disagree with your resptful
2009-04-28 00:00:00
Teake, i resptfully disagree with your resptful disagreement. I'm here to play and have fun, and someone sning heals on my target is taking that fun away from me, and making me stand with my thumb up my butt doing nothing. Also, if they are healing my target, then they are not healing their target, and this makes raid effiey go waaaay down. When ppl start disregarding their assgnments, then I have no idea whh of my healersan take how mh responsibility, and whoan oran't fulfil their role...whh makes healing assigments harder. Plus it makes me a sad bunny that someone thinks i'm not good enough to heal my target and fulfil my role, and wants to babysit me o.O O i ahve no objtion to someone else safelyhking a heal onto my target if they are in real trouble, or I am in real trouble *shrug*. It's not about healing meters (and i'm di anyway, so left that sort o'thing behind me months ago :P ). But yeah, trust me to be good enough to do my job. I'll shriek if i need help, thanks! DPS if you have nothing to do ;)

We're organized enough not to interfere with one another overmh, and outside-assignment healing tends to do more good than harm. Agree to...

New World of Warcraft stein features Lich King
2009-04-13 00:00:00
Remember those World of Warcraft steins you thought were way too expensive and passed on buying? There's another one. Three Point Entertainment has released a new stein, this one featuring everyone's favorite bad guy, the Lich King himself, brandishing Frostmourne and leading an army of the Undead in the way he's apt to do. We have to admit, it does look cool and all, but at $90, we'll be drinking our ale from the usual sippy-cup, thanks. And just in case you happen to be burdened with too much money in this horrendous economy, you can get a "Legendary Collection " version...

No account-wide DKs just yet (for some)
2009-04-13 00:00:00
As of the shortly before Wrath launch time, the plan for Death Knight character creation was as follows: If you have a level 55 or greater character on any realm, You can create one DK per realm on any realm you like. You can't, of course, create DKs of the opposite faction on a PvP server on which you already have characters. Since the expansion launched, though, due to technical limitations, it has only been possible to create a DK on servers on which you have a 55+. 3.0.8 was supposed to ease this restriction, returning...

One Boss Leaves
2009-04-13 00:00:00
Two Bosses Enter ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider's series of fantasy death matches. This season's duelists hail from the five-man instances of Northrend. Last week's Two Bosses Enter ... One Boss Leaves deathmatch saw King Ymiron handily dispatching Drakkari Colossus. This week, Ormorok the Tree-Shaper (The Nexus) chops down Meathook (The Culling of Stratholme), as readers dodge gameplay mechanics to really get into the swing of theorycrafting. Crowfoot sums it up (with a good ...

Two Bosses Enter ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider's series of fantasy death matches. This season's duelists hail from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King. Commanders Kolurg or Stoutbeard carried this week's matchup by popular decision over contender Erekem. Dissenters made a strong case, though, for the Arakkoa's comeback potential in the likely event that the Commander's Whirlwind took out his guards.

Patch 3.1
2009-04-13 00:00:00
We have the first piece of the PTR 3.1 Patch Notes. Right from Zarhym's mouth tonight. Yaaarrrr! Now has a detailed tooltip. Well thank god for that, I mean what would have happened if Yaaarrrr!'s tooltip got left out? I mean, that would be tantamount to not letting clams stack. And we all know what happened to that. By the way, Yaaarrrr! is the spell that comes with the Savory Deviate Delight that turns you into a pirate or a ninja. It does look like there's a good bit of activity going on over...

Phat Loot Phriday
2009-04-13 00:00:00
That doesn't look like a sword. It just looks like a terrifying swath of death! We love it. Name: Avool's Sword of Jin (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoW-Arsenal) Type: Epic One-hand Sword Damage/Speed: 150-280 / 1.50 (143.3 DPS) Abilities: +38 Agility, +36 Stamina Improves hit rating by 31 and attack power by 62 Great sword for Rogues or Hunters, though the method of obtaining it (see below) probably outweighs the actual stats of it, unless you really, really want one. The hit is great, t...

I don't know how new this is but it's news to me, and great news to Mages looking for more Polymorphing fun -- reader Alassiel on Uldaman (thanks!) was poking around Dalaran in the beta, and in the Sisters Sorcerous shop, he found a new Polymorph spell, Black Cat, for... wait for it... 2500g. Yes, it'll cost you more than twice a Gigantique bag, but if you're looking for a new Poly spell and don't want to muck around in the waters of ZG, there you go. And appare...

PvP upgrades incoming for Shadow Priests
2009-04-13 00:00:00
I have to be honest, this sort of falls into the realm of non-news here, but it piqued my interest anyway. Ghostcrawler recently hinted about some PvP upgrades for Shadow Priests, and it came up again last night. GC didn't give any specifics, only said that they hoped to announce the details 'soon.' Despite the lack of details, I'm really looking forward to these announcements. I'm a Shadow Priest at heart, and while I'm perfectly fine with respeccing for different parts of the game, it would be n...
