The Sack of Theramore

Dear Blizzard, This please. Thanks Nibs. It would be ever so interesting to participate in the action rather than have it simply show up as an off-screen event. (HEY, several years have passed since Deathwing broke out and we didn’t even notice).

Dah-am

I make this look good. You know.. for a female goblin shaman wearing a sex and race changing wizard hat of days gone by. Booyaka! Readers who viewed this page, also viewed:Powered by Where did they go from here?

A troll by any other name

I know I havn’t played horde-side long.. and I may be mistaken.. but trolls look different when you’re alliance-side. Just sayin’ Readers who viewed this page, also viewed:Dah-amPowered by Where did they go from here?

Goblin-ing

I guess it’s a little bit sad to say that nearly a year after Cataclysm launch I’ve finally played a goblin enough to -almost- get out of the goblin specific area. Color me surprised. Last night my little goblin dinged 21. She’s running

Innit Purty?

OH THE DRAMA!**

Blizzard Peon: Sir.. Ghostcrawler: Yes, what is it? You’re interrupting my lunch {Sips gin} Blizzard Peon: Sir.. the plebs have noticed that the Succubus does the best damage.. and Sir.. they’re all summoning her. Ghostcrawler: What?? All

Go visit Ask Mr Robot. I don’t suggest -blindly- following it’s suggestions.. but I am happy and all glowy with it’s recommendations. Thanks Elk and Ful. Readers who viewed this page, also viewed:OH THE DRAMA!**Powered by Where did

State of the UI: February 2011

.photoImgDiv img { padding: 0px; } It’s a whole new expansion.. and I finally have a UI I like. This is a deeply modified version of TukUI with a bunch of addons sprinkled on top. TukUI was pretty good out of the box.. and if I wasn’t

Mutterings About Shadowflame

Shadowflame Ok.. so a while back they gave me -this-. I’ve successfully ignored it.. for a long time. I mean gimme a break.. it’s cast in melee range.. blegh. BUT TPTB (mostly EJ) say that casting it as part of your rotation will increase

Oh Snap!

…and just like that it changes…. again. I guess I know better.. it being patch day and all.. but on Tuesday EJ Affliction thread said Imp was the best bet with a spiffy talent spec and specific glyphs. Then, like -that- it changed and today

Ripsnarl’s Ghosts

In Deadmines on the fight with Ripsnarl.. where you have to quickly kill off the ghosts while the boss runs in and out of view.. how do you handle it? I ran into a keyboard-throwing incident over the weekend where I was in a group with a shadow priest

When to break socket bonus

Gems call to me mightily. My inner OCD REALLY wants to match the socket to get the bonus. It’s like winning a little mini-game. BUT my inner mathematician knows that sometimes (most of the time) it’s better to say “Damn the Torpedoes”

Musing on Tol Barad

Last night while cooking dinner (stuffed red peppers**) I had a good chat with my fiancé about Tol Barad. Alliance on my server hasn’t held TB once this week and we’re both itching to get the raid done and anxious that it’ll

Mindbender

I’ve finally posted my cheatsheet for Throne of Tides. Now I know if you’re breezing through that instance it will be old news.. but I wanted to mention one boss in particular, Mindbender.. the headsucker boss. I’ve been through Throne

Since we’re on the subject…

Bursty classes (Rogues and hunters I’m looking at you) who pipe up in Vent with “Hardie har, looket, that last 5 second long fight I hit 38k damage” .. you can all just die in a fire. It’s cold comfort to know that I’ll probably

Petty Peeves

I should not have to log out of the game to update the armory to see if I have any little red exclamation points telling me I missed a gem or an enchant. That should be built into the game UI. If I have reforged an item then the reforged stat should

Six of Random

Random the first: I finally noticed that my guild got high enough (and I got enough rep with it) to buy the BoA cloaks. This is now added to my BoA gear set. I have a nice clothie set that I pass around (weapon, chest, shoulders, trinket 1, trinket

4.0.3a Rotation Notes

I know we’re on the eve of a new patch.. and everything will change.. again.. but I wanted to get my notes down. This is only concerning spell orders. Spec, Glyphs, pet choice, stats, gemming, enchanting and consumables are covered in my Affliction

Cataclysm Raiding First Blood

Last night my raid group downed our first raid boss of Cataclysm. Individually some of us -had- already downed the boss in Tol Barad.. but to be honest that hardly feels like a “real” raid boss. Anyway, last night we finally downed Halfus

Tol Barad

I’m fairly clueless about PVP.. but I like doing the TB Raid. Unfortunately we’re on a Horde dominated server.. and the Horde seems to hold TB 80% of the time. So I’m checking in.. what am I supposed to be doing? Am I doing it wrong?
