World of Warcraft: Gearing My Hunter
After finding the boomkin to be a terrible 2nd character to gear, I ended up switching to my hunter, whom I’ve found much better over to solo play and handle. It hasn’t been easy up to this point as I had to start really looking into the Beastmaster game play. The rotation definitely has become…

World of Warcraft: How to Manage Alts in Mist of Pandaria
It’s been said that Mist of Pandaria is not alt friendly. Most of that involves the gearing aspect due to certain content walls like reputation, low Valor Point rewards and the large number of dailies. In the end, the issue ends up being time (or lack thereof) when it comes to playing each of your…

World of Warcraft: Retribution Paladin Now Epic
Last night was a good night in that I managed to obtain three epic items. Two from LFR and one from Valor Points at the Dominance Offensive quartermaster. The main item that made me happy to receive was a long overdue belt. I had been stuck with a 450 belt for the longest time and…

Diablo 3: Tempest Rush Monk Rules!
Finally, I hit level 60 on my monk while playing with some friends. Upon hitting 60, I spend around 12 million gold on gear to get a reasonable amount of spirit regeneration, which is required to handle the Tempest Rush build. Left me with just over a million gold left, but I have to say…

World of Warcraft: Hit 90 on Druid
Finally, after not bothering with my druid for the longest time, I managed to get her to 90. It was a painful process. When you get out of the grove of leveling, it takes quite a bit to push your back into place. You feel overwhelmed or that there’s no light at the end of…

World of Warcraft: How I’m Spending Valor Points
Right now, we’re into patch 5.1. Not a particularly great patch as we’re anticipating 5.2, which is going to have a new raid, more world bosses and yet even more daily quests. The big thing to keep in mind with patch 5.2 coming up is that LFR will require ilvl 486 gear. For those doing…

Diablo 3: Balancing Paragon Levels, Making Gold, Gearing and Keys
It’s well documented that the most efficient route for doing Paragon levels is the Alkaizer method. Essentially, you’re running Act 3 Inferno on low monster powers (or none at all) over and over. To make it efficient as possible, you’re not supposed to pick up any loot. Of course, this tactic is primarily for whirlwind…
