  • World of Warcraft: The Absolute Necessary Feature for LFR

    Today, I experienced a rather disheartening DC where the servers just randomly shutdown while I was in an instance. At first, I thought it was my cable modem or router freaking out again, but it turned out that the problem was Blizzard’s server instability issue. The thing though was that I was at Dark Animous…

  • World of Warcraft: How to Gear Up Fast in Patch 5.3

    Gearing up in the current patch has never been easier. There’s so many ways to do the catch up whether it’s running Heroics, doing Scenarios, buying loot, etc. But the thing is that you can really push through and get close to meeting the minimal requirements for the Throne of Thunder raid with some short…

  • World of Warcraft: Multidotting Goodness

    I’ve been playing my druid a lot more as balance and one of the skills you learn is the multidotting technique. What is multidotting and why is it beneficial for a class like the balance druid? Multidotting is a technique where you apply your dot abilities on a target and gain a chance to proc…

  • World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong

    Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…

  • World of Warcraft: More Patch 5.4 Speculation with Potential Spoilers

    Someone on the forums mentioned that he managed to get into some pre-PTR testing of the 5.4 patch. It was a fairly interesting read as he told it from the alliance side of things to come. The main issue wasn’t the storyline specifically surrounding the alliance but the actual raid on Ogrimmar. Like anything, quite…

  • World of Warcraft: Pushing Forward on the Death Knight

    I went through the pre-Throne of Thunder LFRs on my Death Knight since I really wanted to finish up the legendary gem quest and get a few extra pieces of gear. It started off as a somewhat weird day since I went from the easier ones to the harder ones, mostly focusing on blood spec…

  • World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 2 Simple Tactics

    Right now, I’ve started to farm part 1 and part 2 as I find them relatively easy compared to the rest of the raid. So I’d like to offer you my experience as a casual player for part 2 as a DPS class. Tortos The first fight will be Tortos. This is essentially the Super…

  • World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 1 Simple Tactics for DPS

    Right now, I feel quite comfortable in discussing simple tactics in handling the LFR version for Throne of Thunder’s part 1 wing. I’ve read tactics over on WoWHead but some of the write ups for the LFR strategies tend to feel out of date compared to what you may encounter in LFR at the moment.…

  • World of Warcraft: Re-using Legendaries from Mist of Pandaria

    One of the most disappointing things at the moment is how the epic weapons and legendary gem that you spent months farming essentially turn out to be worthless the minute you acquire a better weapon from the Throne of Thunder. While it’s always exciting for new forms of loot to be found, I felt that…

  • World of Warcraft: Which Classes to Stay Away From as a New Player

    In my previous blog, I wrote up a summary of why I felt ranged classes made for a good starting point for new players. Here, I wanted to contrast that idea with classes that you may want to stay away from as a new player. Generally speaking, I advise new players to avoid healing. Healing…
