I'm so worn out, I've been working on this thing day and night to try and get it done.I've really tried hard to make it a better site this time around, which better features, a cleaner layout, and easier navigation. I had some problems with different
After agonising over it quite a bit, I've decided I won't be getting the Blizzcon live stream this year. I really wanted to do it so that I could post any druid-related news as it is relayed, and without relying on sites like MMO and wow.com to post transcripts
I've been spending most of my spare moments working on the new blog (and it's coming along very nicely), but I had to take five to expand on the speculation about the coming expansion. We're only a few days away from Blizzcon now, so we'll find out very
MMO-Champion has done what they do best and served up some datamined info about the next expansion.None of the information below has been officialy announced by Blizzard, this is only a compilation of information gathered from reliable sources. Just keep
A few people have enquired about the progress of my new blog, so I thought I would give a quick report.I had some problems with the initial WordPress install and a bunch of 500 errors. My host has been really fantastic though, and fixed them quickly for
Here are a few great posts that you might have missed:1. HoTs Tree - Ulduar Healing Guides for Resto Druids (an index)Aertimus has gathered together a whole lot of the druid healing guides for Ulduar, and put them in one place as a quick-reference.Best
Warning - this has nothing to do with item mechanics, healing, theorycrafting, or anything remotely informative. This is purely a personal post about things near and dear to me as a player, and will probably just end up as a silly ramble more than anything.
To follow up on my previous post about the apparent nerf to Clearcasting:Ghostcrawler wrote:We wanted to make players aware of several changes made to the General Vezax encounter upon the release of patch 3.2, which weren't noted in the official patch
Resto druids have a long-standing (it's been months, now) problem with Wild Growth not playing nice with our mouseover macros. The digest version of the story, if you're not aware, is that if you have a dead or out-of-range person targeted and you try
Along with big changes rolled out in every patch, there are usually a lot of tiny changes and seemingly insignificant changes to the game; but often these tiny changes are often some of the most anticipated and celebrated. Recent triumphs in the "finally"
Got bored. Went to Wailing Caverns to farm raptors, despite having earlier said something to the effect of "screw Wailing Caverns, I hate that place, I'll just buy the pet." But I was bored, and an instance is the one place that you can farm by yourself
Ulduar raiders - something you may not be aware of is a recent "stealth" nerf to General Vezax and the strategy used by many druids to supplement and sustain their mana over the course of the fight, usually in hard-mode.I'm referring to tree-punching,
I've started my quest for a Whistle of the Venomhide Ravasaur. Horde characters can do this quest, it is basically the equivalent of the Alliance Wintersaber - but nowhere near as grindy, contrary to what many people assume. I'll sum it up:Go to Un'goro
I actually always liked Emp Touch for the huge Healing Touches I could belt out if I needed to; but it wasn't very economical when Healing Touch is used so rarely (unless you're a HT glypher). Two points for something that I would use usually once per
Patch 3.2 is upon us.Never again will we glance upon the twisted visage of a Tauren "cat". No longer will our bears' jaws sag and droop like so much saggy, droopy stuff.Our feral forms are finally being replaced with shiny new models, after years of complaints
Dear Blizzard,The Threat From Above quest is very poorly designed.I am tired of rocking up to the little snowy plateau to find 20-30 people all "waiting" for their "turn" (and I use these terms VERY loosely) to tag Chillmaw. Now, waiting I can handle.
I bit the bullet and put things in motion, I'm going to move my blog to my own space (sometime soon), which will give me more control over the format, and make it less of a "dear diary" blog and more of a helpful and informative resource. That way I can
Vrykul.I think Vrykul are awesome. Apart from being undeniably inherently awesome, they also look fantastic - especially the females. They're not stick-thin, "pretty" girls like the other mostly-humanoid races in the game (humans, elves, etc). That's
A couple of days ago, Turpster posted a video on WoW.com explaining how to do the Argent Tournament jousting quests.Ever so slightly annoying is the fact that I had actually planned to update my jousting for beginners guide, and make a video of it - just
It seems black and white with most talents. This talent is good; this one is useless - don't even think of picking that up. Good talents, garbage talents. Take these talents. If you pick that one up, you're terrible. This one is mandatory; that one
I tidied up my side bar a little, and added a chatbox. Feel free to use it to say hi, leave a message, or ask questions! (This is about as close as I'll get to Twitter)I condensed a few things that I had at the side, to make it tidier. Moved a few things
This is not a trick picture.In Icecrown, Frazzle Geargrinder will give you a daily quest to use her Jump Bot to jump all the way to the highest point of a nearby mountain, and then plant a flag (Alliance or Horde flavoured, depending on your persuasion).Along
Disclaimer: this writeup comes from experimenting with Grid and Healbot earlier this year (up to about March). If there have been improvements since then, they will not have been included in this post. If you know of a particular improvement that has
Kiiva is 80.When I hit 80, I naturally started to put together a resto set (having levelled as feral and without any healing gear put away), so that I would be able to get back into healing.I was a bit lost, to be honest. When Keeva hit 80, she was still
A look at the druid corner of the blogosphere today shows just how passionate we all are about our forms - whether you love them, or you want them changed.I won't copy/paste the entire Q&A session, as others have already done so and given good summaries
Next goal: 1000g for dual specs.Then after that.. I'll start stockpiling, I suppose!
I'm off to start my epic quest! I'm very pleased with myself - starting from scratch with no gold and no outside help, and now I have my epic flying skill. Much faster than when I got my first couple of epic mounts, too. I think this is the fourth one?
In 3.2, Cold Weather Flying is being changed to an heirloom item.Taken from Wowraid:Tome of Cold Weather Flight is actually a new heirloom item planned to go into patch 3.2. At level 80 players can buy this heirloom item from the Cold Weather Flying Trainer
I set my alarm for 6:30am on Sunday and sat bleary-eyed in my pyjamas, as Stompalina cheerily wished me good morning. I asked whose crazy idea this was, anyway. She laughed. I grumbled.But I had a blast being on the show with them. It was a lot of fun,
I really hate Borean Tundra.Lots of people have their favourite zones, and their most hated zones. I seem to find that most people I talk to hate the zones I love, and vice versa. For example, I ADORE Stranglethorn Vale, and get excited to "finally" get
