Oh, the Arcanity!

Ever heard of a mage called Fireangel?
Fireangel is the result of what happens when a mage asks “I wonder how high I can make my damage go…”. He specced himself to 40/0/21, and proceeded to drop magely jaws around the world when he posted what kind of damage he was doing.
To put it bluntly, Arcane [...]

On Burnout

See, this is why I try to avoid blogging about Wrath of the Snitch King.
So many massive changes all the time, it’s impossible to really place… well, anything.
Take fire.
A mere week ago, it was the weakest mage tree.
Three days ago, it was a horrendously bad tree filled with awful talents.
And now it’s pretty damn good.
So [...]

The Hunter Issue

Upon reaching Outland on the hunter, I met no less than five other hunters while doing the “Welcome to Thrallmar, punk” quests.
I grouped with another hunter to do that pirate patch Orc guy. Grilled Darkeye or something.

As I stated then, it is really easy to be a terrible DPS player. You can get to level 70 as a DPS class with no knowledge of [...]

Boy Howdy, DPS is Shoor Hard

DPS is easy. All you do is sit there and spam two or three buttons, and watch shiny numbers show up on your screen.
It takes no skill.
DPS is easy, it’s low stress, and you don’t even have to pay attention to what you’re doing. So you could watch TV and raid or something.

ALL LIES.
Well. Almost [...]

This Made Me Giggle…

Right now, if you go to the wikipedia page for WoW developer Tom Chilton, you have the following rather amusing picture accompanying the article:

*Edit – Obviously, this has been removed. It is preserved here for giggles*
The article currently states the following:
Although Chilton was on the developer panels at BlizzCon 2005 in October 2005, it is [...]

Invisibility – More Info Than You Need!

So. Invisibility. Let’s get this out of the way.

More often than not, misinformation about Invisibility is quoted pretty much everywhere, including by yours truly.
