Epic Gemming Fail

What works for Priests are not as effective on other classes.

Woopra: Not Your Mom’s Google Analytic...

Note: Not a WoW related post. You may mark as read. If you’re interested in learning how to stalk your readers, you may continue. One of the few pleasures a blogger can take is to simply stare at their stats as they go up (or down). Think of it as damage meters for bloggers. In … [Read more of this article]

Mind Control in BG’s Forcing Opposing ...

Want to have revenge on that one player who keeps dogging you in Arathi Basin? Fear not! There is a way! I believe it’s a bug but props to Aylii for bringing it to my attention.

Why I Always Care About The Meters

You’ll frequently hear raiders knowingly make comments about “the meters.” DPSers who have to crowd-control or dispel have a bit of a case; it’s harder to be #1 if you have more to worry about than standing still, popping pots, and hitting your spells in the right order.

Going All In on the Crystal Spire of Karabor

Poker is one of my favourite non-WoW activities and I know I’m not the only one. One of the cardinal skills you pick up as you play the cards is knowing when to go all in. My guild utilizes a DKP system (chips) and now that we’ve started to work on Illidan in order to … [Read more of this article]

4 Smart Studying Lessons to Help Get an A in...

For the few of us unlucky souls who are undergoing a summer semester in school, it serves to have a helpful reminder of what we students can do to get ahead and get an A. The flip-side is that some of these lessons work both ways and can be applied in WoW. Do your homework … [Read more of this article]

Be back later

Need some time off. Will return at some point, maybe.

Council Down, Crosshairs on Illidan

It was certainly quite the intense campaign. The first several wipes of the night were my fault. 3 wipes, and I suffered 8 deaths. Why? Because I’m way too slow and sluggish and I got suckered by the Rogue several times. No big deal before I repositioned myself on the far right on top of … [Read more of this article]
