  • World of Warcraft: Burdens of Eternity Usage

    I’m not a huge fan of the BoA gear that drops on the Timeless Isle. I find that most of the gear to have bad stats overall and occasionally being exceptionally misplaced, even if you have the correct spec picked. For instance, my warrior received equipment that contained haste as the only secondary stat. That…

  • World of Warcraft: Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Part 1 DPS Guide

    Since I’ve done Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Part 1 now roughly 8 times on several toons, I decided to write up my experiences as a DPS, both ranged and melee, on how I handled each fight. I will cover Part 2 once I have more experience, although I think I have a pretty good handle…

  • World of Warcraft: Siege of Orgrimmar LFR Current Assessment

    I just got through Siege of Orgrimmar part 2 on LFR with my hunter. It really wasn’t a walk in the park. Many of the forum posts indicated that part 2 was a horror show and practically the whole thing was a nightmare. And it’s a nightmare described accurately in those forum posts.

  • World of Warcraft: Flex vs LFR

    My friend’s guild has invited me to several Flex raids in the Siege of Orgrimmar. So far, we managed to get down 7/8 and will be doing Nazgrim next Monday. I’m pretty excited. The guys have been a lot of fun and it’s been a great learning experience. I only tried the first part of…

  • World of Warcraft: Scumbagging the Timeless Isle for Profit

    I touched briefly on the Timeless Isle in a previous post. But I think I have enough of an idea of how to make the Timeless Isle work for the casual player, who is looking to solo the place and is on their own time schedule. In short, you really don’t feel like grouping up…

  • World of Warcraft: Patch 5.4 Thoughts Day Two

    Thus far, I’ve only been able to do the Timeless Isle and Throne of Thunder with regards to patch 5.4 so this view might be slightly tainted. I have viewed various streams containing the new Siege of Orgrimmar and have heard how Flex Raiding has gone. So with that in mind, I’m going to offer…

  • World of Warcraft: Where Blizzard Gets it Right

    I’ve been hearing about the restrictions surrounding Final Fantasy 14 and someone I learned how someone I’ve occasionally played World of Warcraft with ended up getting banned for streaming the game to a private set of users. Apparently, even a private stream broke the NDA. But today I heard that the game has further streaming…

  • Game Design: More MMORPG Ideas

    Yesterday, the NDA for Final Fantasy 14 was lifted and I was able to check out Yoni’s stream where she showed how the game operates. Although PVP and end game content are unknowns at this point, the basics of an MMORPG exist where the differences outside of the lore/world are in multi-classing. However, we discussed…

  • World of Warcraft: Taking Another Break Until Patch 5.4

    It’s that time again where I’m feeling the need to step away from World of Warcraft for a few weeks to get my life straightened out a little. But in reality I’m somewhat frustrated with the game. Most of what I do is LFR but it’s just a tedious grind at this point that lacks…

  • World of Warcraft: Pet Battles, Power Leveling Pets and Lesser Charm Farming

    A friend of mine provided an invaluable tip that I should’ve done earlier where you take a pet (preferably an aquatic pet like a Strand Crawler), level him to 25 and then power level your other pets using your main as a kind of invincible tank. The Strand Crawler in particular is quite strong in…
