You May Have Honor and Not Realize It

March 9, 2010

Apparently I’m slow.
When LFD first launched, I went PvE crazy and took a break from PvP. In fact, after gaining the Looking for Multitudes achievement, I took a break from my priest altogether to get my horde paladin up to 80 and gear her a bit.
Along the way I learned that there’s finally something valuable [...]

Healing Heroic Halls of Lightning

December 30, 2009

I logged on yesterday out of obligation and commitment to earning 50 Emblems of Frost, which will allow me to replace my worn-out Wispcloak. Blizzard has me by the marbles in that respect. “If I don’t make it a point to do the random heroic at least once per day, then I miss out on [...]

“I Don’t Buff”

December 28, 2009

I was in a random PUG yesterday, doing Heroic Violet Hold. Right before the first portal opened, the warlock requested Kings from the paladin tank. No one in the group had paladin buffs. The tank ignored his request and the party pressed on. At around the third portal, the warlock commented “Paladin fail,” or some [...]

Meet Zejus “The Patient” and His Pug Companion

December 24, 2009

This week I achieved both “Looking for Many”, which gives the title “The Patient,” and “Looking for Multitudes,” which gives players the pug dog non-combat pet. Looking for Many is achieved by grouping with 50 different players using the new Dungeon Finder tool and Looking for Multitudes is achieved by grouping with 100 different players.

Heroic Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection in the Bag, Plus Some Gear Upgrades

December 21, 2009

It was a very productive weekend for me in Azeroth, thanks to a blizzard which forced my family and I to stay burrowed in the house.
Pit of Saron
On Saturday, heroic Pit of Saron was chosen as one of my random heroics. At first I considered explaining to the party that my gear isn’t sufficient for [...]

Heroic Pit of ‘Get Me the Hell Out of Here’

December 16, 2009

My lucky streak ended. After going 9-for-9, the Dungeon Finder finally dealt me a bad hand, or three.
The first queue landed me in H-Halls of Stone. Not bad, I thought. The group was solid. The tank had around 34,000 health, which is the lowest of all the tanks I’ve grouped with in the previous 9 [...]

A Dungeon Finder Update

December 15, 2009

As an extension of yesterday’s post, I wanted to share my experience from last night with using the Random Dungeon feature of the Dungeon Finder tool.
I conquered four dungeons in under two hours, accumulating 23 Emblems of Triumph and 2 Emblems of Frost. Every run was successful, and I didn’t die the entire evening. Although [...]

Patch 3.3 and My Experience With the Dungeon Finder Tool

December 14, 2009

In patch 3.3, Blizzard implemented an upgrade to the Looking for Group tool. It’s called Dungeon Finder and it allows you specify which dungeon you’re interested in, which role in the group you’d like to play, and matches you with others in the same battlegroup. Not only that, but players will receive bonuses in the [...]

Missing My Priest

November 18, 2009

I have a level 80 priest, druid, and warrior, as well as a level 42 paladin and 38 shaman. The priest is my main, and although I go through phases and have considered promoting one of the alts to “main character” status, I always find myself going back to my priest.
But why?
The druid class it [...]

Heroic AN is still a headache without poison cleanse

October 23, 2009

About six months ago I posed the question to the WoW forums asking whether or not Blizzard will ever add more gear to be purchased with Emblems of Heroism. I don’t raid because of time constraints, but was logging on nightly to do a heroic or two with a steady group of friends. After having [...]
