I had a revelation last week. It’s one I’m not afraid to share because I suspect there are a lot of players in the same position as me. That position is peering out from round a corner with a bemused grin and crimson cheeks, watching the macro users of our raid do ten things at … [Read more of this article]

In all seriousness, the folks over at Raid Warning (xSeven and Epiphanize) have assembled this special podcast (scheduled to be released March 1st) – a roundtable of some of the community’s most prominent priests.

Heroic Entitlement?
The place: Utgarde Keep. The time: I don’t know, there are no windows in the beginning. The people: Me, the Resto Shaman. A Mage, a Death Knight, a Ret Paladin, and a Prot Warrior. Five players with an intertwined fate. The goal: Frost Emblems. The affliction: a tank’s self-appointed sense of entitlement. Follow me now … [Read more of this article]
It Came From The P.U.G.!: It’s all new...
For those who might not know yet, my gluttony for abuse knows no bounds. As a result I find myself in a rather large number of P.U.G. groups. At the end of the day I bring you, my readers, the stories of my travels in the random grouping of Azerothian adventure in It Came From … [Read more of this article]
How to Master Priest Tier 10, Ruby Sanctum T...
Granted, if you’re just aiming for the bonuses, the Priest healing set just doesn’t look as hot. That being said though, I picked up the four set a week and some change ago with the determination to try to master it. In terms of stats, the tier 10 is better than the tier 9 (Intellect, … [Read more of this article]
Casual 101: Knowing Is Half The Battle
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the “Hardcore Casual” mentality. In my 3 years of playing World of Warcraft, I’ve cut my teeth against some of the best in the game (well, my server or battlegroup). I’ve seen some of the strongest players, and I’ve seen some of the weakest players. The first … [Read more of this article]
Will you Lend Me Your Brain?
Halloa folks! Just a brief post from me today. Today, I’m appealing for your braaaaaaaaaaaains. No no, I’m not trying to get you to come after me with pitchforks blazing and braziers sharpened (or something). Instead I’d like you pitch in your thoughts to a brainstorming session I’m running at the moment. I’m looking … [Read more of this article]

Another year has come and gone and still you can feel that Love is in the air! It is around this time I receive a plethora of mail asking for my Shamanic advice and so I present to you this year’s Dear Lodur!

So, What’s Up?
It has been a long time since my last decent sized post. I’ve never been a fan of blog posts where bloggers try to justify their absences. The pattern I see that ends up happening is that a blogger disappears for a time, comes back and apologizes, goes hard for a few posts, then disappears … [Read more of this article]
What To Do When You Meet Lady D.
So you’ve just met a charismatic, high-powered woman. You know the type. Legions of admirers. A woman capable of raising her followers up and empowering them on to great strengths. The sort of woman who reduces her enemies to insignificance with one touch. And then leaves them for dead on the floor. Oh, yes. You’ve … [Read more of this article]
