  • World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong

    Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…

  • Diablo 3: Expansion Supposedly Announced and Thoughts

    Supposedly, the Diablo 3 expansion had been announced. Part of the expansion will apparently mark the return of Jay Wilson since Blizzard’s Titan title will be delayed. Originally, I heard the rumor/announcement on Kripparian’s youtube channel and he offered some thoughts on what the game ought to be. The main thing he wanted was a…

  • 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: Pushing Forward on the Death Knight

    I went through the pre-Throne of Thunder LFRs on my Death Knight since I really wanted to finish up the legendary gem quest and get a few extra pieces of gear. It started off as a somewhat weird day since I went from the easier ones to the harder ones, mostly focusing on blood spec…

  • World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 2 Simple Tactics

    Right now, I’ve started to farm part 1 and part 2 as I find them relatively easy compared to the rest of the raid. So I’d like to offer you my experience as a casual player for part 2 as a DPS class. Tortos The first fight will be Tortos. This is essentially the Super…

  • World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 1 Simple Tactics for DPS

    Right now, I feel quite comfortable in discussing simple tactics in handling the LFR version for Throne of Thunder’s part 1 wing. I’ve read tactics over on WoWHead but some of the write ups for the LFR strategies tend to feel out of date compared to what you may encounter in LFR at the moment.…

  • 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…

  • World of Warcraft: Which Classes to Stay Away From as a New Player

    In my previous blog, I wrote up a summary of why I felt ranged classes made for a good starting point for new players. Here, I wanted to contrast that idea with classes that you may want to stay away from as a new player. Generally speaking, I advise new players to avoid healing. Healing…

  • World of Warcraft: More Progress in Patch 5.3 for Me

    The past week or so I’ve been really hitting LFR and certain daily hubs hard to boost my toons as much as possible. I started to farm Throne of Thunder parts 1 and 2 now that I’ve become quite comfortable with the fights. Part 3 I’ve only done twice and still find it a little…

  • World of Warcraft: Best Starting Class/Role

    World of Warcraft certainly has changed since I first started. The game has become a hundred times simpler in terms of all the different aspects you had to manage about your character. Also, questing and dealing with most mobs are no longer as problematic because of the clean up of old areas and making mobs…
