Tanking DK Tanking Racials

Hey guys. I quit WoW just after Firelands came out, and have decided to come back into it with a vengence now, and really hammer out a character that...

Glory of the Firelands Raider

Overview on the Glory of the Firelands Raider (http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=5828) meta achievement. The meta achievement requires that you...

average dps

So I know that DPS can vary due to many factors, but I read something on the forums today that made me scratch my head.I only raid with my guild and in my raid group my DPS is pretty competitive. We all seem to average between 20-24k depending on fight

Tanking No stamina gems at all?

I just finished gearing my Paladin to pre-raid level and just finished a warrior before that. For both of these, with minor differences, I followed...

US Horde Holy Pally Desperately Seeking Fabulous Guild

I started my paladin as a blood elf back in BC, but a few years ago, I had to change servers and factions, to get away from a very nasty ex boyfriend.  Lately I've been bitten by the horde bug and I very much missed my blood elf's little

Old What’s-His-Balls

I present to you… WHAT’S-HIS-BALLS and … BALLFACE At last, according to our raid leader (Alas) at one point during tonight’s raid. She’s waffling on the latter one, though, claiming later in the evening (possibly after

Death Knight Tier 13 and gear retrospective

Blizzard has released the Tier 13 set for Death Knights. Green flames, anyone? I'll take 'em. The Death Knight set has been in development for a bit longer than the other sets. Blizzard's original artwork didn't pan out the

LF Hordeside raiding guild

Hi ladies,Well, I went ahead and took the plunge and signed up for the 1 year commitment (because who am I kidding, I know I'll still be playing. :p) I have a max level Blood Elf warlock with whom I used to raid in my old guild, Haven of Sanity on

Breakfast Topic: What's your calling?

This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider's pages. Some people who play this game find themselves attracted to a specific calling. I find it interesting to see who's

Pet Battles

The snobbishness of game culture never ceases to amuse me. Video Gamer: "Pokemon is so childish!" Normal person: "Video games are childish!" I think Pet Battles are an interesting idea. I probably won't do

Why there is tanking shortage?

Countless posts analyze this question, including some from me. They are all wrong as they try to give some sort of social explanation like "responsibility" (or the non-reason "itz no fun lol"). It is wrong, especially in the dancy

Another LF Guild post :)

For the past few months, the boyfriend and I have been playing on different servers because we wanted different things out of the game. But lately, he and I have really started miss playing on our mains together. Currently he's on a pvp server

Zeherah’s Name to Appear on an In-Game Item

Zeherah’s name rests on a mail helm on the PTR, Zeherah’s Dragonskull Crown. There are two or three versions (depending upon where you look) of the raid-quality item in build 14890 on the PTR, and Frostheim has word that at least one

Episode 103!

This episode, both Euripides and Frostheim are down and out with Feral Druid Mange. In the spirit of the show must go on we brought in long-time listenter AFKRogue to co-host with Darkbrew. Yes folks, we have rogue who listens to our show! In addition

"We're not douchebags"

I read the transcript of the press conference on Blizzcon. In this, Jay Wilson from the Diablo III team stated: "We're not really concerned about making 1-60 some ridiculously long grind. We're not douchebags".What? Making players

Buying classic content

Yesterday Tesh said this, responding to my "what would get you excited?" post.I'm with Leah; drop the stupid subscription already and run with a GW business model. I'll pay for content, but paying for time pisses me off.That would

Monks

So monks. Leather-wearing tank-dps-healing hybrid characters, so they will pretty much share gear with druids. Every race except the newest ones, goblins and worgens, can be monks. The resource system described sounds pretty intriguing. In a

Mists of Pandaria: a new hope

The recent changes turn WoW upside down on several ways, but the largest is not the talent system (that's just handy), nor the pandarens and monks (we seen blood elves, goblins, death knights before), but the idea that the new territory raid bosses

#Blizzcon - Initial Thoughts

Yep, I'll jump on the bandwagon here and give my thoughts. Why not? I will offer one disclaimer: since I neither attended Blizzcon nor have access to the official sites at work (where I'm writing this), I'm depending on secondhand sources

What would have gotten you excited?

I'm cautiously pessimistic about Misty Pandarens and I have a strict policy of never talking about anything when it is relevant, so I am withholding judgement beside the first words of this post and what I said Friday. But let's imagine that

Permanent RBG page and RBG progress

We successfully made the turn from raiding focus to RBG. It wasn't easy as in the first times we simply did not have enough people online (now we RBG every day from 19:00 up to 21-22, from 16:00 on weekends) and had to pick up trade people. Most

The New Talent System: A Moonkin's View

I must admit that when I heard there was a new talent revamp I was extremely sceptical that it would be worth while or have a good impact on the game. In fact, when I was reading through the opening comments on WoW Insider and MMO Champion I jotted down

BlizzCon day 1

So, that is day one done. Onward to day 2.Big recap post here on MMOC.Diablo 3The video is interesting. The rest that was shown, is mostly old news. There should be some more stuff about D3 coming this Saturday however.Panda bearsWhere to begin...Basically,

My first take on the new talent system

Klepsacovic: I expect it will fail terribleterriblyah, irony It's a big change. But it's not a big enough change. WoW needs a lot to change for talents to ever be truly choices. These changes are beyond just tweaking talents, or even redoing

What’s your one great wish for Blizzcon?

If I could see one dream announcement come out of Blizzcon this weekend, it would be that they have some ideas for an alternative to the raiding endgame. (Maybe influenced by public raids, dynamic Rift-like events or LOTRO skirmishes.) And the second

Do we need hard modes at all?

After addressing the dance problem, we can also ask "do we need hard modes at all?" in a good high-end "hard working" raiding? I mean can we make one difficulty that is challenging to the very best but also accessible to casuals (not
