Welcome to Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium, Segment #9: AuctionLite
This week we’re going to look at an add-on that will help you dominate the economy on your Realm. AuctionLite is the add-on for the day traders of World of Warcraft. While not as comprehensive as the bettter-known Auctioneer, AuctionLite has a lot of functions that make working the Auction House a lot less of a chore.

Now that I’m back I thought I’d try and be more active in the blogging community, instead of just posting stuff I wanna write. Besides this is a big help since I often live in a non-creative loser doldrum. Well lets get down to it, this is the Blog Azeroth for the week of January 25th, hope you all like it!

Back in Segment #4, I told you about Grid. Our hosts mentioned Healbot in the same episode, and since I had never tried it, I thought “why not” and installed it.
All I can say about Healbot is “AWESOME!”
Dump Grid. Seriously. Run WoWmatrix or go to Curse or WoWinterface and get Healbot. Do it now.

Today my buddy Rhidach was talking about the abuse being thrown Paladins way both in game on the Forums. It’s even infiltrated once great sites like Tankspot. It has made meaningful discussion nearly impossible on the Official Forum, not that it was an easy task even before this. Anything from Paladins is immediately troll fodder.

Welcome to Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium, Segment Number 8.
Guest voice by Rakeleer Frostfyre
Continuing in our not-necessarily-for-raiding vein, this week I’ll tell you about not one, but two add-ons: AchievementSnap and DingRecorder.
I’m sure that everyone has heard the old “screenshot or it didn’t happen” taunt. Some people won’t go look up the facts on the Armory, but you can post a screenshot on Flicker and they’re perfectly happy to accept that as proof. AchievementSnap makes sure that you will have a screenshot of every achievement you earn after installing it, and, thanks to the way WoW creates filenames for screenshots, you’ll have a nice timestamp for the achievement as well.

Monday night we assembled the crew and headed for the Blood wing of Ice Crown Citadel. We had made some really good progress at learning the Blood Princes on Thursday and we felt like we had a shot at them.
I didn’t put two and two together until we were running Heroic Old Kingdom for the daily but the vampire boss in hOK is none other than Prince Taldaram. He even conjures a Flame Sphere just like he does in the Raid fight.

GC has been posting on the forums, mostly about the needed buff to Protection Warriors sustained damage, but he’s also touched on the AE aspect of tanking. Let’s break down what the Crab has communicated.
“There are differences in how tanks generate AE threat, and therefore damage. Warriors are jealous of the DK and especially paladin persistent area-based damage, and the others are jealous of the warrior’s burst AE threat on incoming adds. Druids are jealous of anyone with more than one button. 
”

The last installment of the Protection Paladin AoE Grinding Guides has waited quite a while for the final piece of the puzzle. It has been asked for several times by my readers and while I took the request seriously I’ve certainly failed to deliver on that promise. At least until now. Well, sort of.
I am going to start off with some updates from the previous guides as recent patches have changed the way some things work. After the updates we’ll get into the juicy part and start talking about the portion we’ve left uncovered so far; AoE Grinding in Northrend.

And Tivonicus the Druid becomes 80 number 4.
That gives me a Level 80 of every Tanking class save the Death Knight, although my Warrior has been retired for a while. I don’t plan on making the Druid a Tank as I prefer Resto on him. His second spec will be Feral or Boomkin. It’s Feral right now because that made it easier for leveling and soloing. I’ll probably keep him Feral for farming Leather.

So last night we gathered up the crew and headed into ICC. We grabbed a Hunter who I think normally runs with Perp’s group. The two raid groups seem to be very good about sharing members between them. Most everyone in the two raid groups have multiple 80s at this point. I’m about to ding on my fourth Level 80 toon, and I level slower than virtually anyone else in our guild.

Welcome to Icesnake’s Add-on Emporium! This is Segment Number 7, and I’m going to depart from the must-have raiding add-ons to introduce you to a small, utilitarian add-on called DeclineDuel.
DeclineDuel, or “DD,” does exactly what the name tells you: When someone challenges you to a duel, DD will decline it. If you’re the kind of player who prefers to limit her dueling to specific places or times, then you’ll want to have DD installed.
DD has a few options, invoked using the /dd command, including setting the add-on active or not (so you can accept duels when you want to), setting specific messages to send to the challenger, and setting “PMS mode,” which can be downright brutal when it auto-declines.

This continues my post from Monday. This edition is a little lighter on gear. Keep in mind your key stats Stamina, Strength, Defense, Agility, Hit, Parry, and Dodge and you’ll do fine.
The 40s: Pass the Plate
You can wear Plate now. Don’t break the bank getting a full Plate set, but see about putting one together quickly. The additional armor is noticeable.

With the advent of the Looking for Dungeon tool, Tanks are in demand through all level ranges. This is great news for Paladins, Warriors, Druids and Death Knights leveling up as they find the near instant queues that we see at level 80.
Tanking a sub Level 80 dungeon in greens and blues is very different from tanking at the level cap in full epic gear. But each time you run, you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, and I’m not just talking about the points you need to level up.
