New Druid Forms: Color Charts

[Jul 30, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Griffith

We have some further detail on which hair/skin colors will result in which forms for the druids in the upcoming patch. With the possible exception of the change to shaman totems, this is really the 3.2 change that I am most looking forward to. This change is completely full of win on an epic scale. [...]

Jov sez: Why I’m looking forward to faction-transfers.

[Jul 28, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Zimmerman

While I don’t  have as strong a case of alt-itis as Seri, I have been known to…  dabble… in character creation.  Okay, I’m addicted to it, and stubbornly roll healing class after healing class after healing class.  And don’t get me wrong, I don’t play most of the characters I roll.  Nothing against them, but [...]

When I did my post on the change to Vindication coming in Patch 3.2, I got a question in the comments asking if Hammer of the Righteous would proc Vindication on multiple mobs.I checked around and it didn’t appear anyone had tested it. So I copied ov…

Reputation Farming: Cenarion Circle and Sporeggar

[Jul 23, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Griffith

Over the weekend I decided that, once again, I wanted to change up Lexington’s (BElf Paladin 74) professions. With his enchanting quite close to being maxed, I had no desire to drop it from how much it costs to get it leveled up, nor for the time I spent farming various enchanting recipes around the [...]

Legitimate Warrior Concerns

[Jul 20, 2009 | View Comments] by: Honors Code

After the excitement of Friday nights run, I really wanted to do some tanking on my Warrior. I was trying to put together a Heroic group when guild chat popped up with the idea of an Alt Naxx10 run.I jumped at the chance to be one of the tanks. The oth…

From the PTR: Adopt an Oracle or Frenzyheart Orphan Today

[Jul 15, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Zimmerman

Most of the big news coming out about the next patch involves the new Argent Coliseum dungeon and raid encounters, as well as changes to classes. But it seems like the story that is being overlooked is the future of the poor Oracle and Frenzyheart orphans who so desperately need to be adopted by a loving adventurer.

Druid Leveling: 1-20 (Balance)

[Jul 10, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Griffith

[Update: One thing that I didn't mention in this guide is that even though you can train Aquatic Form from your trainer now instead of having to do the quest for it, I STRONGLY suggest that you do the quest anyway. You receive the Aquarius Belt for completing the quest which has some excellent stats [...]

I have been playing on the Public Test Realms today and all the buzz in every chat channel is about the new raids opening. That’s right folks, get your copied characters and premade toons on the PTR to experience those new raids tonight at 7:00pm EST. I am definitely looking forward to the new content.

Patch 3.2 Preview: New Shaman Totem Bar [screenshot]

[Jul 9, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Zimmerman

Attention all Shaman: The new totem bar is a nice feature that you are really going to enjoy.

If you are like me, you have been frustrated by running into a boss fight and trying to drop totems one at a time while waiting for their cooldown in between. This is especially frustrating for healers because you are trying to get your totems down and watch health bars at the same time. Can you imagine…

Macro: Advertising Your Profession

[Jul 9, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Griffith

Over the last week I have seen a lot of searches coming to my blog relating to macros used to advertise your profession, so I’m going to give it to you.

Now, while it may not make a whole lot of difference as far as what you have to do to make it work and so forth, you cannot actually do this with a macro. What you can do it with, is a

Seri sez: So, about that new Tier 9 gear…

[Jul 9, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Zimmerman

Am I the only one that has been underwhelmed by the tier sets in this expansion? It kind of makes me long for the days when druids wore shrubberies on their shoulders and antlers on their heads. Granted, as a Rogue I get to wear shoulders with a quick-flick tentacle animation… it’s so cool it [...]

Using Recount As A Tank

[Jul 3, 2009 | View Comments] by: Honors Code

One of the mods that I sacrifice some some of my screen real estate for is Recount. So what’s a Tank doing staring at Recount? Well, I’m not raid leading so I’m not monitoring the DPS levels. It wouldn’t matter much anyway because the DPSers in…

Seri sez: Transfer or Treason? You decide.

[Jul 2, 2009 | View Comments] by: Jason Zimmerman

It’s been a busy news week in Azeroth, with all the patch information coming from the PTR. However, perhaps the most interesting bit of news so far has nothing to do with the patch. On Monday, one of the CMs broke the news that Blizzard is working on a paid faction change service.
That’s right… at [...]
