    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...

    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...

    (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...

    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....

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
