Jov’s still on vacation but, fortunately for you, Mr. Seri has had something on his mind…

Hi, I’m Mr. Seri and I’m a tree.

I play WoW casually (far more casually than my wife and our friends) and since earlier this year I’ve been raiding with a progression raid guild as a resto druid.

A few months ago [...]

I hope no one has the delusion that just because I write a blog I have everything figured out. I don’t. I read alot, but still struggle with decisions all the time. My current pondering is what to do with my Emblems of Conquest. As you may know, my gui…

AD Changed on the PTRArdent Defender: Redesigned. Any damage that takes the paladin below 35% health or below is reduced. This reduction applies only to the portion that pushes the paladin below 35% health (example: a paladin at 50% health takes a 40% …

Blizzard shocked the World of Warcraft community yesterday with this announcement:

We wanted to give everyone a very early heads-up that, in response to player requests, we’re developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance. There’s still much work to do and many details to iron out, but the basic idea is that players will be able to use the service to transform an existing character into a roughly equivalent character of the opposing faction …

Sacred Shield is the spell all Paladins receive upon achieving Level 80.Sacred Shield Rank 112% of base mana 40 yd rangeInstant cast Each time the target takes damage they gain a Sacred Shield, absorbing 500 damage and increasing the paladin’s chance t…

No, not those twinkies. These Twinkies!
I haven’t had a lot to say on the blog lately because rather than being focused on leveling my characters, I’ve been focused on leveling and gearing new and existing characters to do a little twinking in battle grounds.
Since the paladin that I blogged about for so long is [...]

The folks over at Wowhead launched their new character profiler tool, Wowhead Profiler, yesterday. According to the announcement in their blog, it has been under development for over 2 years and they’re extremely excited about it. I can’t say my initial enthusiasm was matched… do we really need yet another caching tool? Nonetheless, it’s from [...]

I’ve copied over to the PTR, but we we’ve been raiding so I haven’t actually gotten over there yet. I really want to because I’d like to play with Ardent Defender and the new Seal of Vengeance a bit. I know that Ardent Defender will not make it…

With Jov out of town for the week, Seri is once again bereft of an outlet for her random musings, as well as a not insignificant source of daily entertainment. Well, when the cat’s away the mice will play…
Here at World of Snarkcraft we embrace diversity and recognize that no two raiders are alike but [...]

As stated last week, here’s the post outlining how to determine weights to plug into lootrank to figure out your best in slot.  It’s a general list written by (alas) a DPS-type, so it’s not aimed at healers specifically, but I hope you all can still find it useful.  Yuki’s been my guildie, my buddy, [...]

With the PTR up, the mechanics of the new AD have been discovered and some of my questions answered.Now keep in mind, this is the first iteration of the PTR, it is almost certain what we get as the Live version will be different in some way.Here’s wh…

I just finished up the Midsummer Fire Festival achievements and I must say that the best tip that I learned was

Good news for everyone who dreads the downtime ever Tuesday: There will be rolling restarts this week. Woot! Woot!

With some of the problems that came about with the Midsummer Fire Festival quests I expected regular extended maintenance this week, so I am really excited to see that we are only having rolling restarts.

This week Blog Azeroth’s Shared Topic is “Situational Awareness in Raids”.Lissanna writes “I thought it would be neat to see how all the classes (even tanks and DPS) handle the multi-tasking that is required during raids. Do tanks and DPS sometimes hav…

I received a tell from a Rogue buddy of mine from my T6 days in Dominion. He was helping his guild (not Dominion anymore) put together a weekend Naxx25. I had previously mentioned to him I’d love to go on one of my alts if they needed people. I thought…

Any dungeons that previously dropped Emblems of Heroism or Valor, such as Naxxramas or Heroic Halls of Stone, will now drop Emblems of Conquest instead. Emblems of Conquest can still be converted to Valor or Heroism.o The heroic dungeon daily quest wil…

I finally got to the point where I needed to step away from my current guild. I won’t go into the details here as it’s probably nothing more than a way to cause drama, and I have no interest in doing that. There wasn’t really a single thing that drove me away from [...]
