Pugnacious Pally
I’ve decided to play and gear up my Paladin a bit. Don’t be alarmed.. my first love is all things Warlockery.. but sometimes the group just needs a healer.. and I feel bad having one.. but not having her properly geared. Wednesday night I shuffled her gear around and made sure I ...

Rawr! I’m a tank!
At the moment (patch 3.2.2) Deep Destruction is the acknowledged “best” Warlock DPS spec. I know this, you know this, we all get it. I’ve got it as my off-spec but haven’t seen the uber numbers with it so I continue to play as Affliction. A few days ago I wandered over ...

Through a keyhole darkly
While listening to Rawrcast I heard Stomp say that she’s “grinding exalted with the running circles in Dalaran boss”. I’m aware of that boss. I know of people who do that.. they hang out in Dalaran waiting for someone to pick them up from LFG so they can “have ...

Getting in touch with my inner druid
My baby druid is now level 56. I keep hoping the more I play her that I’ll come up with a compelling reason to level her. I think at this point I’m leveling her because I want to fly like a birdie.. and because I’m fascinated by the -idea- of a druid. I like the concept of ...

The Little Things
There are 1,001 HUGE things the Blizz could implement. I get dazzled just thinking about things like Guild Housing, Path of the Titans, Guild leveling and such. But sometimes.. I wish they’d just implement some little things from my want list. They’re not huge.. they’re just.. ...

Something Strange in Stranglethorn
Remember back.. during Blizzcon.. when all the changes were announced? They never mentioned Stranglethorn. Not once. I assumed that’s because it was on the other continent from where Deathwing was coming up out of the ground that he just kind of missed it. Remember back.. shortly after ...

“You are standing in an Inn”
“You are standing in an Inn”
chicanery.fibergeek.com — Once upon a time I played D&D (it was in college.. everyone was doing it). I think I played a ranger. I like bows and shooting things from range.

“Carry Me!!!”
Meet Bob. Bob has a new toon who just turned 80. Bob’s new toon is wearing a smattering of greens and level 74 gear. To Bob it seems silly to enchant/gem his crappy green gear. Bob is in a social casual guild. Bob’s guild is currently raiding ToC and making progress through Ulduar. ...

Home is where you set your Hearthstone

Immutables
Well, it’s official, Paid Race Change is now live. At this point, the only immutable choice at the time of character creation is Class. Everything else can be changed/fiddled/fixed. Fundamentally I’m ok with that. I’m not planning to take advantage of the service. If I ...

In which the role of huntard will be played by Nib
Last night, after a sucessful ToC-10 (where every boss dropped +hit cloth and I was the only DPS clothie in the raid)(poor me) and a sucky Ony-25 (we experienced failure to tank and wiped repeatedly), finally I logged onto my baby hunter and helped a level-appropriate guildie group run Ramparts ...
