Burning Crusade all over again

Monday, December 15th, 2008 Posted in Class Discussion, General, Wrath of the Lich King | 1 Comment »

One of the biggest problems I had early on in The Burning Crusade was getting hold of a decent tanking weapon. The Sun Eater never dropped for me, despite countless runs into the Mechanar. King's Defender took almost as long ...

Easy to get, hard to keep.

Apparently a problem that was apparent in The Burning Crusade was that tanking gear was too easy to get hold of - people were able to hit the then-magic number of 490 defense without having nearly enough stats to run ...

Loken!

I've been having a lot of fun running heroics recently. Everything has seemed to be achievable, and even if we haven't downed a boss the first time, the subsequent times hve always been an improvement. Until yesterday, when I ran Halls ...

Gnomeregan Redux

Monday, November 17th, 2008 Posted in Wrath of the Lich King | 2 Comments »

So, level 72 now. What have I learned so far about the Lich King and his plan to destroy the world? Very little, I'm afraid. Instead I've been finding out about the origin of the Gnomish race, by following the questlines around ...

The First Rule of Lich King Club is…

... you don't talk about Lich King Club. The second rule of Lich King Club is, no whining. A day into Lich King, and it's very pretty. A lot of work has been put into the art, I'll grant that. Utgarde Keep ...

Shambolic Zombification

The Scourge Invasion carries on at a pace, and it's starting to really affect the world in more and more undesired ways. It was fun when it started, but things are starting to wear now - it's impossible for many ...

…Wait a minute, what?

Zombies! Ready the shotgun. I'm curious to find out how this event progresses. It's almost like they've deliberately re-introduced the Corrupted Blood plague. I logged in briefly this morning to see what it was about and witnessed Khadgar consumed by the ...

Patch day blues…

Well, we've got the changes that we've been waiting for. The 3.0.2 talents are nice, and though server stability was a bit hit and miss yesterday, it's better now. Last night's Black Temple raid was called off because lots of people ...

An End to A Myth

Say it with me: 3.0.2 will make protection soloing viable. There, you've just uttered something almost completely incorrect. It's based on a complete misassumption that so many people seem to hold, that Prot soloing is non-viable currently. I've no idea who ...

What kind of day will it be?

  So, now I'm on the PTR, how is my gear holding up? Well, to start with, let's take a look at how my current tanking gear holds up: [caption id="attachment_128" align="aligncenter" width="307" caption="2.4.3 "][/caption] This is my "trash" set - it's the ...
