Renovations are underway here on this fine blog.
See that “Critical” section? Everything on there is in the process of being finalized for Wrath. Work has been going on for some time to get them all up to snuff.
A fair amount of them will likely be reposted. As many of them from the TBC era, leaving them and their comments as is is likely to be extremely confusing.
The new guide to fire raiding just went live, and frost/arcane should be heading up very soon.
Then, I still have to add like a bajillion glyphs to the glyphs guide, update the “gearing up for 70 80 PvP” thing in time for S6…
And so forth.
I’m also trying to keep the guides shorter. I tend to be long-winded and wordy; though nowhere near the level of other bloggers, it’s still something I’d like to cut down.
So anyway. That’s what I’m doing here. Maybe I’ll have time to actually post some original content, though probably not. Such is the price of relevancy!
Though there are still those other guides I’ve had requests for that I should probably add…
Jeez, at this rate I should go work for Brady Games. I already have the embarrasing typo thing down pat.
*EDIT*
Just updated the Glyph post for 3.1. See, look how busy I am!
Woot!
I anxiously await your wisdom for the raiding as arcane, also looking forward to PvP as arcane.
Very much appreciative of all the research you do. And be wordy if you want to, I’ll read every last bit of it.
I too am very interested in pvp arcane, but also the benefits/downfalls of raiding fire/arcane like a 18/53/0 or something.
Bring on thy wisdom, wise troll.
I am still confused about scorch as 18/51/0+2. Should i even spec into Scorch? Should I assume a lock or another mage will always bring it for 25 mans? Is the dps loss from not scorching or carrying the improved scorch glyph worth the gain from the living bomb glyph?
Fully raid buffed in 25 mans, I crit like 55% of the time anyway, does Scorch matter?
Basically, the crux of my argument is that I can’t decide which 3 glyphs to take. LB, Fireball, MA, or Imp Scorch. MA is giving me 7.5% crit glyphed. Seems silly to swap that out for 5% imp scorch. I hear Living bomb glyph adds like 400dps? Sure the 5% crit from the scorch isn’t equal to 400 dps.
scorch give + 5% crit chance for fireball, so i’d call that pretty cool, even if you never scorch again.
