What a great year 2008 has been for Paladins. While 3.0 overhauled the game in general, the class was retooled throughout the year, particularly Retribution, and became one of the most fun classes to play. In fact, Paladin popularity, while never a problem, rose incredibly. Even as I mourn the decline of Warlocks, I shudder at all the Paladins [...]

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider’s daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft.
Good afternoon, WoW Insider! I have nothing useful to say in my preface today, because I need to go put my new power supply and video card in my PC so I can [...]

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider’s daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft.
It’s Friday, the second best day of the week, in stark contrast to Wednesday which was the worst day of the week. What is the number one best day of the week? Well, [...]

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider’s daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft.

Yesterday the topic of profession daily quests came up, and there was a little confusion around it. The way the question was phrased combined with how my response was phrased made it sound [...]

A lot of hints and news on the upcoming patch 3.0.4 have been dropped on the forums recently, so like other WoW Insider writers have mentioned on and off, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw it on the PTR in the coming weeks. Before we get ahead of ourselves too much though, there was [...]

Did you pack well enough for the cold? Allie gave great advice on some basic things we need while we’re in Northrend, like food and other consumables. Depending on your level of progression or gear, your approach to questing or leveling out here will vary quite a bit. For well-geared players, it’ll be a breeze [...]

Unfortunately we ran out of time in our Care and Feeding of Warriors series on gear for Wrath of the Lich King ;ast week, just as we were about to cover the weapons to be looking to acquire. This week, post launch, here’s a concise list of blues to be had in the 70 to [...]

Over the last two days, the WoW Insider team has been busy reviewing and gathering all of the still-current class information to bring you up to speed for your first steps into Northrend. You’ve probably had a chance to get a handle on your class since most of the changes were pushed through in patch [...]

Wrath of the Lich King. It’s here. You’re ready. At least, you think you’re ready. You recall the last time we all went off to a new place to kick some butt, some guy said something about not being prepared, and you don’t want to be unprepared. So let’s go over all the coverage we’ve [...]

The Burning Crusade is effectively over.
If there’s anything you were intending to do that you haven’t done yet for one reason or another… killing Kil’Jaeden, perhaps, or maybe something simple like finally picking up that Shard of Contempt that’s been refusing to drop for you… you’ve got six days before Wrath of the Lich King [...]

If you are a fury warrior, rejoice. Some of you were wondering where I was during the initial discussion. Frankly, I I was bodily assumed into what I can only assume was heaven. Sorry about that. Turns out it’s really nice. I honestly don’t have a real lot to say on this score (amazingly) aside [...]

Welcome back to The Care and Feeding of Warriors. The carnage you see above you is the entire Scarlet Monastery Cathedral (and all the mobs before it, too!) except for the ones who died before we got this far. (I stole this idea shamelessly from a commenter named Brian Arnold.The video he linked is pretty [...]

It’s a sweet time to be a Tankadin. I know that AoE tanking is no longer the exclusive domain of Paladins, but that’s cool. With the changes to the way tanking works now, tanks generally generate threat by dishing out more damage… and boy does a Protection Paladin deal damage. Because Protection is the tanking [...]

Do you like it when people hurt themselves trying to hurt you? Sure, we all do! And Damage Shield makes sure that’s exactly what happens. A simple, beautiful, long needed change for warrior tanking, Damage Shield inflicts damage on anyone who hits you with a melee attack, or anyone who you block in melee. This [...]
