Hope for the PvP Healer

If you’re like me (and frankly, you might not be, but I hope you’ll keep reading), you enjoy a good amount of some world PvP.  Beyond Wintergrasp and the Storm Peaks dailies phase, I’m talking about moments like these: “Oh sh**! STUPID [insert class]“ “What happened? You get ganked?” “Yeah, I’m just farmin’ [insert mat]…” … [Read more of this article]

Be a World of Warcraft God in 5 Steps

You’ve got the game. You’ve done the raids. You’ve finished the PVPing. For some reason, and you can’t quite place it, there’s still a hole within you. It feels as if though there is something missing. You were a hardcore gamer before. In Counter-Strike you’d consistently dominate with the AWP in your hand. In Warcraft … [Read more of this article]

AddOn: Dispel Announcer for Raiding and PvP

I finally found me a mod that I think will benefit all Priests regardless of their purpose or style of healing. Actually, it doesn’t have anything to do with healing at all.
