There’s a lot of clamoring about Shadowpriests in the current Beta build; I can’t verify any of it since I don’t have Beta access myself, but I will try and make a coherent baseline setup of what we’d be looking at doing in the
Well, pun intended of course. With the release of the NDA and the cataclysmic flood of information on what we (might/will/could) see in Mists of Pandaria you will see blogs all over the blogosphere light up as people try to make sense of it all. Some
Looking back on all the posts I made, I realized I never made one in the style of “Ten ways to…”, so I decided to rake together a number of ways to increase your DPS that, while obvious, aren’t known or used by everyone. Considering
Currently, I am debating the game more than I am actually playing it. The current content is sparse, to say the least, and the economist in me speaks. I am currently raiding 25mans with Unity, we have a 10man Alts run going on as well and I gear up whatever
It’s one of those things that seems unavoidable; when I played Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR) beta, the first thing I rolled was a Sith Sorceror. Guess you can’t deny your true nature – and now that the game’s out, my Sith
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 65,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Madison
Now that the patch day bugs are gone, addons are updated and the lag seems to be a lot less, it’s time to dive into the heart of the new raid instance. This time, the raid is once again located in the Caverns of time, at the North-east part of the
I made no secret of it that I was a bit disappointed at the revealed new spells and talents, and that I believe Shadowpriests haven’t been given quite the attention that would be needed to prevent us from going down on the sliding scale of irrelevant
Blizzard just released a new talent calculator, showing us quite a bit of the new design philosophy and changes to be expected for the various classes. As could be expeected, this will cause quite some hubub as there will undoubtedly be some controversial
The class Q&A which unfolded last night shone in the relative absence of any Shadowpriest information. This is to be expected, considering that we are the odd one out as a DPS spec for a primarily healing-oriented class. Still, they give a bit
Alright, it’s official: the new expansion’s going to be Mists of Pandaria, as reported by Boubouille at MMO-Champion. So far, there’s a few things to be excited about: Panadaren race which will choose to be Alliance or Horde, depending
You will have noticed how far the game has evolved – from a rather geeky ” king of the hill” type MMO, where only the absolute cream of the crop raids, and only continuous PvP awards you with rewards – into a rather mainstream
We haven’t been able to see anything regarding what our Tier13 set will look like – my idea is that it’s either very awesome, or it’s late because the designers got sent back to the drawing board at a late stage in development.
Soon patch 4.3 will be revealed to players, meaning that Deathwing arrives for foolhardy adventurers to try and stop him from his mad plans for the destruction of Azeroth. This post will contain previews of the patch (courtesy of MMO-champion), my feelings
Funny how life tosses you a curveball from time to time. Recently, the Saga raiding community stopped raiding to become a social membership. Those people who were just looking for (or wanting to stay in) a place they could call home remained within Saga.
Well, one festivity coming into town before the old one leaves has its disadvantages. Where normally you’d have the chance to do all the achievements on two or three more characters, instead your main is now forced to travel far and wide with some
Hints are coming down on the next patch, 3.2: Call of the Crusade. Highlights include the expansion of the Argent Tournament into a real colliseum (with corresponding Arena) and a nerf to jewelcrafting. Oh, and some vague promises of class balance.
Well, it has taken quite a while, but here’s a short primer on what your job will be on various bosses in Ulduar as a Shadowpriest. I know I’ve been lazy-assing around for a while, but between visiting events and raiding, time’s getting
According to this post at mmo-champion, we can look forward to another change in the mount system when the next major content patch hits; in short: we get them earlier, and cheaper. That is always a good idea, to me. The latest changes to mana regeneration,
Well, the first signs and steps for patch 3.2 have been made, and they are things to be really excited about; we get mounts earlier for our alts (yay riding through Stranglethorn) and a whole new instance/raid (Colliseum). Also, we get some very nice
As you can see from the summary post at mmo-champion, there’s quite a lot of goodies being added to WoW next patch. Personally, I am a big fan of fun stuff to do, and there seems to be a lot of it. I only feel for those people seeking to complete
Well, it’s about time to make a small recap for myself how I am doing in Ulduar, what progress we made together, and what still is on my “wishlist” from Ulduar. What with the new instance around the corner, I am imagining that Ulduar
Elation and congratulations abound yesterday as we managed to finally close the curtains on Yogg-Saron. We had some good tries where we consistently reached phase 3, and then suddenly…click.
It is this special feeling when you get to the last
All is abuzz about the two most recently revealed changes for patch 3.2 to come: Raid lockout extension and Faction Change. Let’s look at a little depth what this means, so far…this information is parsed from the forums and MMO-Champion.com.
Purplecadet, a Shadow Priest, has been posting some of his concerns and questions on the forums here. While initially ridiculed for “fishing for blue posts”, GhostCrawler did deign to respond to his questions. Below is a transcript of the
MMO-Champion released the pictures of the Tier-9 sets which will be featured in patch 3.2: Call of the Colliseum. I just wanted to share a moment of meditation with you before showing you what they are like. Breathe in deeply, and hold your breath. Feel
Today I’d like to draw your attention to a post made by Misamane, who has set up shop over at her blog Respecced. It explains in a few simple steps how we Priests can use Mind Vision to our advantage in finding the hiding places of the books we
This is the 100th post for Twisted Faith, meaning it’s time to look back upon Shadowpriesting and how it’s changed since vanilla WoW and the state of affairs today. Also, it is time to share some basic site statistics and for me to meander
It actually took me quite some time to properly process the Priest Q&A reproduced here on MMO-Champion; the original version can be found here on the forums. It focuses quite heavily on us Shades, perhaps to make up for the fact that there are so
When I think about it, it’s awesome to be able to speak out about your favorite subject. Next step up is people listening to you, and you listening to others. Third step is dialogue, where you discuss with others about the subject, share views and
