Each week Arcane Brilliance examines the magical majesty of Mages, and usually makes fun of the wimpy whininess of Warlocks. See that? That’s some crazy alliteration right there. Also, I’d like to call attention to the fact that Arcane Brilliance called Warlocks whiny. Oh, snap! Coming from a column about Mages, that has to burn, [...]
An unidentified reader wrote to WoW Insider explaning that while he is in a raiding guild, his life schedule does not allow him to raid. He feels he’s being left behind as groups ask for higher DPS.
What practical advice is there for progressing in the game while being a player with RL obligations?
First off, [...]
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.
– Firefly, “Shindig.”
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 [...]
Welcome to Lichborne, your weekly dose of Death Knight discussion.
Now that we’ve covered most standard pemutations of gear gathering in past Lichborne columns, I figured this week would be a good time to start talking about taking the extra steps to really trick out your gear. This week, will focus on gems. Not only will [...]
Each week Arcane Brilliance drops at a 100% rate from your computer screen. It can be equipped in any slot, and doesn’t bind to your character in any way, shape or form. It can be disenchanted into whatever you want, and sells to merchants for a million gold. It is of legendary quality. When equipped, [...]
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 [...]
I tried to find some great caster/healing staves for you to work towards this weekend, but they’re hard to come by, and strangely enough I couldn’t find a single caster staff as a reputation reward — Druids get all the good ones I found. This one’s from an instance you can run this weekend, though, [...]
Since day one of Wrath of the Lich King, people have been rolling Death Knights. While many seem to be getting along just great, many others are in need of guidance.
This will be a two-part article, and will focus on the things that you will need to know when working with others in a dungeon [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! You didn’t think Scattered Shots was taking the day off, did you? Hopefully, there’s enough of you who aren’t completely zonked out on turkey, ham, or beef to read this.
So by now, I figure most of you are well on your way to 80, and are probably starting to ask yourself: Which [...]
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 [...]
