Reader Paul K. sent us a query today about how to go about getting each of the champion dungeon tabards available at level 80, and since I’m about to hit level 80 (hopefully will be doing it tonight), I figured I’d do the work so the rest of you don’t have to. Wearing these tabards [...]
So we have a 3 AM to 11 AM Pacific downtime today. But honestly, I’m sort of hoping it’s not for patch day, because I have a Death Knight column going live later this morning that assumes testing’s going to go on for another few weeks. Besides, they just added a few new tweaks to [...]
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for nearly three of it’s four year run. It’s kind of amazing to me to see how things have changed over time. Many of the adjustments have been by player suggestions, and most of them for the good. The folks I’ve been playing with lately don’t have nearly as [...]

Before we get rolling with today’s column, I direct you to yesterday’s good news for elemental shamans. Soak it in, folks. Buffs for elemental with no huge nerfs attached? It’s like a holiday or something. You should go eat Turkey to celebrate. I’ll wait.
Okay, now we move on to yet more gear. Last time we [...]
Ghostcrawler, in a post to the Damage Dealing forums, outlined upcoming changes to Elemental Shamans. It’s a pretty substantial talent overhaul for the tree, aimed at streamlining and improving scaling at higher levels of gear. (And boy, is that a good thing.) Unlike the recent post changing how totems work as AoE, this is a [...]
It really can’t be disputed at this point: Varian Wrynn is not fond of the Horde, at all. There will be no Jaina-style mash notes to Thrall coming from Varian any time soon.
