HAOW: 4.0.1 Aff'lock Pet Choice And Stat Priority

At this point we've covered speccing, and will soon cover glyphing and rotating. That leaves us really with two remaining fundamentals to cover what I would call the basics: Pet Choice and Stat Priority. With so many minions at our disposal, it's

Tanking Mastery Podcast!

Hey gang! I'm extremely excited to inform you that I will be a guest host tonight on a top notch Podcast specificially aimed at tanks. It is called, "Tanking Mastery"! The host, Eldoric, first started doing, "The Guardian Tank"

Random Points of Interest

I actually played a felton over the weekend. A metric felton. I got dailies, got HH runs, got WG runs and dailies, hit up a few BGs, and even had time to finish up my the last "Classic" achievements in my bucket list (Classic Dungeonmaster

First Time's A Charm

So I took my DK for a spin yesterday for the first time.  I'll follow with a spec post soon, but I've been basically trying to do the Headless Horseman every day.  I mean it's a quick 20 gold, right?  Then I remember

HAOW: 4.0.1 Affliction Warlock Raiding Spec

Time to update my series, How to Afflict Others with Warlockery, for 4.0.1.  As I get to them, they will cover such basics as speccing, glyphing, rotating, petting, and gearing.  Some of those may sound dirty, and they are, but not in

QOTD: I Need 5k, No Donations Accepted

That title sort of rhymes if you say it out. Unintentional, I assure you.  I'm going to keep today's post short and spec-free, as I work to update my guides and try to get some time with my DK so I can talk somewhat competently about

Preliminary 4.0.1 Demonology Spec

As we continue deeper into patch 4.0.1, I've found that it's time to deal with my second spec for my Warlock.  Traditionally, I've gone demo, and this shall be no different.  I love having a more utility/survival oriented

The Fall of The King

There are some things in life that are so significant, so cataclysmic that they forever alter the course of history.  Like a giant boulder tossed into a river, the flow of time is forever changed, swirling around the event and reshaping its pattern

I Kissed A Raid And I Liked It ('Lock Update)

We got our first chance to raid something last night. What with many of our addons still busted, and most of us feeling like we no longer know how to play our class, we decided to aim low and hit Ulduar up last night. We figured it was a good middle

Protection Paladin: 4.0.1 Spec & Glyphs

Hey Gang! So, the madness has finally arrived and once again Paladins have been thrown into a blender full of Hopes, Dreams and a dash of Fail. If you've been a paladin for more than just Wrath of the Lich King, what the Developers have done to

Upgrayedd

I finally got promoted to Silver league on Starcraft II. It took me 32 games, winning just slightly over half of them. I think I'm sitting at 23-19. Then I played a few games in my new bracket.  The first thing I noticed is that it did

Incoming

Fulguralis hit the platform hard and rolled to his feet. He glanced over his shoulder as another Val'kyr plummeted off the edge, trailing smoke behind it as it screeched death. Rips in the Warlock's robe from the thing's claws made clear

Writer's Corner

Thanks to everyone who's been reading my stories on IC Fridays. I've gotten a decent amount of positive feedback over the last year or so about them, and that's really appreciated.  Anytime you work to create something, you end

Raid from the Heart

Today I wanted to go ahead and plug Raid from the Heart. If you haven't heard about it, it is the annual Raid for a Cause event organized by Big Bear Butt et al. on October 16th of this year. I believe this would be, officially, like the second

Finally, Official Word

If, like me, you'd been waiting on something concrete before you started to get excited, well, you have it.  Blizzard has officially announced a release date of December 7th, 2010 for the Cataclysm expansion.  With all the speculating

Invasion of the In-laws

They stood before the manor while the first touches of sunlight bled over the horizon.  Most of their traveling had been done at night.  Folks in the Eastern Kingdoms still tended to be wary about Undead near their homes, and Abigora

Americanized Entitlement

Entitlement is a term we hear thrown around a lot these days.  It's such a bad word isn't it?  Entitlement.  Like Newb.  Or Casual.  Or Elitist.  Or Moron and Slacker.  Or Huntard.  

The Dark Lord Approves

Finally picked up my top tier helm last night. I haven't really needed to upgrade my gear since, for a ten man group, I'm mostly decked out in the best you can get (for reasonable effort). The helm, however, was a minor upgrade, and I finally

QotD: DPS... wtf is wrong with you?

Hey Gang! Since there is almost nothing else to do in the game, many people are going back and finishing up a few things while they have the time. Since Fuubaar is my "Achievement Whore", she's been going back and grinding reputation

Cashing In

"So, where are we going?" Mr. Wow asked.  Decedereful cast a sideways glance at the young man walking next to her.  She suppressed a smile.  With all the packs strapped to his body, he looked like a squire. 

My Concern Is Now

Many bloggers have posted their various concerns about Cataclysm over the last several months.  They run the gamut from gloom and doom to unbridled excitement.  Sadly, I think the quantity favors the gloom and doomers, but you'll

Worgen Druid Starter Kit

One of my concrete plans for Cataclysm is to roll a new toon. I mentioned it in passing yesterday, but I wanted to talk about it more in-depth today.  The decision is simple, obviously, and certainly not unique.  They're going

A Few Random Points

If you were going to roll a Druid in Cataclysm, what heirloom gear would you get?  What are the most important pieces, assuming you can't afford them all?  Fuu is going to help me sift through what's available tonight (she's

The Stuff That Only Prince [Arthas] Would Sing About

Decedereful shoveled another scoop of Flesh Flakes into her mouth, crunching down on them loudly.  A poorly snuffed snicker from across the table brought her burning blue eyes up from the bowl to sear into the more natural baby blues across the

PTR 4.0 Paladin levels 1-10

Hey Gang! So, on Sunday Morning, I saw that the PTR was up for 4.0. I figured since I wasn't in the beta, this would give me a great opportunity to dig into some of the Protection Paladin changes that are soon to come.   I attempted to copy

Where is Matt Foley When I Need Him?

Played a lot more SCII over the weekend.  I still suck at 1v1.  I swear, I've watched countless video strats, etc (Samodean, I'm looking at you, kid), and I'm doing all those things.  Doing them well actually. 

Trust A Father's Love

Abigora fidgeted at the wooden table in the center of the run down home. Her chair wobbled unevenly as she stared unbelieving at the man across from her.  She had come looking for proof, but had never dreamed she would find this. "Um, Mr.

Don't Ladder On Drugs

I've been sick for about three weeks now.  It's that time of the year for me: fall.  I'm allergic to fall.  There's no other way to describe it better.  It has nothing to do with pollen count, easterlies,

About Blogrolls

There were some rumblings about blogrolls and stuff.  The short summary is that there are all kinds of different ideas about what should go into a blogroll, who should be on it, things of that nature.  Is good to put friends on?
