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 I’ve read tactics over on WoWHead but some of the write ups for the LFR strategies tend to feel out of date compared to what you may encounter in LFR at the moment.…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: 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…

World of Warcraft: What and When to Use Voidbinders (Item Upgrades)
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? And if so which ones?” This blog attempts to address some of those questions. One thing I noticed with regards to Mist of Pandaria in its current state is…

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…

World of Warcraft: 1.3 Million Subscribers Down
That’s a pretty large number and is comparable to the population of Burning Crusade, except that it’s getting lower. The two main things people seem to point to are game age and Asia. However, I know that saying the game’s age is a common issue, but I feel that it’s too high level and generic…

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: I Cancelled My Account Today
I managed to get into an Oondasta raid group, which ended up being roughly 2 1/2 raid groups in total. Initially, I was excited about getting in because it would be my first time doing this boss. Oondasta is notorious for the level of difficulty and is supposedly intended for heroically geared raiders and presents…

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…

Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm and World of Warcraft Pontifications of the Day
Last night I spent finishing up most of Heart of the Swarm. I’m either at the final or next to final campaign, having done all the sub-missions and only missing one objective thus far (at least from what I’m aware of). I ended up switching after getting frustrated from World of Warcraft’s inexplicable lagginess that…
