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]
Heroic Morchok Down: Where Next?
Healing Heroic Magmaw
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]
Thespius’s State of the Dungeon/Raid
There’s been a lot of great conversation about how things are tuned in regards to Cataclysm Heroics and Raids (meaning normal Raids, I haven’t seen Hardmodes yet). This is starting to dip into the usual “Casual vs. Hardcore” debate, which I think is not what this entire argument is about. This game has made leaps and … [Read more of this article]
Boss Explanations: A Lesson from Twitter
No lie, I’m a twitter enthusiast. I didn’t realize how much of an influence its had on me until I started taking over boss explanations to PuGs in heroic groups. I know healing PuGs isn’t for everyone, but I don’t mind it (much). Now you see, I’m a pretty efficient guy. In fact, some would … [Read more of this article]
How to Smite Heal Your Way through Heroics a...
I’ve written about the Archangelism spec and style before, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t make it work at all on live. I thought it might’ve been a personal “learn to play” issue on my end and it turned out that’s what it was. Conversing with Priests who prefer the style … [Read more of this article]
It came from the PUG: Tanks but no tanks.
The life of a healer in Cataclysm is new, exciting, and often times terrifying. The new expansion does something quite well, it makes healing really really hard. Since hitting level 85, I quickly geared up for healing and DPS just in case a guild group had a DPS slot available. Guild groups have been an … [Read more of this article]
It Came From the P.U.G.!: Why I Hate Gundrak
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! I really really hate … [Read more of this article]

Heroic moments
Last couple days I’ve been talking with a few friends about the heroic or epic feel of the game. This was spurred by the recent Cataclysm class previews. My friend felt that the game was making players too over powered and he feels that what he wants is and I quote “To have the ever … [Read more of this article]
Case Study: Anub’arak 10 Heroic Featur...
This was a post I’ve been debating myself repeatedly on whether or not to trash because I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Comments from the recent survey asked for more case studies and as a result, I’ve decided to revisit and polish this up some more. Note: This post was written several weeks … [Read more of this article]
