    Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    I feel this dog pretty accurately sums up my reaction to the preview. The shaman preview made me have to change my pants with joy; the warlock preview kinda sucked until I realized it was mostly outright or stealth buffs to my all-time favorite tree,...

  • Witty blood pun here

    Witty blood pun here

    So Tart was nice enough to shoot me a copy of the blue post featuring Ghostcrawler’s so called "Blood bomb" regarding DKs getting a legitimate tanking-only tree in Cataclysm. I wasn’t totally surprised – I’d already been hearing rumors to that effect for a while,...

    Bits and pieces

    Apologies for the sudden unexpected silence. I’ve had bits and pieces of posts bouncing around in my head; none of them fully fleshed themselves out, so here they are glued together into some semblance of a post. Patch 3.3.3 for DK tanks And yes, no...

  • Rotface

    Rotface

    Just do your best to pretend that’s actually a picture of Rotface being downed by my guild on our last attempt of the night and not a picture of Rotface rotated 90 degrees, would you kindly? We forgot to take a screenshot, and besides, my...

    The World (of Warcraft) Is Just Awesome

    So that’s been making the rounds, so there you go. I love it, especially Illidan’s little cameo, and – oh God – is Archimonde humping the World Tree? What has been seen cannot be unseen. After finishing up my Fool for Love requirements, I finally...

    A regular Loot Hoover

    After chatting with Miss Hydra for three or four hours about my financial woes (my own economic stimulus bootstrapping plan is now underway), it was time to go home and – yes – raid. Wait, what? Well, yes, a few of you may have noticed...

    Kahorie’s DK Simulator

    I was chatting with some people on Vent the other night when it came up with one guy was having a problem: both SimulationCraft and Rawr (fine tools in their own right, don’t get me wrong!) seemed to be low-balling his death knight’s DPS –...

  • Physical or magical? DKs vs. magic-immune foes

    Physical or magical? DKs vs. magic-immune foes

    I’ve seen this come up a lot lately, usually in response to trying to figure out what to do with death knights during the Lady Deathwhisper fight, and so I thought maybe it’d be helpful (following up on my resolution to be more useful) to...

  • Shaking off the dust; WoW resolutions

    Shaking off the dust; WoW resolutions

    Unrelated note: how many times did I type "reoslutions" instead of resolutions? If you guessed 3, you’re a winner. So the holiday lull is over and the new year begins. My real life resolutions for 2010 aren’t anything impressive, and I’ve been cheating on WoW...

  • It’s not a meme, it’s a survey

    It’s not a meme, it’s a survey

    At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Hinenuitepo at Death Goddess has a DPS version of that healer and tank set of surveys that’s been going around, and I’m a sheep who needs blog fodder. Baaaaa.
