After about two and a half hours of wiping, we managed to secure the Ruby Sanctum (25). I have to say, the amount of coordination and movement made that fight fun for me to heal. Unfortunately, the logs for that encounter don’t appear to be fully functional yet. But all the mechanics, the moving, and … [Read more of this article]
Halion Down and the Failure Rate
Lodur on “Totem Recall”
In case you haven’t heard yet, there is a Shaman Round Table on the horizon. On July 13th the folks over at Raid Warning will be hosting the latest in their series of round table discussions.

Making Dungeons Fun Again
Want to know a secret? There’s a simple way to make WoW more fun. Last night I had more fun in a random dungeon than I have for a long time. I was in Stockades, of all places. A Stockades run is usually a pedestrian half hour filled with enemies which aren’t challenging but have … [Read more of this article]
Real I.D., Lodur’s thoughts
Since it was first announced there has been a wave of people very outspoken about this feature from both sides. People have been arguing the pros and cons of it and some of them are less than rational arguments. So I figured I’d share my own thoughts on it. First though, here are some facts … [Read more of this article]
Real ID Ain’t For Me
At least, not yet anyway. I just like being able to unplug and do my own thing on WoW without being disturbed. Besides, I’m always idling my guild’s vent server anyway (idling is a term from IRC which means just hanging out). You know how often I get followed around by naked Night Elf Priests … [Read more of this article]

Dawn Moore, the host and producer (Spiritual Guidance on WoW.com, discipline) will be regularly joined by Kinaesthesia (vodka’s ace priest, holy) and myself (some … [Read more of this article]
Yes we did
Yes, we killed the Lich King on 25. Yes, it took forever. Yes, my blogging colleagues here beat me to the punch. Yes, it makes me sadface, but my pride is at stake and I’ll steal back the blog-first bragging rights when Cataclysm arrives. I refuse to be the last player on the team to … [Read more of this article]
Why Role Balancing Isn’t Your Average ...
Tobold’s post today is a refreshing look at how the holy trinity of tanks, healers and DPSers might be re-balanced. His basic concept is that it should be made more rewarding – more useful – to players to play a tank or a healer, for their own interest. Rather than developers assuming that the laws … [Read more of this article]
Cataclysm Loses its 2 Biggest Selling Points
There’s been a press release announced just minutes ago and if you want to skip the news, then you’ll want to skip out on this. Personally, I think the loss of Path of the Titans and Guild talent trees were done mostly to shave off development time. Either that, or it just wasn’t working out … [Read more of this article]
Kingslayers? That’s Unpossible!
I was originally going to regal you with the wild tales of my misadventures through the LFD tool, but instead I am consumed by a need to share my overwhelming pride. Tuesday June 8th at near 10:20pm est, Unpossible downed The Lich King in 25 player mode. Normally I wouldn’t bother posting something like this … [Read more of this article]
