There are a lot of folks out there that think being in charge, or in a leadership role, of a guild is a big fun thing. You get to set permissions, invite, kick and all that other cool stuff! Truth is, at least for me, it’s another job. Being in charge means that, like at … [Read more of this article]
Managed to score Heroic Morchok on Tuesday. Ended up using 6 healers. Another classic 22% wipe, then a 16% wipe, then a 13% followed by an 8% then a kill. Actually, the numbers aren’t precise. But that’s what it seemed like anyway. How to Land 3 Healing Spells in Under 2 Seconds It seems impossible, … [Read more of this article]
Additional details about the Monk was released a few days ago on. Ghostcrawler fielded the answers to several of the questions that I’m sure were on most people’s minds. The Monk healing spec (Mistweaver, a catchy name) is designed to rely heavily on punches and kicks. You get to DPS while you heal (or… heal … [Read more of this article]
This mutt has been available on the PTR for some time. He had way too much health on 10 man during my initial times with him. He’s much more manageable now. You’ll find that this fight is a slight DPS check and skill check. When you first engage the encounter, the tanks will need to … [Read more of this article]
In a word, probably not. More and more players are finding themselves on Twitter and Facebook. Guild members are adding each other as friends to all these other social networks and their thoughts are then broadcast which expose themselves to even more players. There is always an inherent risk though. Much like the way companies … [Read more of this article]
It’s been 2 and a half years since Conquest has been formed. We’ve had our shares of victories and defeat. I figured a situation like this would come one day. I never imagined it would come from a main tank. Least of all from a main tank. I knew he wasn’t having much enjoyment out … [Read more of this article]
With all the changes to healing between the expansion’s release and subsequent patches, restoration shaman have kind of gone in a bit of a circle almost. We started out the expansion with the inclusion of a few new spells that really set the tone. Healing Rain was an absolute power-house addition to our healing, and … [Read more of this article]
Note: That’s actually Lodur’s kill screenshot. How he heals with raid frames that small, I have no idea =). Healing from World of Logs Conquest is officially 2/13 in the hard mode 25 progression. It was nice getting the kill and getting the monkey off our backs. It had been weeks since our last progression … [Read more of this article]
Unless you missed it, Blizzard has announced an idea that they wish to implement in an attempt to shorten queue times and address the tank and healer shortage that has been plaguing the LFD for a while now. Here’s the actual blue post for you, Source In patch 4.1 we’ll be introducing Dungeon Finder: Call … [Read more of this article]
Image courtesy of leonardobc This week the crew has been hitting our heads against a progression boss, and the talk around the campfire has a decided air of frustration to it. As a leader, you need to be aware of your team’s motivation levels when tackling new challenges. Encounters surpassing your raid team’s ability level … [Read more of this article]

He’s a nasty bugger like that, undoing your proofreading!
Auzaras last blog post..11th Unforgetable Moment
Always taking the credit and blaming the male. IMO that post was fairly generic, but at the same time, he has to appeal to a larger audience so it has become more difficult.
Like it or not, that’s always been how I write. I can’t help it if my posts can be applied on a more widescale spectrum. They’re meant for leveling Priests but that doesn’t mean they can’t be utilized by other classes as well. It’s difficult to find something to discuss about a Priest that has not already been covered in some shape or form by someone else. I’m not just trying to reinvent the wheel here. I’m trying to make it run harder, polish it more, and make it perform better. The WI Gods have seen fit to give me free reign in whatever I write. I’m going to push that limit as far as I can and until they tell me otherwise, it’s what I intend to do.
The stuff on my blog and WI has to be mutually exclusive. What is on one cannot be on the other. Those are my express limitations. If I had signed with WI half a year earlier, I could probably put out more Priest content. But since most of the Priest stuff is already done here or there, I can’t. Coming up with post ideas for my blog is far more easier because I’m the one in charge. Writing for WI involves word minimums, duplicate content checks, a higher standard, and much more work that I don’t want to discuss right now.
So as a class columnist, I’m going to continue writing stuff that will always be relevant for Priests in some fashion. If a Druid comes along and goes “oh look, I can apply these principles to Druidism stuff too!” then all the better! My goal is to simply catch Salmon. But if my net happens to haul Tuna and Halibut, I won’t complain. This way, people will get their moneys worth.
It’s one of the downsides about writing for such an established blog. The expectations placed upon you are unbelievable by the public. Ice, you’re not the only one. I’ve seen other people comment saying “Hey this stuff isn’t just Priest only, it can be used by others! I feel cheated!”. And that kind of mentality gets draining after a while. I’m being slammed for my ability to be non-exclusive and it’s not fair.
Just dropping by to say that I found your post very useful (well… if my priest can get past level 26!)… and to thank you so very much for the link at the bottom! It certainly pushed my views up for the day!

Here comes a thank you from LarÃÂsa as well!
I was chocked to see the views… your link resulted in 324 views! It’s ten times the amount of visitors I have a normal day. It really felt weired – especially since it didn’t result in one single comment…
I reckon the readers of Wowinsider aren’t quite as talkative as the handful of faithful visitors who normally comes and see me. A huge but silent crowd – you have no idea what they’re actually thinking reading your post. A bit creepy actually.
I can imagine it’s quite different to write for Wowinsider than to merrily poke around in your own little tranquil corner of the world.
I’m glad you’ve taken up the challange. You’re a much better writer than many of the other guys there – and you’ve really got something to share, which you can’t say of all of them. Some just seem to throw out questions, rather than offering ideas…
