Inscription, My New Profession of Choice

WoW Insider ran an interesting “Gold Capped” article today that is quite timely for me as I had picked up Inscription on my Monk two weeks. My limited experience with the profession has been quite positive and I’d been looking … Continue reading

Three Months in and Blizzard Still Isn’t Addressing the Time Issue

Blizzard released the initial patch notes for patch 5.2 last week and there are a few notable changes that I’ve been wanting to discuss for the past few days. Now that Christmas is past I have time to start digging … 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

Level 80 Monk and the Cataclysm Gear Hole

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

Early Preparation Alleviates Some of the Pain of Leveling Cooking in MoP

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

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

Two LFR Loot System Modifications to Rule Them All

There’s been a lot of criticism regarding the LFR loot system changes in MoP, much of which Blizzard has acknowledged is founded.  But those criticisms largely boil down a general lack of understanding from the players in how the game … 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

Prospecting Ore in MoP Isn’t Economically Viable in MoP

My main has been a Jewel Crafter and Enchanter for years.  And for the most part I’ve enjoyed both professions and have never had an issue with anything Blizzard had done with either profession in previous expansions.  Blizzard has made … Continue reading

Jewel Crafting Mounts

Just in case you hadn’t noticed, Blizzard added a metric butt ton of new mounts to the game in MoP.  A few of which are made by Jewel Crafters (hurray!), and I finally got around to making all of them … Continue reading

Botters Doing Their Thing

In Part 1 you see a couple of characters from a notorious botting guild on my server.  These two are well known among the community and despite being reported are still around.  One could say that doesn’t the fact that … Continue reading

Okay I Sort of Like Symbiosis Afterall

I’m nothing if not resistant to change, and true to form I’d been mostly “meh” regarding Symbiosis since MoP was released.  So much so that I hadn’t even placed it on my bar until recently.  I’ve fallen back into my … Continue reading
