Go read it on WoW Insider. In other news, Naxx cleared on 10s. Got Faith Helm. Got my 2 piece. Going to go smash my face on Malygos and collapse. Also about to get my second 80. Good thing I got all this done before my exams. I think I may rotate myself off of … [Read more of this article]
I Wrote About Healing Trinkets
Is Trade Chat a Good Avenue for Guild Prospe...
I don’t get a lot of email. But the ones I do get are often insightful questions. Heh, sometimes I have to respond to the reader and tell them that an email response wouldn’t do their email justice. The next best thing is to convert their question and topic into a blog post so I … [Read more of this article]
Gearing Your Fresh Level 80 Holy Priest: Mat...
Here it is, Priests. This is the list you’ve been waiting for. Remember, this isn’t the absolutely best gear you can get at level 80 for pre-raiding. This is the fastest way to get gear you can get at level 80. I’ll provide you with quest options and purchase options. Cheap enchants and select gems … [Read more of this article]
Healing Naxxramas – Gothik the Harvest...
When you enter the room, half the raid goes to one side, and the other half stays. One room is deemed “live†(the one you enter) and the other room is deemed “undead†(the room on the right after the gate). Mobs that die on the live side respawn on the undead side. Ergo, … [Read more of this article]
The Delicate Art of Delegation
Last night, I wrote a heartfelt post detailing my trials and hardships in the captaining of Conquest. While I believe the crew is just as (if not more) important than the captain, all executive decisions regarding which way the ship is going rests on his shoulders. I’ve been in guilds where there were co-GMs are … [Read more of this article]
A Healing Druid’s Naxx-25 Shopping Lis...
As many of you longtime readers are now aware, I have joined forces with Matticus and Conquest for Wrath of the Lich King. Matt is a hard taskmaster–even before we started raiding, he gave us homework! The nerve! However, as a veteran of too many years in graduate school, I LOVE homework. Here is my … [Read more of this article]
Post Raid Reflections, Anxiety, and Member &...
Bear with me. This post isn’t about anything empirical. It’s not a list post. It’s not an informative post. I’ll even be happy if it draws 0 comments. I’m a little overwhelmed at the moment and it’s an odd sensation. I’m usually in control of myself during raids. But before I continue, I think I … [Read more of this article]
Matt’s Monday Cop Out
Not really much of a mammoth sized post today. Today’s a big day for me personally. I’ve led a few raids myself but it was on an interim basis and with people that knew the strategies and their roles. This is going to be the first real raid I lead today. There’s a lot of … [Read more of this article]
Unreasonable Expectations?
Conquest took its first ever raid foray into Naxx. We didn’t have enough for a full 25 yet (that comes on Monday). I took 10 players and we went into Naxx for the first time. Many of them have not seen the post Wrath Naxx before and some were delightfully surprised at the familiarity that … [Read more of this article]
The Difference Between Recruiting On Server ...
Mages. They used to be a dime a dozen. Our second highest level Mage is Stop (clocking in at a health level 4!) There’s generally two places to recruit players from: On server: This is the typical route most guilds will go through. Off server: A little tougher and a little rarer. Players that transfer … [Read more of this article]
