Hello shadow priests and wannabes (locks)! There is a lot of information out there on the brand spanking new patch 4.0.1, but I thought I'd compile and quick and dirty list of things you should know before delving into your new empty talent
Oh, I know that no one follows this piece o' crap anymore, but what the hell - an update! It's not that I've been gone/busy, it's just that things around the WoW-verse have been very boring lately.So last time I wrote, I
Restokin had an interesting post interviewing druids in her guild, and one interview in particular caught my eye. What do you like least about the druid class & your spec?•Part of what I liked least was removed when they redesigned
So lately, I've seen a couple of blog posts about "how" to win at Gunship heroic mode. The long and short of it? "Do it like normal, just don't get hit by the cannon balls." Well, great ... but
Newish Blizzard "blue" post:Looking to Cataclysm, maybe you want to know that, for normal dungeons, players must discover the dungeon in the world prior to access it from LFD tool. It is possible that you could see attunements for heroics and
This post sat in my drafts for a little while, unfinished because I got busy. So .. late to the party once again.So Sparkle Ponies were released, and everyone had an opinion. The first day they came out, I was reading over my Google Reader
So I did a UI post way back in the day, but now it's completely different. I found problems with Quartz recently - there are these little tiny bars that track my dots that appear on both the top right and bottom left of the Quartz cast bar, and
Anyone else just skip right on past the blog posts featuring Cataclysm class previews? Especially if they are for a class you don't play? Yeah.So I'm not going to regurgitate the blue posts - these are just some meandering thoughts on some
These are tips and tricks I've picked up for Icecrown Citadel as a main spec shadowpriest - please feel free to leave any advice or suggestions in the comments, particularly if I forgot anything.I know this was done on WoW.com, but Fox Van Allen or whatever
Firewall mysteriously disappeared. Can access blog again. Have felt the urge to write again, and have felt like saying a ton. Yay for me, unfortunate for you all! I might go back and revisit things that I've been wanting to talk about, but I think
Yes, this is what it sounds like - as of today, this blog will be on hiatus. I may pick it back up in the future, but I can't be certain.The reason?The firewall at my place of employment has now blocked my blog. Not Blogger or Blogspot in general, but
D's guild is currently working on Festergut on 25 - our dps doesn't quite seem to be where it should, though, since we're only getting him to around 25% before he enrages. We've tried different strats, but once we figure out which one works for us, I'll
This just in from the blues:Ahn'kahet, the Old KingdomWith that said, we plan on making some changes to The Old Kingdom in the next minor patch. For instance, Elder Nadox will only get one Ahn'Kahar Guardian and Jadoga Shadowseeker will only use her Ascend
Yes, this article is still all kinds of awesome. And still relevant. So the beginning of the new year always brings a new set of .... oh, hell, who am I kidding? Same old, same old.A guildmate ended up in a pug with some random person stating the title
Dear Asshat Blizzard,I second that - please make BoE items that drop in instances not fall under the "Need Before Greed" category. A couple of days ago, Avool's Sword of Jin dropped in a random heroic. Party leader, a paladin, said "everyone need on
EDIT: Apologies if this showed up in your feed reader, I was attempting to "republish" the old blog posts and I suppose this is one of the "drafts" (I turned the old ones into drafts to take them off "published" but still "keep" them) that had never
Dear Tam,I cannot access your blog at work (now behind the firewall, not because of the word "games" like most WoW blogs, but the word "sex", ha!) and I cannot comment at home (I keep trying, but keep getting a weird home page when I try to "register"
So Askevar over at You Yank It, You Tank It had an experience similar to mine from last night. I needed the random heroic daily for my frost emblems (not sure what I'm going to do with the ones on my druid, by the way - most likely primordial saronite
Dear Blizzard,Yesterday, I was put into Heroic Halls of Stone for my Emblems of Frost-runs on my priest and then my druid. Later in the night, a guildie asked me to come heal his Emblems of Frost-run for his baby tank, since he didn't feel confident
Well, specifically, warlocks who do this:I did a pug run on my druid S last night and ended up in a group with two ret pally guildies, a warlock, and a healing priest. After EVERY SINGLE TRASH MOB, the warlock would life-tap himself to almost death.And
How is this fail? I don't understand. Oh, it's because he's a Hordie, isn't it? BURN!!So now that the patch has been out for a week, I think it's time to give my impressions. Here's a nice space to prevent folks from being spoiled:.....................Icecrown
Today is "office holiday lunch" day, where the boss provides the meat (turkey and ham) and the rest of us bring side dishes and desserts. I brought my superdelicious green bean casserole of win. I know there are different ways of making it, but they
I'm sure we've heard of the exciting news - IT'S PATCH DAY! Icecrown Citadel, shadow priest buffs, battle rez cooldown reduced, shadow priest buffs, cross-server LFG feature, three new instances, shadow priest buffs, fire nova WHOOO, increased Northrend
So over the weekend, I worked on S the druid's gear (he's now in mostly 200-219 ilvl epics from ToC, along with the Crusader Orb-crafted chestpiece for his tank set and green idols on both specs). I also worked on leveling E - after hitting 70, doesn't
So I got this comment on a recent post:Sad day! I just finally started building a shadow off-spec for my priest. It's disappointing to know that class scaling combined with my inexperience and second-round gear will make it pretty much pointless. That
Blech. I was off of work last week, so I did nothing but play WoW (and Dragon Age: Origins - LOVE that game) and took a day off of game play to make nice with the family and get free food. I think I'm still digesting the crockpot macaroni and cheese,
First, just in case you've erased these blogs off of your feedreader because they are often boring and unhelpful and completely long-winded, some entertainment popped up today.Lawl. More lawl. And a deleted lawl so here's something from the forum.If
Well, I did the healer "not a meme", but I'm not a main spec healer. D weeps every time she's forced to heal. So here we go, Death Goddess has converted the "not a meme" into a DPS version, and here are my answers for both D (yay, shadow!) and K (yay,

This is a quote from the great Tam over at Righteous Orbs:A sudden thought strikes your humble narrator! I think part of what might also be eroding my WoW mojo is that being a part-time, not very srs raider has also – accidentally – deprived me of
