WoWphiles World of Warcraft Blog and Podcast. A wow blog and podcast for World of Warcraft players.

Wow..Thanks for discussing my post on this show…it TOTALLY caught me by surprise…lol, but in a good way. Yeah, a lot of what I wrote would have complications in executing in-game, and with well over 11 million subs, Blizzard evidently knows their business…well, but a little part of me would like to believe that Blizz agents are scourging the net…pulsing the community. We know they aren’t shy about incorporating add-ons, and they are players themselves, so I’m sure they just want to create a better gaming experience for all. BTW…what happened to the discussion about casting for the future movie????…lastly…the letter about that tank losing respect for you guys for Modem’s assessment were a bit ridiculous, but it goes with the territory I suppose. You guys do a great job weekly in putting together this show, and this is one of only two WoW podcast I listen to weekly, because it provides informative discussion to help me as a gamer.

BTW…is it me, or does the splash graphic for SCII on Blizzard.com look a bit “Arthas-ish”?…The one with Half Prince Arthas and Have Death Knight Arthas.

Few things on the encounters you talked about. First mod wise when it comes to Blood queen I would recommend picking up Vamp and Vamparrow. Vamp allows you to create a bite list based on priority before the fight starts. During the fight it will send whispers to the person who has to bite, and a whisper to the person being bitten. It also puts a bite on the person to be bitten and tells the person what the mark is. Picking up Vamparrow in addition uses AVR to draw an arrow between the person who needs to bite and the person to be bitten making it very obvious where you need to go during the bite.

Those addons aren’t really needed for 10 man… but for 25 man it is insanely helpful in coordinating 8 bites.

On Valithra… I do want to mention that the paladin+ blood of the rhino thing doesn’t exactly work how you mentioned. Yes it increases healing given to Valithra but it is only the healing coming from the glyph that gets transferred to her. When a paladin heals a target with any kind of bonus healing effect, that bonus healing DOES NOT transfer to the beaconed target.

The advantage is that you get higher healing from the glyph splash with holy light on the pet but it doesn’t correlate to a 40% increase to Valithra.
