Isle of Conquest. I dig it.

.For a while now, my boyfriend Pete has been badgering me to rock out the Isle of Conquest with him, for a number of reasons. First, it's way more fun to do battlegrounds with people you know. Secondly, it's way more fun for a really good DK to own face

How to make 21man raiding successful

Due to various dramas (of which I don't know the details as I was offline moving house at the time) we are back to having severe issues filling raids; we 23manned Colliseum last reset, with trouble with Horde Champions but succeeded in the end. Last night

For The First Time: The New VoA and ToGC

Last night I got the chance to do two things I hadn't done before. First, I got called in to help out with a VoA run. This was a guild run for a friendly guild, and they'd been about three people short of the full ten. The plan was to start off on

Yay!

Koralon was feeling generous and dropped the pally tank gloves tonight.
I had bought the shoulders earlier last week. So now I'm at 2pcT9! Granted it's the low end 232 pieces, but I'm still stoked!
Going to go try the 25 man

New Races, New Skins

I saw in a blue post somewhere yesterday that the druids who will be joining us from the Troll and Worgen races will have their own skins for druid forms, and thank goodness for it.  I just wouldn’t feel right looking the same as a troll or a dog-boy

Bridging the Gap

It’s no coincidence that so many of my alts stall around level 30. For the longest time I had four characters parked between 25 and 35, two paladins (Myrhani/Horde 30 and Jaidie/Ally 30), a mage (Selmarris/Horde 35), and a druid (Cerveth/Ally 26).

You are 80, so now what? (cat focused)

Alannya, a feral druid on Elune, hit 80 Monday night (congrats!). She had spent months and months of time getting to 80, and then hit the level cap and wasn’t quite sure what to do with herself. Since I’m pretty far removed from the leveling

Worgen, a source of endless amusement

As I was spinning my way through Sholozar pursuing ore for my most recent obsession, my old pal Occulus logged in and said hi.
He shared with me his excitement about the upcoming Worgen, and his intention to make his Worgen a Druid.
Well,

Rare White Elk Day – Answering a Letter

Yeah, I know, I almost never do this on the blog. This was a damn good question, so what the heck. I’ll push back the other four posts I was in the middle of writing to answer it.
Hey there, I’ve been reading your blog for a while, and

For Your Entertainment...

So, while I try to prepare for Anub'arak and the rigors of Hardmode 25 man Coliseum, I thought I'd share a little bit of my WoW life via pictures and probably not very witty captions.You've been warned.We're all assembled, and the call goes out. Deploy

Gratuitous rawr pics

I know its been weeks and weeks since we got our new kitty and bear forms and most bloggers commented or shared pics about that then. However, I like to do things when no one else is doing them (aka weeks late). With this in mind, I'll probably comment

My WoW History

Since we are coming up to the five year anniversary of WoW, I decided to recap my own history in the game.I entered the World of Warcraft about a month after its release. My first character was a dwarf paladin named Thorwald. I was attracted to the idea

Let the tanking begin!

Level 70 Druid! Now that I’m in Northrend, I’m actually able to start tanking instances! Yaaay!
Firstly, tried my hand at tanking Utgarde Keep. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great, either. I think tanking is the hardest of the three

The Ways of the Talon: Spells

After much studying and researching, I’ve decided to write up the cousin of my Ways of the Grove series but with a feathery twist! This series will be about Moonkin spells, stats, talents, and glyphs, along with an extra article about leveling and rotations.

Faction Champions advice

Commenter Slo makes a plaintive request for strategy on handling the Faction Champions encounter. I can make no claim to being an expert, but I can certainly comment on what I’ve seen and tried so far. Vicarious has beaten it twice in 25 and twice

Class specific buffs become craftable items

The developers mentioned at BlizzCon 2009 that they wanted groups to be a little less reliant on specific classes for the buffs which are considered to be "must haves." Good examples of these include Blessing of Kings, Gift of the Wild, and even Power

Unanswered Questions for Cataclysm Lore

There are four major lore things happening in the next expansion: [[Incoming Spoilers!]] Deathwing flies out of Grim Batol and breaks everything Malfurion Stormage returns to fight Ragnaros over Hyjal (nice one Deathwing) The Greymane wall breaks

Risk and Reward or Risk and Fail?

That is the question I am asking myself right now. Ever since my return to WoW from my break, I have been looking for a guild to join. I want to join a guild for multiple reasons, but mostly to raid and experience content.I did an experiment on my Mage

Tree for Two and Two for Tree

So I have to admit, I haven’t been playing my level 80 druid all that much lately. Not because I dislike playing her, since I do like playing her– but because I have a lot to do on my hunters right now. At the moment I primarily log into

Blizzard loves and/or hates Alts.

So there I am.  I finally got the Crusader title with my Alliance Druid.  And sitting on enough Seals for heirloom shoulders and chest armor.  6-7 more days and I’ll have enough for a 1-hand sword.  But for whom am I shopping?
The complication

Oh, Harro therr!

Ahh yeah! Whats going on blog lovers?Yesterday I wrote an article about mostly random crap, but I did mention about how it was going to be my first guild run with my new guild.So how did it go you ask?Well, it didn't go at all. I woke up with plenty of

How To: Protection

[This is the tenth in a twelve-part series of How To:'s, explaining each spec in each of the game's three PvE scenarios: Leveling/Questing, 5-mans, and then 10/25-man raids.]Choosing to become a Protection Paladin is really a decision to hoist everyone

Night Elves and Worgen: Druid allies of the Moon

For some, the Worgen seem unlikely members of the Alliance. These lupine creatures have a long history within Azeroth, even if no one is quite sure where or - to quote Chris Metzen, "when" - they come from. The choice to include the isolationist zone

Back to the Present...

Morning peopleI was planning on completing my post from yesterday...but I really don't feel like talking about the upcoming expansion. I mean...its probably 8-9 months away and I will have plenty of time to talk more about it.This post is more of and

How to Bear Tank the Lower Levels Part 1: Gear

Hello, and welcome to what will hopefully be a helpful little series of mini-guides to tanking on your Feral Druid at the lower levels of content.
The situation is one I should have addressed a long, long time ago.

BlizzCon 2009 - Druids & Cataclysm

Hmm...At BlizzCon 2009, they announced that two more classes will be able to be Druids in the next expansion pack, Cataclysm. The two newcomers will be Troll and Worgen.This is painful news, because I find the Worgen to be very cool. It's also confusing

FOR THE.....HORDE!!

My guild leader took the announcement of the new expansion to make a major announcement of his own.I know it's still early and the xpac will not be out for awhile but it's safe to assume that we will be switching to Horde for it. With this in mind I was
