WoW Update: Happy 2009

Hello fellow guild members who happened to stumble upon this site, noticing that it gets updated more frequently than the guild homepage does. No seriously, none of you have ever clicked on my profile and signature links on the forums? Those are (usually) work safe 😀

Apologies to those who sent me questions via email and were blown off; I was busy with holiday activities (January is the Monday of the year). Most of the questions were asking aboutDrupal, the content management system that I use for this site, in the context of WoW.

The Drupal itemstats module hasn’t been updated in over a year and does not work anymore. I use the wowhead script. The downside to this method being that it doesn’t parse [item] tag names. I’ll make a list of some of the modules that I like.

Anyway, we cleared 25-man Naxxramas on Saturday evening; It was a good raid, our DPS definitely went way up from last week. One-shottedThadius, Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad; The only bosses that we had not killed on heroic. Raid progression wise, that only leaves Malygos and Sartharion with the drakes up.

  • I’ve been PvPing lately ala the 3v3/5v5 arena and Wintergrasp. It’s way more fun to PvP as a retadin than it is to PvP as a protection healer.
  • I also finally got my Blizzard Authenticator in the mail the other day. It was $6.50 ($7 with shipping). that’s not a bad price for added account security.
  • Loatheb’s Shadow finally dropped last night.
  • I am 3 badges away from the plate DPS bracers.

Edit: By the way, the 3% ghost hit mystery was hotfixed yesterday. As speculated, retribution paladins who were spec’d into precision pre-3.0 were still receiving the hit bonus.

During the transition from patch 2.4.3 to 3.0.3 the following talents were not unlearned properly by some players, resulting in those players still gaining the benefits despite the talents no longer existing in the talent trees. As a result, we’ve pushed a hotfix which has corrected this matter and affected players will longer receive credit for having these talents.

Warlock: Improved Lash of Pain
Warlock: Fel Stamina
Shaman: Totemic Mastery
Shaman: Improved Lightning Shield (Rank 3)
Paladin: Precision
Rogue: Fist Weapon Specialization
Priest: Shadow Focus (Ranks 4 and 5) 

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
