  • World of Warcraft: More Patch 5.4 Speculation with Potential Spoilers

    Someone on the forums mentioned that he managed to get into some pre-PTR testing of the 5.4 patch. It was a fairly interesting read as he told it from the alliance side of things to come. The main issue wasn’t the storyline specifically surrounding the alliance but the actual raid on Ogrimmar. Like anything, quite…

  • World of Warcraft: Pushing Forward on the Death Knight

    I went through the pre-Throne of Thunder LFRs on my Death Knight since I really wanted to finish up the legendary gem quest and get a few extra pieces of gear. It started off as a somewhat weird day since I went from the easier ones to the harder ones, mostly focusing on blood spec…

  • World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 2 Simple Tactics

    Right now, I’ve started to farm part 1 and part 2 as I find them relatively easy compared to the rest of the raid. So I’d like to offer you my experience as a casual player for part 2 as a DPS class. Tortos The first fight will be Tortos. This is essentially the Super…

  • 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 I’ve read tactics over on WoWHead but some of the write ups for the LFR strategies tend to feel out of date compared to what you may encounter in LFR at the moment.…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: Which Classes to Stay Away From as a New Player

    In my previous blog, I wrote up a summary of why I felt ranged classes made for a good starting point for new players. Here, I wanted to contrast that idea with classes that you may want to stay away from as a new player. Generally speaking, I advise new players to avoid healing. Healing…

  • 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: Best Starting Class/Role

    World of Warcraft certainly has changed since I first started. The game has become a hundred times simpler in terms of all the different aspects you had to manage about your character. Also, questing and dealing with most mobs are no longer as problematic because of the clean up of old areas and making mobs…

  • World of Warcraft: Boss Mechanics, Farming and LFR

    When patch 5.2 hit, I felt that the game went in the wrong direction, hence why I quit for a bit. One thing I noticed about the fights were the general increasing complexity. While making fights more interesting can be a good thing, I think the developers are wrong because they don’t really understand their…

  • World of Warcraft: Worst Zones

    I saw a thread on the World of Warcraft forums discussing the top 5 worst zones. I am going to list out my worst zones here but this is more for leveling than anything else: Badlands – When they re-did this zone, I was somewhat excited because there wasn’t a lot of quests here originally.…
