Blizzard, fix this nonsense

Okay, seriously – can we stop with the random talent point refunds? I don’t even know what the criteria is anymore. During the first part of 3.1, it was pretty simple to figure out – the lowest (or close-to-lowest) talent taken that had multiple ranks bought from a trainer (i.e. rank 1 is from [...]

Unholy again: some thoughts

0/10/61 is one of the cookie-cutter builds floating around the internets for Death Knights in the brave new world that is 3.1. I’ve been trying this out, because so far I’ve been doing pretty successfully with builds that scale well with gear, and I have a few thoughts on it. Not so much any [...]

Suck it, Kel’thuzad

Finally knocked out my last achievement for heroic Arachnid Quarter.

Stupid Ice Bomb.

Aaaaaaagh SOMEONE GET THIS BUG OFF MY HEAD

I’m in your necropolis, stealin’ your throne. (And /cackle’ing on it.)

Dear Kel’thuzad:

Better luck next time!

Love, Fatalis

Archiving your combat log and screenshots (for Windows)

(3:37:17 PM) Nibuca: Lesson learned: make sure to delete your wow combat log more often than once every 4 months

For those of you who log, for use with WoW Web Stats or one of its ilk, you may not have noticed but there are a couple interesting facts about the WoW combat log:

It’s super-verbose, meaning [...]

3.1: The Frustration of Ulduar

Yeah, that sums up 3.1 pretty nicely, for me. I won’t lie, there’s good parts to it – I’m liking my death knight and warlock (yes, you read that right, warlock) better than ever, and love the new options available to most of my toons. The Argent Tournament is fantastic – I absolutely love [...]

Rise from your grave

Behold, my new Army of the Dead (click picture to embiggen):

Sadly, there were not enough cows to merit an achievement.

I’d like to give a hearty shout-out and a hello to Kel from Awakening in Progress, a fairly new blog. Kel’s got a holy priest and a death knight, and a pretty good storytelling [...]

TSF responds to your searches

I’m not sure if you know this, but like some sort of creepy Internet Matlock, I can actually see what search strings bring you to The Stoppable Force. A few interesting ones have cropped up, and so I thought I’d take this time to respond to some of them and hopefully answer a few questions [...]

Exhilarating!

Do not adjust your picture – this is not a test. That pic (click to see the full-size version) is yours truly, standing in front of the boss. Why? Because I told my guild I had respecced to a tanking spec and tanking gear, and wanted to tank something. “Oh, let’s run a heroic!” [...]

Pugchecker: because the numbers don’t lie (except for DTK)

Here’s a neat little tool: Pugchecker. All it does is take all the info on boss kills from your armory profile and display it in an easy to read numbered format, ordered by dungeon.

One caveat, apparently Drak’tharon Keep is very buggy about granting kill credits for Tharon’ja – if you’re dead or in skeleton form, [...]

[H] Death knight seeks things to kill, fun times to be had by all

Inspired by Maerdred, I figured I’d toss up a mock guild application here. I’m not really looking to leave my guild, per se, or maybe even Feathermoon (unless your offer’s pretty good…), but I am looking to find a new raid. I’ll include relevant info here on that, too, since it’s a bit of [...]
