Today I’m going to paint for you two pictures of different individuals. Both of them are in the same guild. Both are on the same raid team and are of the same member rank. Their raiding performances are comparable to one another. Player A: Soshal Crither Shows up a few minutes early before the raid. … [Read more of this article]
Two Different Experiences, One Guild
The Burden of Leadership, Lodur bares his th...
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]
Envisioning Your Guild House
Let’s assume for a moment Blizzard reversed their policy on guild housing. Guilds would have a place of their own to call home. Could be anywhere in Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms only. It could be in any zone you want, and the design is entirely up to you. The contents, the trophies and amenities are … [Read more of this article]
Transitioning to 25 Man: Your Tips?
Nikalia on Plus Heal posted a question: Do any of you have any tips/hints/tricks/advice on some things one might expect when transitioning into 25 man hard mode healing after being used to 10 man for so long? As I’ve primarily been a 25 man healer for the longest time, it’s difficult for me to do a … [Read more of this article]
Handling Raiding Couples
Couples that raid together in the same guild can be a nightmare to deal with. I’m glad to say I’ve only ever had to deal with a small handful of them. There were some great husband/wife combinations and some not-so-stellar ones. Interacting with them individually can be a chore at times because most couples share … [Read more of this article]

My interest is both personal and professional (Disclaimer: I’m with Enjin). Note: If you can’t see the poll because you’re on a reader, try this link In … [Read more of this article]
Heroic Morchok Down: Where Next?
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]
Mists of Pandaria Needs More Ulduar
I miss Ulduar. I have a suspicion that it ranks up there as the raider’s choice raid instance of all time. From the pacing, to the art, the difficulty and so forth, it has a fond place in the hearts of most Wrath raiders. But what exactly about Ulduar made it so enticing? How can … [Read more of this article]
When it Comes to Guild Apps, Pick Two
Historically speaking, most of the players I’ve picked up in the past had two out of the three attributes. Rare is the player who manages to possess all three. Recruiting seems to be at an all time low according to a few GMs I’ve spoken to (10 man and 25 man, Horde and Alliance). It’s … [Read more of this article]
Admit It: You Get High From Being Clutch
Ever wonder what it’s like to feel “high” in this game? This is one of those methods. I’d wager that Holy Priests get a bigger kick out of it then the other healers. Unlike the other clutch healing abilities, Guardian Spirit has two key effects: It offers both increased healing received on the target and … [Read more of this article]
