Coolest Looking Boss I’ve Ever Seen!

October 22, 2009

I just saw a screen shot of one of the Icecrown Citadel bosses, Festergut. He’s considered an abomination, and rightfully so. I’ve never seen a boss model that’s more repulsive than this handsome devil. Keep up the good work, Blizzard.

How to PVP Heal as a Priest, and Survive

October 21, 2009

I’m not great at PvP. I’ve played on an arena team with my brother, who plays a hunter, and we didn’t do great. But I’ve definitely improved and wanted to share a few things that I learned along the way. For the sake of me not sounding like a total moron due to lack of [...]

Successful Heroic Culling of Stratholme Timed Run

July 18, 2009

Last night a friend and I decided to do H-CoS just for the hell of it. His name is Zikthar and he’s a great paladin tank. I’ve grouped with him many times before, including when he’s invited me into his guild Naxx runs.
It’s unbelievable the difference a great tank can make over a sub-par one. [...]

In the Midst of an Annoying Heroic UK Run

July 11, 2009

OK, I’m about 5 Guinesses deep, so forgive my brazenness, but this H-UK run makes me wish I had gone to bed when I had the opportunity. Since I’m in no shape to attempt to construct sentences, I’ll put it in list order:

I PUGed the group, because I need badges for the heirloom healing mace. [...]

Started a Shaman for Alt Goodness

July 2, 2009

This week I started an alt with a new friend of mine, Divina, since we’re both nostalgic for old world dungeons. She created a female dwarf warrior, and I originally created a rogue. After some thinking, I felt the urge to switch to an elemental shaman instead so that we ‘d have that pesky ‘tank [...]

Longest Culling of Stratholme Run Ever

July 1, 2009

A few nights ago I was toying around in Ironforge, trying to get my new sidegrade weapons enchanted when I received an unexpected whisper from a complete stranger: “Hey, wanna heal cos reg? We’re ready to go.” Normally I’d decline, since I gave no indication that I wanted to heal anything (I wasn’t in LFG [...]

Question: Have I Finally Upgraded My Titansteel Guardian?

June 28, 2009

For the past three or four months I have been using Titansteel Guardian as my weapon for both holy and disc specs. There are positives and negatives to this item. The positive is the generous amount of spellpower, and a fair amount of critical strike. The downside is that there are no mana regen stats [...]

The Midsummer Fire Festival and Me Not Caring

June 25, 2009

I really, really wish that I could get more into these achievements, and in turn, the seasonal events. But the truth is, as it stands, I couldn’t care less. It surprises me because I enjoy the lore and the fantasy aspect of the game. I just haven’t found an incentive to knock out the seasonal [...]

I Hate Healing Meters

June 19, 2009

I’ll lead this post off by saying: I acknowledge the fact that I have not pressed ‘end-game content’, as the forum nerds refer to it. With that said, healing meters are a dumb way to measure the value of healers.

Raid healing and tank healing are completely seperate types of healing. The tank is constantly taking [...]
