What a Day

Rare’s are rare, except for me yesterday when I ran into four of them.  And three of those virtually one right after the other as I was farming herbs. But this last one was such a tease! Dropping Epic Lootz … Continue reading

When You Are Healing Your Enemies Are The Players

WoW Insider ran an interesting article last weekend (Anne Stickney) regarding healing which I completely identified with.  I know that love/hate experience personally, having extensively healed on three classes across three expansions and having “dabbled” with the Monk class here … Continue reading

Ferdinand the Bull Apparently Didn’t Live Happily Ever After

I’ve mentioned this before but one of the things about Blizzard that I truly enjoy are the Easter Eggs they include in their games, and their use of “pop culture”.  For those of you who don’t recognize Ferdinand I give … Continue reading

I dinged level 80 on my Monk last night and was hoping to immediately power through Cataclysm in order to get him to Pandaria by Monday or Tuesday.  But it didn’t take long for me to see that probably wasn’t … Continue reading

Apparently Hall of Lightning is the New Bot Hangout

Bots are the worst now I have ever seen in WoW, and I’ve been playing a good long time.  I mostly see them in PVP though so I had been wondering where they all go to hang out when not … Continue reading

Remember when I said how important Farmer Yoon’s farm at Halfhill would be to you at level 90?  And that it was important you begin farming as soon as possible?  So important in fact I recommended you actually head to … Continue reading

Not Sure This Guy Is Feeling Very Thankful

Blizzard always finds little ways to introduce a little humor into the game.  And for that I’m very thankful!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Hope you have as great a day as I’m going to have!  Some WoW playing, Football, time with … Continue reading

I See Skeletal People, They’re Everywhere

OuOutside of one previous experience where I briefly participated in a Normal Mogu’Shan Vaults (MV) raid recently, I haven’t raided this expansion.  Instead I’ve gotten my raid experience through LFR and have been pretty happy with it.  But last night … Continue reading

Starting Off in MoP and Under Geared?

I had some extra time tonight and didn’t feel like doing dailies on either my Alliance main or Alt, and so I thought I’d start leveling my Horde Druid.  He’s incredibly under geared and didn’t meet the ilvl requirements of … Continue reading

Exploiters Need to Be Called Out When Discovered

I’d get banned from the official forums for doing this, but here on my blog I’m under no such threat.  I don’t like exploiters and detest only slightly less those players who witness or know of someone exploiting or cheating … Continue reading

MoP is not Nearly so Alt Friendly for the Average Casual Player

One of the hallmarks of WoW over the past few years is in how Casual friendly it’s become. I’m not counted among those players who think Blizzard’s push over the previous two expansions to open up content to casual players … Continue reading

The Straw That Broke the Prospectors Back

It was a surprisingly difficult decision but after mulling it over for the last two weeks I decided to drop Jewel Crafting and Enchanting and instead go completely gathering on my Druid.  Both Enchanting and Jewel Crafting had been very … Continue reading
