Gah, holiday, real life business, as well as a general posting apathy has set in lol. Anyway, we are back in the swing of things raiding wise: 10-man Naxxramas cleared, 10-man Obsidian Sanctum cleared, 25-man Spider Wing, Plague Wing and all but Thadius in the Construct Wing cleared. Naxxrammas 25 isn’t all that different than … Read more
The holiday season isn’t that far away. ’tis the season to achievement farm! The following quests are requirements for the Merrymaker achievement, which in itself is a requirement for the What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been achievement, which rewards you with a violet proto-drake! The Winterveil events according to the in-game calendar will go … Read more
I have an urge to post about something that isn’t related to the World of Warcraft for once. *gasp!* So: On combining basic weapon types to create even cooler weapons. The weapons are categorized according to their dominant property. For example, the Gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII is primarily an edged weapon and is thus … Read more
Whenever a guild heroic group is formed the conversation goes something like this: “Where do you all want to go?” “I don’t know, what instances does everyone need?” “What do you need from heroic <x>?” …and then every single time I have to go to Wowhead to look up loot tables. Some of these are … Read more
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I have been “busy” with instancing and reputation grinding lol. I finally got my Red Drake mount last week! In theory it would have been better to focus on factions that give usable gear but I mean, it’s a bright red dragon. Who isn’t completely enamored with riding … Read more
Zone spoilers ahead: Icecrown is obviously designed for flying mounts, with the dramatic geography and quest hubs huddled way up in the mountain ranges, a fairly new concept seeing as flying wasn’t available until level 70 in the previous expansion. I don’t imagine hoofing it being all that practical or even possible… Out of all … Read more
Crits hurt. Your first gearing priority as a tank should be to become uncrittable. The formula: (83*5)+(5/0.04) = 540 Defense Skill. Remember that 540 is the crit cap as in, the cap for mitigating critical strikes. 540 is not a hard defense cap. Defense will still continue to increase your dodge, parry, and block by … Read more
I hit level 80 at around 5pm on Saturday and then started running heroics an hour later when more level 80 guild members logged on. I might have rushed through 79 for the sake of catching up with everyone >_<. Instance completion is retroactive in the sense that, if you run heroic before you run … Read more
I hit 80 at 4:50pm on the 22nd; Just in time to run a heroic! I totally faked the post date of this entry for the sake of posterity, it is indeed actually 1am on Monday /sleep. I’ll post a weekend update some time tomorrow.
I CAN FLY AGAIN. Umm anyway, this site needed a logo so here you go: Two minute Photoshop job for the win! Despite the fact that I have been gaining a level a day, I have been taking my time and thoroughly enjoying the new content. I am very pleased with the new quests so … Read more
