Diablo 3: Nice MP5 Farming Route for Barbarians (Act 1)
I managed to upgrade my barbarian slightly recently, which is allowing me to handle Monster Power 5 Act 1 just fine. Stat-wise, he has (unbuffed) 38.8k health, 640 all resistances, 6.5k armor, 1.1k life on hit and is around 113k DPS. I use a Scoundrel as my companion for the increased critical hit chance. Unless…

World of Warcraft: Mage at 90 and Theories of Gold Spending
I hit level 90 on my mage a day ago and used my own guide to gear her up quick. I got pretty lucky in doing a Galleon group which drop some excellent starting boots, helping to take my ilvl to the minimum for entering Mogu’shan Vaults. After that, I farmed vaults using Elder Charms…

World of Warcraft: (Observed) Characteristics of Players
Originally, I was going to center this post around PVP players. However, the more I thought about the topic, the more I realized that there was no way to write about just PVP players without going into tangents on other players in the World of Warcraft. So I decided to revise the topic to players…

World of Warcraft: Continuing to Progress on My Paladin and Hanging Out with Yoni
I spent an overabundant amount of time playing my paladin the last two days, especially yesterday. He had been neglected for some time as I’ve spread my love of my toons all over the place. But my paladin sorta is my favorite and I really enjoy pushing him the most. So I finally had the…

World of Warcraft: Finally Finished Throne of Thunder (LFR)
I had been procrastinating on doing the last leg of Throne of Thunder for a while now. But it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. The Lei Shen fight was more annoying and a clusterfuck but I could see that it was definitely doable. Main thing is just making sure people were marked, communication…

World of Warcraft: Are Fishing and Cooking Worth Taking?
Up until Mist of Pandaria, the fishing and cooking professions were some of the most heinous professions to level. Fishing was simply boring as you took ages just grinding through zones until eventually you couldn’t push any farther. Cooking really only saw benefits for raiding but the rest of cooking practically was useless, unless you…

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…
