  • World of Warcraft: Priest Hits 90 and Starts LFR Runs Almost Immediately

    So my plan for leveling and gearing my priest up mostly worked. The leveling process in the end was a pretty big headache. It felt like it took far too long and I ended up doing more quests than on my rogue. Not sure if there’s an experience discrepancy between the two classes, but I…

  • World of Warcraft: DPS Class/Spec Review for Patch 5.3

    Mike Preach has come up with some interesting videos discussing whether you should roll a certain class or not. I felt inspired by a lot of his commentary and wanted to throw my two cents into the mix by examining the DPS roles of classes and specs I’ve played in this expansion so far. Retribution…

  • World of Warcraft: Pre-Throne of Thunder Raids Loot System Broken After Patch 5.3?

    I noticed something once patch 5.3 came in: the loot drop rate feels like they’re back before patch 5.2. I don’t know if Blizzard has bothered testing whether or not the loot drop rate is still at the new level but it’s pretty bad again. Hopefully, enough players will complain to Blizzard because I’m seeing…

  • World of Warcraft: Finally Finished Throne of Thunder (LFR)

    I had been procrastinating on doing the last leg of Throne of Thunder for a while now. But it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. The Lei Shen fight was more annoying and a clusterfuck but I could see that it was definitely doable. Main thing is just making sure people were marked, communication…

  • World of Warcraft: Warrior at Level 90 Next Eyeballing Mage

    I managed to hit 90 on my warrior last night. Overall, I would say that the entire process probably took roughly 4-5 nights altogether. Ultimately, my path consisted of doing the Jade Forest in its entirety (85-87), half of Valley of the Four Winds (87-88), Kun-Lai Summit (88-89) and finishing off with probably around a…

  • 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: 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: 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: 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…
