I’m continuing my series of posts where I compile resources for players looking for the best gear to have in order to start raiding in Cataclysm.

Cataclysm Pre-Raid Tank Gear
Below are some of the better gear lists I have found so far. I’ll keep updating this list as new resources become available.
Death Knight

Cataclysm has only been out for a week and I’ve come to the conclusion that the level cap should have been set at 90 instead of 85.
Let’s ignore the Paladin named Forscience who went from 80 to 85 in just over five hours. He doesn’t count because inevitably someone always gets the first level capped character with help from friends and mob tagging.
We will also ignore the people who played endlessly…

To add to my series of compilation posts for Cataclysm Pre-Raid gear guides and shopping lists, I’ve found a couple resources for tanks. I lumped the plate wearing tanks together. Death Knights: the first link has some information on 2-Handed weapons for you.

Segment 39: Add-ons for Paladins
This week we’ll look at a few add-ons for Paladins. Keep in mind that in many cases, add-ons are multi-class, so even if you don’t play a pally, it’s worth your time to check out the links in the segment notes to see if there’s anything for your favorite class.

Since there was a request for the words to my little poem at the beginning of WoWphiles Podcast #50, I decided to post them here for everyone.
Enjoy!
Twas the night before Cataclysm when all through the land,
Not a creature was stirring, not even the Cult of the Damned.
In the shadows the Burning Legion prepared,
In hopes that a great dragon soon would be there.
Varian Wrynn had just gotten…

One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of an expansion is search item databases and find out what is the best gear for my character to have in order to successfully start raiding. Yes, I truly am a nerd like that.
I’m sure I will do the same this expansion for my characters, but in addition I’m compiling resources for all classes and specs to help you all get prepared for…

I tried to log in to World of Warcraft this evening to get back to leveling my Priest only to find a 150mb download waiting for me.
It seems that Blizzard is giving us the patch again because there were some problems with people receiving it the first time. I must say, I love that Blizzard gives us content patches, but as someone who has a slow internet connection I can’t help but QQ a…
