  • Bishamel: oh so pretty. Oh so deadly.

    CYOA: Another pretty face

    Posted on August 22, 2010 | 15 Comments
    Meet Bishamel. He’s a blood elf paladin. Hooray! Belfadin was the #1 vote (due in large part thanks to the campaigning efforts of Tart), and so I started with a different name and chopped off letters and rearranged them until I got this guy. Currently,...

    What is it with warriors?

    Posted on June 15, 2010 | 1 Comment
    Yeah, I’m going to pick on warriors. I’ve been running instances from the teens up through the high 20s on Rhododendron and Brynhild, and while occasionally you’ll get something like Softi’s hunter with a growling, aggressive pet, or someone DPSing in Ragefire Chasm in bearform...

    Defile is the opposite of love

    Phase 1: Got this down to a science by the end of the night. Transition Phase 1: Also went well. Watching people get flung off by Ice Spheres during one of our wipes cracked me up, though. Phase 2: Well, we’ve got the next few...

    Small pieces (of posts), loosely joined (into one post)

    Not posting doesn’t mean I don’t love you guys, it just means I don’t have a whole lot to say at the moment. Let’s summarize, shall we? Raiding Progress in ICC continues apace; we steadily progress every week in 10-man, making it to either Valithria,...

    Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    Posted on April 9, 2010 | 2 Comments
    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

    Posted on April 7, 2010 | 3 Comments
    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,...

    The Putricide tango; or, anecdotal advice on positioning the Professor

    Posted on April 5, 2010 | 3 Comments
    Professor Putricide is starting to be a fun fight for me. The first few times we were in there, even as late as last week, I felt kind of like I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. After looking at...

    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...

    We were all boneheads once

    A digression: This is not about anything new. This is just me being mildly nostalgic. Though my current account says December ’07, I actually started playing WoW in the fall of ’05. Specifically, sometime around Patch 1.8.0 or its successors – I know it was...
