Where have all the tank spots gone?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 Posted in Bosses, Burning Crusade, Dungeons, Wrath of the Lich King | 4 Comments »

A warrior, a paladin, a druid and a death knight walked into Icecrown Citadel. "Hey," said Tirion Fordring as they entered the antechamber. "Is this some kind of joke?" I've recently had occasion to go through my old screen grabs, and one ...

What content glut?

Friday, September 25th, 2009 Posted in Bosses, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King | 3 Comments »

A lot of people have complained that Lich King doesn't contain as much raid content as Burning Crusade. Personally, I think the problem is elsewhere. The first thing to do is dispel the myths surrounding the number of bosses available: Burning ...

This isn't the much-awaited second post on how to tank. I've had a lot on my plate recently out of game, so blogging has had to take a bit of a pushback until everything else. In any case, Kadomi appears to ...

In General, tanking Vezax is a pain

Sunday, May 31st, 2009 Posted in Bosses, Wrath of the Lich King | 1 Comment »

Our first attempts at General Vezax were less than stellar. It's all too easy to stay in the saronite clouds too long and commit suicide, or misjudge an interrupt or your distance when kiting him. However, our strategy was eventually formed, ...

Who trashed Ulduar?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 Posted in Dungeons, Wrath of the Lich King | 4 Comments »

Another week, another few bosses down. Farewell to Ignis the Furnace Master, Kologarn and Auriaya (though on 10-man only). But wait. What's going on with the trash? The first time we took a look at the trash in the Antechambe of ...

It doesn't seem like a week has passed since our first foray into Ulduar, but it very nearly has. So far, I've seen five bosses and beaten four of them. Ignis was the only one that defeated us, though to ...

Cutting down the largest tree in the forest with a herring

Monday, April 13th, 2009 Posted in Wrath of the Lich King | 2 Comments »

The more astute readers of this site will have realised that a second armory profile has appeared in the sidebar. Druziraa was the very first character I created to tank, long before Namthe was even considered, let alone created, and ...

Is this what the End of the World looks like?

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 Posted in General, Wrath of the Lich King | 1 Comment »

It's quiet. Too quiet. I've been far too busy to play much outside of raids recently, but what I have seen saddens me. We're done with PvE content. There's nothing left to do, and boredom is creeping in, so while I'd ...

You have entered the Twilight Zone

Thursday, March 12th, 2009 Posted in Bosses, Wrath of the Lich King | 5 Comments »

Three Drakes. No waiting.   Well-deserved by so many people who have stuck at this for the last few weeks, Sartharion is defeated on "ultra-hard" mode. Roll on Ulduar...

Divining the Future

Monday, March 2nd, 2009 Posted in Bosses, Theorycrafting, Wrath of the Lich King | 2 Comments »

There's a few things of note in the upcoming patch notes which we can use to divine what the as-yet unseen bosses in Ulduar will be like. For a start, Last Stand is having its cooldown reduced to 3 minutes.  When ...
