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…

World of Warcraft: Why LFR and “Welfare Epics” Will Stay
There’s been an incredible amount of heated debate on the World of Warcraft forums where two factions have essentially created two stances around terms of LFR and the notion of “welfare epics.” The issue here is that one group (also known as “casuals”) are the ones that, of course, want these items while the other…

World of Warcraft: Pet Battles and Lesser Charms of Fortune
Recently, I decided to level up some pets using the pet battle system. One of the nice benefits I learned was that you can occasionally acquire Lesser Charms of Fortune. I think this is a great method that you can use, especially if you’re incredibly burnt out on doing dailies and want to avoid grinding…

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: The Absolute Necessary Feature for LFR
Today, I experienced a rather disheartening DC where the servers just randomly shutdown while I was in an instance. At first, I thought it was my cable modem or router freaking out again, but it turned out that the problem was Blizzard’s server instability issue. The thing though was that I was at Dark Animous…

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: Multidotting Goodness
I’ve been playing my druid a lot more as balance and one of the skills you learn is the multidotting technique. What is multidotting and why is it beneficial for a class like the balance druid? Multidotting is a technique where you apply your dot abilities on a target and gain a chance to proc…

World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong
Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…
