No Kara Key? No Worries!

Several of my colleagues have already reported this. But players no longer need a key to get into Karazhan. What you do need is 1 player with a key to let everyone in. The concept is similar to that of Arcatraz. As Eyonix said: It’s not a matter of difficulty, really. We wanted to make … [Read more of this article]

Who is "That Guy" and How Do You D...

Photo courtesy of lemort from morguefile  Several weeks ago I received an interesting link to a forum post titled "So you’re off to BT/Hyjal (A Guide for bads)". It’s a HUMOROUS read for anyone who understands the raid encounters in that area. There’s an interesting bit during the part 2 segment for Black Temple especially … [Read more of this article]

7+2 Healing Haikus – Keep Your Tanks A...

I can’t exactly remember what inspired me about a Haiku. I was reading up a little bit about Zen.

Gloves of the Forgotten Vanquisher x 2 Don Rodrigo’s Poncho First T6 gloves go to Deidrich (Rogue) and the next pair went to Sassette (Mage).

Step by step: Dishing out Pain as a Priest

Last week I plugged dwarfpriest.com in my weekly digest. Yesterday, she published an excellent flowchart detailing actions for both shadow priests and holy priests concerned with dealing damage. Players who play with me know I’m utterly hopeless in dealing damage in any kind of environment PvP or PvE. I just might actually have a prayer … [Read more of this article]

At the moment, I’m compiling my post via Windows Live Writer! I should have made the switch sooner. But man, this program rocks! It handles like … [Read more of this article]
