I am not a mage. With that out of the way I’ll stop QQing about Warlocks becoming more Mage-like with the announced changes and just move on.
I also only play Affliction (the one true Spec) .. and I don’t PVP so it seems silly for

By now most of you will have seen the druid cataclysm preview at WoW, and seen countless takes on it. I'll try and not rehash it all, but instead point out some interesting bits you might not have seen. This (and the emphasis) is by GC and was brought
Amidst all of this talk/drama around the tree form change, I've been irritated by a number of things (though seriously when am I NOT irritated?). So yes, I guess I feel that the trees who are going "OMG I will not buy Cataclysm! I will stop playing my
There has been a lot of debate about some of the announced class changes for Cataclysm this week. Some people absolutely love the announced changes while others are either upset or confused about what these changes mean for their spec.

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
Editors Note: Another big hand for Pherra, the guy who is thanklessly coding that stupid hunter DPS addon idea.
Blizzard’s announced design changes give the hunter community a lot to absorb in the months leading up to Cataclysm. The biggest
To anticipate where we’re going, it’s usually a good idea to look back at where we’ve already been in an attempt to identify patterns and trends that are likely to repeat or continue. With that in mind, I’d like to spend some time

Man, you go out of town for a few days and look what happens: Mages get Bloodlust and a warlock adulterates the mage column. Remind me never to do that again.
We'll look at the Cataclysm class preview in more detail in the coming weeks in
As I was perusing the Cataclysm information, one of the items that really stood out to me was the new Mage spell, Time Warp.Time Warp (level 83): Grants a passive Haste effect much like Bloodlust or Heroism to party or raid members. It also temporarily
Edited my post to place Murmurs Summary here. He covers everything that we spoke of.Hey again Druids!Our first Roundtable discussion has ended and I, personally, think it was amazingly fun and successful. We talked about a wide variety of topics, some

The 1st round of Cataclysm class changes have been announced. I say 1st, because experience has taught me that what is announced at this stage of pre-expansion hysteria is not what
I was a bit surprised checking my email when I saw that Blizzard sent me a email asking me to come back to Azeroth with some free game time. I was a bit amused since its the first time I've ever gotten a email from Blizzard asking me to come back and

Hey, hey, everyone! It’s been ages and ages since I’ve posted here. I enjoyed the break for the most part, and was considering letting my account with the hosting company lapse and letting Rolling Hots roll right off into the sunset.

I'll be completely honest: If I were to describe the death knight update with three words, it would be these: We need more. PvP-focused death knights will likely be pleased with the new revealed skills, but for PvE death knights, all three hold little
