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…

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: More Progress in Patch 5.3 for Me
The past week or so I’ve been really hitting LFR and certain daily hubs hard to boost my toons as much as possible. I started to farm Throne of Thunder parts 1 and 2 now that I’ve become quite comfortable with the fights. Part 3 I’ve only done twice and still find it a little…

With the cost of valor points coming down in patch 5.3 for upgrading items using Voidbinders, you might ask yourself, “Should I start upgrading my items?

World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 Experiences Thus Far
Okay, I got bored after finishing my Prometheus 2 script so I’m back to playing World of Warcraft slightly ahead of schedule. Patch 5.3 has a bunch of goodies mostly along the lines of loot and nerfed XP so I didn’t really want to miss out too much. So far as a casual player, I’ve…

Diablo 3: Sharing Gear Between Classes
I like the idea of gearing my guys and having them each operate independently as they can. It’s a nice challenge to work on each character and play them as if they were isolated from the rest of your guys for the most part. However, sometimes it’s just not practical because of the cost or…

Diablo 3: Near 180k DPS Witch Doctor Acid Cloud Destroying Inferno MP2
I made a 10 million gold purchase to replace my old helmet on my witch doctor, which boosted his DPS to near 180k unbuffed (slightly less according to diabloprogress.com), hitting around 220k buffed. The results? Monster Power 2 Inferno is like a knife to melted butter. I probably can take down rares and champion packs…

Diablo 3: Re-Leveling A New Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor Fun
My friend recently joined on Diablo 3 so I decided to give the Demon Hunter another try (meaning re-level a new demon hunter….hey there’s an achievement for that!). This time around with my gold resources and various hand-me-down pieces of gear, it’s a breeze. One unusual thing I decided to try was using a Spectrum…

Diablo 3: How to Make Gold for Starting Players
If you’re starting out playing Diablo 3, you might find yourself a bit frustrated at times because of the way the drop system works. Essentially, you will quickly depend upon the Auction House to handle all your upgrades. However, the Auction House tends to be horribly overpriced at all times. So what can you do…

World of Warcraft: First Patch 5.3 Official Notes Released (PTR)
Patch 5.3 looks to be more of a major game issues fix with some content oriented elements thrown in. I already addressed the earlier noted valor/justice point upgrade system returning. From a gearing point of view, the two biggest things that impact myself are: Addressing bad luck streaks for re-rolls. This is HUGE for me.…
