Nifty Topics to Increase Forum Use

Don’t tell anyone this, but I’m actually in multiple guilds. I’m not cheating on my guild per se. But these guilds are involved with different games that aren’t a main focus. Unsurprisingly, can you guess the most popular page o...

Two Different Experiences, One Guild

Today I’m going to paint for you two pictures of different individuals. Both of them are in the same guild. Both are on the same raid team and are of the same member rank. Their raiding performances are comparable to one another. Playe...

End-Game Gearing, Part I – An Evolution

Whenever I think about the process of gearing in WoW, I invariably picture MC Escher’s famous print, “Ascending and Descending”. Although more people might be familiar with the movie Inception’s depiction of the Penrose Stairs, t...

Resto Shaman Mailbag #5: Your Dragon Soul Questions, Answered

It’s been just two months since Dragon Soul was released, and whether due to the holidays or maybe just the excitement of consuming new content, it seems like time has been racing by. Judging by the number of emails that I’ve receive...

T13: Thoughts that Pour from a Weary Mind

Amid a torrent of cheers and sighs of relief, Cataclysm raiding came to a close last night for Vigil’s raid team. HM Deathwing finally succumbed to the Aspects and to our determination, and although no epic legs or cow-themed secret ph...

The 4 Most Common Holy Priest Mistakes

Whenever I write a post about being a healing priest, or more specifically a holy priest, I try really hard not to tell people what to do. I try not to make it seem as if there is only one right way to do things. Most of the advice t...

Druid Talents – Mists of Pandaria Preview

I never wrote down my thoughts on the Druid talent tree preview when it was first announced at BlizzCon last year. It was clear then that it was very preliminary and needed a lot of work. Yesterday the talent trees were updated so I thou...

What I Want for Valentine’s Day

I want a Dark Intent. Give me that delicious haste and extra periodic healing effect. Of course, you know what I need before I can get a DI of my very own? Warlocks in my raid! (I’d probably need lots of warlocks in my raid because...

Evaluating Feral Druid Tanks with World of Logs

This is another guest post by my guildmate Jaymz. He wrote about how to evaluate feral kitties a little while ago, and now he’s taking a look at Bears. Rawr. My full guide on evaluating raiders (especially healers) with WoL can b...

Heeding the Call of the 666s

I don’t get tagged in memes often (I was even TOTALLY neglected in the last resurrection of the Circle of Healers questionny thing, over which I STILL cry myself to sleep. I’m a sensitive soul, what can I say?) so I was thril...

Words Words Words

I try to stay out of these debates in the WoW community because they’re exhausting and (I know this is in direct contradiction of my conclusion!) they lead nowhere. Extremists remain extremists and moderates remain moderates. But, ...

Account-wide Achievements and Questions of Identity

There’s been talk recently about having account-wide achievements in Mists of Pandaria and it leaves me (and I suspect many others) unsure as to how to feel about this. I am not the only person who raids with a different character ...

Recruitment Blues

I don’t tend to like to use blog entries here solely to pimp out my guild. I feel as though I owe my readers more than “NEED APPS!!!” in terms of content. So I’ll sum up the last couple of months in terms of Apoth...

Translating SWTOR’s Signs

Okay, I know. I really need to just make a SWTOR blog to post SWTOR stuff to (or perhaps just “a blog” where I can post whatever the crap I want.) Maybe now that I have hit level 50 on my Sorcerer I will find that I have time...

I am bad at names.

Occassionally I hit on something good, but usually I just feel sorta like I’m flailing in a sea of terrible ideas. Should I take up blogging for SWTOR too? I’m considering it. But I need a clever name for a new blog. If I com...

The End

If it wasn’t already terribly obvious that my blogging here has been dying out, I’m making it official. I’ve canceled my WoW account; I’m just no longer interested in playing the game. I enjoyed the hell out of bl...

Exploring the Continued Vitality of 25 Man Raiding

A couple of weeks back, I read a post by Graylo where he pondered the vitality of 25 man raiding as part of his “MoP Wishlist” series that he’s been writing. I agreed with a lot of what he had to say in regards to the ...
