On Sunday, I was invited to two different PUGs, who asked me just about the same question. Both reacted in somewhat the same manner, but how they chose to go about expressing it and they’re actions that followed greatly differed. The first PUG was one for Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle. They needed a ...

Gear vs. Skill
WoW.com —
... Bell over at 4 Haelz made an interesting post about gear and skill. She relates several experiences where, looking for group, players ask for her 'stats' and grill her further upon finding out that she's on the low end of the spectrum numbers-wise. Sometimes, those players don't invite her or, worse, log off from their party without even giving her a chance to prove herself. But there's a flip side, too, and Bell tells of running Heroic Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom with a tank who gave her a chance. That story ends well and a ...

Gear
iamapaladin.blogspot.com 3/12/2009 — It's sort of funny how much things change. I mean if you think about it, our character never really changes in physical looks unless you pay for it. What we wind up working for in WoW is for the pretty skin that the clothes, ie gear, our character wears in game. Sure said gear has pretty stats ...
Weapon skill
rrvs.blogspot.com 10/18/2009 — Ah, such a frustrating mechanic. Back in the "old" days where it was still a desirable skill for melee classes it at least made some amount of sense to have to raise it manually. Having +5 or +10 extra weapon skill on top of the base 300 meant that you ended up with a LOT less glancing blows. ...

What’s you Mage good at?
gnomeaggedon.net 5/25/2009 — What’s your defining skill, why and what are your tips?
I don’t necessarily mean your class defining skill, I mean what one skill that is related to your character do you do the best?
Before you give me the ones that you are worst at as well, leave that for another day… ...
Skill Mastery: Mirror Image
wowinsider.com 9/8/2008 —
This is so going to be nerfed. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be negative, but holy cow. For thirty seconds, this spell makes you a God. Here's what Mirror Image does: When used, it instantly conjures three copies of the Mage that cast it. These ...
Skill Mastery: Mind Sear
wowinsider.com 10/1/2008 —
Mind Sear , one of the new baseline abilities for Priests in Wrath of the Lich King , is an unusual beast. It's a Shadow-based AOE spell, which is fantastic, but it's a little trickier to use than we might like. It looks super cool, so that makes ...
Gear Problems
omenscourge.blogspot.com 3/12/2009 — Sooner or later everyone realizes one or two pieces of gear are in need of serious upgrade. For me, it is my tanking shoulders and tanking cloak. Currently I'm sporting the Pauldrons of Reconnaissance from Halls of Stone. I've been wearing these to tank with since late November. My upgrade ...
Skill Mastery: Guardian Spirit
wowinsider.com 9/24/2008 —
I wanted to write about this intriguing new Priest ability earlier, but I felt to do so without testing it and using it in a raiding environment would have been pointless. Important update : According to this blue post , Guardian Spirit has had ...
What’s your Mage bad at?
gnomeaggedon.net 5/26/2009 — Ok so we discussed your personal best skill yesterday (yours rather than your classes defining skill).
Today we look at your worst.
Once again, we aren’t talking about worst skill per se (someone say wand specialization?), rather your application of a skill or technique that leaves ...
