights ago Steptoe my warlock buddy PMs me and asks if I know about a lock blog worth reading. Something I’ve been searching for a while myself (pre TBC my then-main was a level 60 lock, so the class is still interesting to me even if I don’t play it these days).

/cast [pet:succubus, target=focus, exists, nodead, harm] [...]
When 2 years in the game don’t make you any wiser

Comes a post asking whether +healing does anything for warlocks, and I promptly reply with no way, fuhgetaboudit. I get [...]
Not all Epic Mount Quests are created equal
When my pallie hit level 63, I hooked up with one of our guildies, a level 70 lock and his felguard, to finish the last leg of the charger quest. And off we went to Strat, of course keyless, taking the long route to the Chapel.
We wiped twice in the process. It wasn’t exactly easy, [...]
