I woke up this morning feeling like Dean McAmmond. I won’t discuss too much on 2.3 Priest changes. My colleagues have done a great job thusfar (Ego, Kirk, and the rest). Once I wrap up the week, I will take a look at some certain Shaman improvements. Apparently there are high level Guilds out there … [Read more of this article]
Loot Management Week: The Council of Looting
Blizzard wastes no time on Patch 2.3
Update: 9/27 (Thanks Kirk) All priests get Fear Ward! Drysc wrote: Fear Ward will be available to all priests at level 20, but there are some changes in addition. Current plans are to reduce duration to 3 minutes, and increase the cooldown to 3 minutes. To give the dwarves and draenei something else to even … [Read more of this article]
Loot Management Week: The Concept of DKP
First, there is an announcement that I would like to make. My WordPress stats monitor has just informed that today I received ~500 hits. Too bad my birthday’s tomorrow and not today, otherwise it would have even more special. That’s an important milestone for me since I want to make a few changes and implementations … [Read more of this article]
Loot Management Week: Karazhan
Sorry guys, I had a really busy weekend. I had to finish up a few projects and participate in my hockey draft. I think my picks look pretty solid. I’ve noticed an alarming trend lately in how some younger Guilds are imposing DKP for their Karazhan runs. Wait, what? Why? Why use DKP for loot … [Read more of this article]
Getting your Leadership skill to 375
I just finished off setting up my new hockey blog known as Lowongo’s crease (It’s a play on my last name for those that know me). The layout hasn’t been completely finalized yet, but I wanted to give me facebook viewers more to chew on instead of just WoW. Expect a lot of Canucks coverage … [Read more of this article]
My desk
Me and a raid leader were comparing desk spaces the other day. He’s got a three monitor set up while I only use two: one for gaming, one for everything else while gaming. I’m beginning to not enjoy these Maulgar-esque fights with multiple tanking targets. Tonight was Fathomlord day. We had the toughest time with … [Read more of this article]
My Interface
There has been a flurry of Raiding interface posts (courtesy of Kirk and Galadria). I’m going to show a screen shot of mine in a moment and label all the present addons in the screen. But first, I want to show you an addon that will blow your mind away as a healer and make … [Read more of this article]
Calling the Wipe
This is one of the toughest calls for any raid leader to make. But it’s one of the best ways to optimize your raiding time and not waste any more effort or consumables trying to prolong a fight that’s already lost. I know some of you may think “Never! No surrender!” but really, it is … [Read more of this article]
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, PvP S...
I started to level a Paladin. Yeah, that’s right, it’s my third healer (I have a 53 druid lying around somewhere too). Herein lies the problem. I’m out in the middle of hell(fire) happily wailing away on random boars so I can treat their toxic carcass (worst quest ever by the way) into something purified. … [Read more of this article]
Gearing Your Fresh 70 Resto Shaman: My Recom...
Due to the overwhelming popularity of my pre-raid Priest gear checklist, I’ve decided to compile one for my resto Shaman. Bear in mind, this list only contains the best possible healing gear you can obtain before Kara that is mail. If you wanted just the best possible healing set, refer to my Priest check list. … [Read more of this article]
