World of Warcraft: Patch 5.3 Voidbinders/Item Upgrades Make A Comeback and Cutting Edge Gaming
Outside of the new game, Blizzard announced that the Voidbinders/Item Upgrade venders will make a comeback in patch 5.3. The chief difference will be the massive reduction in cost for both valor points and justice points upgrades. Valor upgrades will cost 250 per 4 item levels for a total of an 8 item level upgrade…

World of Warcraft: How I Plan to Gear My Druid from Boomkin to Feral and Other Gearing Thoughts
My druid is pretty decently geared as a boomkin. Having just won one of the Sha Touched weapons and some tier gloves, she’s pretty much ready to go for the new LFR. However, there are times when I just simply prefer to play her as feral. However, I haven’t spent as much time on that…

World of Warcraft: Last Stand of the Zandalari LFR Experience
Just got done with the latest LFR wing for the new Throne of Thunder raid. Immediately, after entering people started dying. I couldn’t tell if I entered in the middle, end or what. Fortunately, I started from the beginning because I would’ve gotten really pissed in having to wait another 40+ minutes. For my first…

World of Warcraft: 40+ Minute LFR Queues
I mentioned how I’ve switched from World of Warcraft to Starcraft 2. Between the two, I briefly went to Diablo 3 and cleared half of Act 3, becoming bored and almost falling asleep in the process. Part of the reason I stopped was that a friend of mine (actually the only remaining true friend I…

Dave Kosak announced on Twitter that there are no new planned Heroic 5 man instances currently planned for Mist of Pandaria. I discovered this after seeing a Mike Preach video where he discusses the issue and shares his views on the subject. From my point of view, this is going to end up being a…

World of Warcraft: Why I Do Not Care for (Progression) Raiding
I had joined a 25 man ICC Heroic this past weekend and was on my friend’s Mumble server. One guy in the group deplored the whole LFR mechanism, calling it for “noobs” and “scrubs.” That guy rubbed me the wrong way (outside of having a terrible hick accent) in possessing this oversized ego but it…

World of Warcraft: My Current Progress and Experiences in Patch 5.2
We’re now about to get into the 4th day of Patch 5.2 for Mist of Pandaria. Much of what I’ve been doing (outside of helping a friend level up a bit) is focusing on gearing my guys up further and doing dailies on my newer 90 level toons. I’m attempting to avoid Heroics and seeing…

World of Warcraft: What to REALLY Do in Patch 5.2
There are a ton of cutting edge guides talking about all the new things for Patch 5.2. With all the information available, it can be overwhelming. But what these guides do not reveal is what you, the casual PVE player, should or can be doing in Patch 5.2. First, the raid schedule shows that like…

World of Warcraft: The Legendary Waste (of a Gem), Problems with LFR Drops and Ideas for Improvement
With Patch 5.2 on the horizons, I ended up upgrading my Paladin’s two handed sword Starshatter using my Valor Points. I had been hesitating up until this point because I had hoped that I would have acquired the Sha Touched axe in LFR. Having run Sha of Fear around 13 times on my Paladin, I…

World of Warcraft: What to Do At Level 90 for PVE

What should you do? This post is geared towards newer players or even players interested in figuring out some…
