World of Warcraft: How I Am Preparing For Patch 5.2
More than likely Patch 5.2 will be released next week. Today, Blizzard released a new preview video of the upcoming patch and many articles in the past week have set the tone in getting our appetites wet for battle. Yet, the question is how one can prepare for the upcoming patch. Most of the patch…

World of Warcraft: Death Knight at 90 and Moving Shaman Up
I managed to hit level 90 earlier on my death knight. I figured that it was important to get a few more toons up to 90 before the next patch hits just to start preparing them. I quickly got some PVP gear, along with the 476 chest piece and the crafted 2 handed weapon. Also,…

World of Warcraft: Tank or DPS for Leveling?
Currently, I am homing in on level 90 with my death knight in World of Warcraft. That’ll mark my 4th level 90. It took me slightly longer to work on my death knight as I had prioritized my other 3 90’s much higher. However, getting slightly bored of dailies and with the patch approaching quickly,…

World of Warcraft: Improving the Valor Point System Numbers
With patch 5.2 around the corner, one major retraction Blizzard has incorporated is removing the upgrade system. The way Blizzard discussed this situation is that it’s more or less a temporary removal so there’s a chance we’ll be seeing them in the future.

World of Warcraft: Ganking, World PVP and Solutions
There has been a lot of heated debate on the forums regarding World PVP and ganking. Ganking boils down to camping, picking on lowbies and ganging up on people or in general griefing others. While Blizzard has a limited stance on defending ganking, the truth is that it won’t go away. However, sadly enough there…

Today, Blizzard announced that the current PVP season for World of Warcraft is ending on March 5, creating speculation that the new patch most likely will be in effect about the same period. If, indeed, the patch does get deployed during that week, we should think about how this unfolds, considering that the next expansion…

World of Warcraft: Adding Age Based Realms
There was an interesting question posted on Wow Insider today about possible age limits in the World of Warcraft. While there was no real definitive answer in the post itself, people who responded (mostly a mature audience and some with children) had strong feelings about how this should be handled if imposed. My feeling is…

World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria Patch 5.0 and 5.1 Retrospective
Okay, probably I won’t go much into depth about Patch 5.1 considering that the most I’ve dealt with in that patch is the new dailies. But I would like to review the current game since Patch 5.2 is coming out in a week or so. So far we’ve been introduced to a new continent with…

World of Warcraft: Blizzard Backs Down on the Valor Point Downgrade for Patch 5.2
Blizzard announced in a blue post how they’ve retracted their decision for the Valor Point downgrade for the upcoming patch. It was a good move on their part since, as I had mentioned in a previous post, it wasn’t a well thought out plan that differed too drastically from previous expansions. However, this move doesn’t…

World of Warcraft: VP -> JP Conversions for Patch 5.2
As expected, an announcement was made regarding the upcoming changes with regards to the downgrading of Valor Points to Justice Points. In conjunction with this, current Valor gear from Patches 5.0 and 5.1 are being reduced in cost by 50% and 25% respectively. Along with that, Blizzard has mentioned that new items will be made…
