  • World of Warcraft: Last Minute Gearing with Valor Points in Patch 4.3

    I started gearing an Arcane Mage, making her my 8th 85 level toon. Since this is my 8th toon, I decided to write up a post for casual players that want to gear up their toons. In particular, I want to discuss how you can plan out your gearing process, partly with valor points and…

  • The New Plan (For World of Warcraft)

    So I guess my plan of staying away didn’t really pan out. But I managed to get my mage ready for the Hour of Twilight instances. In the meantime, I’ve been helping a friend gear up his Paladin by taking one of my better DPS geared toons and running with him. The idea is that…

  • Temporarily Quitting World of Warcraft

    I got really fed up this past weekend at World of Warcraft because of the inability to really progress in the game. Ever since Diablo 3 launched, the quality of players in World of Warcraft has significantly declined (as most likely the better ones have left for D3). As a result, things like LFR and…

  • How the World of Warcraft Talent Tree Really Should Work

    I’ve discussed what I would do to change the way classes work in WoW. Now, I want to discuss how the talent tree should be altered. First let me say that the so-called talent tree being introduced in Mist of Panderia is a complete joke. It’s not a “tree” per se. It’s picking similar abilities…

  • World of Warcraft Needs A Massive Revamp of Classes

    World of Warcraft originally allowed for interesting specs to come about as a result of a flexible talent tree. When Cataclysm came out, it destroyed the flexible system by forcing players to choose a talent tree from the beginning. Supposedly, the idea was to help “new players” in creating a more focused talent tree and…

  • The Diablo 3 Fallout and It’s Influence over World of Warcraft

    I think many people knew this would happen. Once Diablo 3 launched, much of the World of Warcraft had vanished. Part of that was positive. For instance, more ore, herbs and other materials. Part of it was bad: less (good) people for LFR. The first two days after D3, I noticed that the queue times…

  • World of Warcraft: What to Do While Waiting for Instances

    Queue times in the World of Warcraft are extremely painful. I know in the past I would just run around in a circle in Dalaran for a queue to pop. Since I no longer play on a PVP server, I’ve found other activities that are far more productive. First, most people will say that while…

  • Arcane Mage Love

    Right now, I noticed that the players remaining in the World of Warcraft are not so good. Lots of fails with LFR. I suspect that it’s all related to Diablo 3’s release. As a result, I decided to focus on my mage as she’s one of the few remaining non-85’s I have left on Saurfang.…

  • World of Warcraft LFR Improvements

    Wowcrendor has a great video on LFR summed up. He only spends 30 (or so) seconds on the topic (which is a parody) but he’s managed to capture part of the essence (or rather frustrations) of LFR. While I do think LFR has been a positive boost to World of Warcraft, it still stinks of…

  • If World of Warcraft Was the Titanic

    and I was on the only life raft (with a power motor) and saw the entire WoW community floating in the stream screaming to be saved, I would take out a big book and start reading it while powering my boat in the opposite direction. That’s how I view the WoW community at large. I…
