World of Warcraft: My Favorite Classes/Specs
As an alt-a-holic, I am someone who generally has been agnostic in terms of favoring any single class at the very top. I can see the benefits of each and enjoy the play style of most of them. The only thing I really don’t play is a healer as I feel that it can be…

World of Warcraft: Easy Gold Making For Levels 80-85
Unless you quests heavily and/or do a fair amount of gathering as you level, you might find yourself lacking gold at lower levels. Once you hit 80, you probably want to get Artisan Flying and start thinking about Master Riding. But unless you have gold lying around from alts, you’ll probably be far off from…

World of Warcraft: Flexible Raid System Announced for Patch 5.4
Today, Blizzard announced yet another raiding format and difficulty, labeling it Flexible Raiding. The idea for Flexible Raiding is to allow for a variable number of people to join in between 10-25 and introduce a new difficulty tier that will sit in between LFR and Normal mode, where encounters will adjust in difficulty (probably meaning…

World of Warcraft: Is it Worth Gearing Up Alts?
I was watching Yoni stream the other day and noted how Cataclysm and Pandaria offered venders for quickly gearing. I assume when the next expansion comes out, the game will provide some quick catch up mechanisms for people who came in late and missed out on raiding. Like other expansions these catch up mechanisms more…

World of Warcraft: Warrior at Level 90 Next Eyeballing Mage
I managed to hit 90 on my warrior last night. Overall, I would say that the entire process probably took roughly 4-5 nights altogether. Ultimately, my path consisted of doing the Jade Forest in its entirety (85-87), half of Valley of the Four Winds (87-88), Kun-Lai Summit (88-89) and finishing off with probably around a…

World of Warcraft: Decided to Try Out Destruction Warlock, Gearing Protection Paladin and More Leveling on My Warrior
Mondays are always fun because of the resets. Right now, I’ve been finishing up gearing the last few pieces on my warlock as he gets a few more tier 14 pieces. I managed to get the 4 set bonus, sacrificing an expensive 496 piece I purchased on the auction house. Ironically, I also won my…

World of Warcraft: My Experience With the 30% Experience Reduction in Patch 5.3
I started working on my warrior again the other night, finishing up the Jade Forest and moving into Valley of the Four Winds. When I completed most of the Jade Forest, I managed to hit level 87. Mind you, my warrior also has mining that I work on simultaneously whenever I find nodes, which provides…

World of Warcraft: Why LFR and “Welfare Epics” Will Stay
There’s been an incredible amount of heated debate on the World of Warcraft forums where two factions have essentially created two stances around terms of LFR and the notion of “welfare epics.” The issue here is that one group (also known as “casuals”) are the ones that, of course, want these items while the other…

World of Warcraft: Pet Battles and Lesser Charms of Fortune
Recently, I decided to level up some pets using the pet battle system. One of the nice benefits I learned was that you can occasionally acquire Lesser Charms of Fortune. I think this is a great method that you can use, especially if you’re incredibly burnt out on doing dailies and want to avoid grinding…

World of Warcraft: The Dangers of Loot Specialization
While the loot specialization has it’s obvious perks, it also has its downside if you’re not careful. One of the things that can happen to you is forgetting to switch back to your original spec. This already happened to me a few times, even earning me gear that I wish could’ve gone towards my main…
