World of Warcraft: Why the Constant Changes for Classes in Each Patch?
Something that has frustrated me for the longest time is the moving target for classes in World of Warcraft. Obviously, this has gone on since the start of the expansion.

World of Warcraft: Is the Legendary Cloak Worth It?
In the upcoming 5.4 patch on the new Timeless Isle, there will be a new world boss that only people who have succeeded in obtaining the Legendary Cloak (meaning have completed the Legendary Quests for this expansion thus far) can access.

World of Warcraft: Random Thoughts, Stuff I’m Working On, etc.
This blog on World of Warcraft will be a hodge podge of random thoughts and things I’ve been working on recently.

World of Warcraft: More Patch 5.4 Speculation with Potential Spoilers
Someone on the forums mentioned that he managed to get into some pre-PTR testing of the 5.4 patch. It was a fairly interesting read as he told it from the alliance side of things to come. The main issue wasn’t the storyline specifically surrounding the alliance but the actual raid on Ogrimmar. Like anything, quite…

World of Warcraft: Re-using Legendaries from Mist of Pandaria
One of the most disappointing things at the moment is how the epic weapons and legendary gem that you spent months farming essentially turn out to be worthless the minute you acquire a better weapon from the Throne of Thunder. While it’s always exciting for new forms of loot to be found, I felt that…
