Spiritual Guidance: 3.0.8 for Priests

Every Sunday (usually), Spiritual Guidance will offer practical insight for priests of the holy profession. Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of PlusHeal, a new healing community for all restorative classes. Today Matticus looks at the upcoming 3.08 patch.
I thought we’d be getting the 3.0.8 patch [...]

Client patches for Wrath of the Lich King

To play Wrath tonight you’ll need to update the game. The game installs version 3.0.1 when you upgrade to Wrath, and you’ll need to update it version to 3.0.3. That means installing the following two patches:

Version 3.0.1 – > Version 3.0.2
Version 3.0.2 -> Version 3.0.3

You are in luck though and don’t have to wait around [...]

BBC: WoW’s patches may push some over the bandwidth limit

We’ve posted a few times already on the bandwidth limits recently introduced by some ISPs, and in general we’ve decided that WoW doesn’t use nearly enough bandwidth to get you in trouble with your Internet Service Provider. That’s likely still true, but as this columnist at the BBC found out, if you’re close to the [...]

Raiding has never been easier than in 3.0.2

Karazhan isn’t exactly cutting edge content. It’s had a few nerfs in its time. That being said, walking into Medivh’s home-away-from-evil with a collection of random alts, sightseers, and new-to-raiders can sometimes prove interesting. And by interesting, I mean “repair bill” and “love of all that’s Holy, just kill the dang flares!”
Last night was one [...]

WOW: Hallow’s End 2008 guide

Hallow’s End is scheduled to begin in a few hours, and you know we loves us some candy. There’s been a big change to the Achievement needed to get the “Hallowed” title (it’s actually gotten a lot easier), the Headless Horseman has a new loot table, and — well, it’s been a year since we’ve [...]

Shifting Perspectives: Moonkin in 3.02 and beyond, part 3

Ah, the glyph section. This is where things start to get a little hairy, because the bulk of arguing about the right balance DPS rotation hinges a lot on the glyphs you’ve got equipped and the type of fight you’re doing. But first, some of what I think are going to be less important glyphs [...]

Shifting Perspectives: Moonkin in 3.02 and beyond, part 2

New talents available in the Balance tree:

Genesis: This will affect three Balance spells (Insect Swarm, Moonfire, and Starfall), but it’s another prime candidate for a restokin, as most of a Restoration Druid’s healing power still lies in HoT’s. The vast majority of your firepower as a moonkin is still going to come from a rotation [...]

Shifting Perspectives: Moonkin in 3.02 and beyond

Every Tuesday, or possibly Thursday when the writer realizes that nobody writing about moonkin DPS on the internet agrees with each other, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week Allison Robert, having Hibernated John Patricelli and run away as fast as her laser-chicken legs will carry her, examines [...]
