HARROW: I know him. And I think he’s a psychotic lowlife.
MAL: And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community.

Another OverAchiever, another Firefly quote. I wonder how much of the series we’ll manage to get through here before we finish off Glory of the Hero, because this is [...]
MIMIRON
Mimiron is…kind of complicated to describe. Suffice it to say that it’s a four-phase fight with different abilities to worry about on each phase. Short of writing a 3,000-word tract on Mimiron alone, I’m simply going to refer you here and here, and we’ll proceed under the assumption that you have a basic familiarity with [...]
Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting Druids and those who group with them. This week, as other people continue their march through Ulduar, I continue to ask myself if it wouldn’t be more cost-effective in the long run just to take my ailing graphics card out behind the woodshed and end its pathetic misery [...]
Ready Check is a weekly column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week, we’re heading to Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad to visit a few old friends, complete Naxxramas, and wonder to ourselves why everyone on [...]
Ready Check is a weekly column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week, we unwisely decide to give the column to Allison “Oops, I forgot my frost resist” Robert. Not that you actually need [...]
Welcome to Lichborne. Your host is inflicted with the space plague this week, but has done his best to write for you people anyway, so be grateful, you hear?
We’ve covered 3.0.8 pretty extensively, between Mike Sacco’s coverage of the initial round of changes and our week before last discussion, but the devs weren’t done yet. [...]
Ready Check is a weekly column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week, we continue exploring Naxxramas by venturing into the territory of plague beasties.
Continuing our journey through the halls of Naxxramas, which began [...]
Here’s a question for you all from Percinho about my absolute favorite thing to do in game: five man instances. He and his guildies are about to run their very first instance (or they were when he sent this to us at ask@wowinsider.com), and he wants to know your very best tips for instance running:

That’s right, Atlasloot Enhanced has been updated to include the Northrend instances and raid. Personally, I’ve been waiting to be able to browse and try-on the gear from the new dungeons and raids since the expansion launched.
Atlasloot Enhanced is absolutely one of my must-have addons, and I’ve watched it grow with loving admiration since the [...]
Haven’t done a Mace in a while, and there are surprisingly few melee maces floating around nowadays. Since Shamans can’t wield swords, most of the really high end maces have spellpower on them. But here’s one that’s meant for cracking heads.
Name: Swiftsteel Bludgeon (Wowhead, Thottbot, WoWDigger)
Type: Epic One-hand Mace
Damage/Speed: 105-196 / 1.50 (100.3 DPS)
Abilities:

A lot of folks found the article on planning for the Brewmaster title helpful, so we thought we’d put one together for the upcoming Hallow’s End holiday as well. Getting all of the sub-Achievements for the Hallowed Be Thy Name Achievement will reward the title “The Hallowed,” but frankly I think this one is going [...]
