  • World of Warcraft: Playing the Windwalker Monk

    I leveled my pandaren monk from 71-80 today. It took a fair amount of time but at the same time the entire episode felt quick. It might take me anywhere between a week or two to get him to 90. However, I wanted to share my thoughts on this class thus far.

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: NPC Party Compositions

    I prefer multi-player play more than the single player option just because of being able to have the ability to customize my party, even if i merely choose to create a single character. However, after writing a few lengthy articles on customized party combinations, I decided to put some thoughts down on using a single…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Dual Class and Multi-Class Modification Wishes

    After the latest play through of Baldur’s Gate 2 and from writing my previous article on classes and party combinations, one thing I’ve come to realize is that you’re still somewhat limited on a few possibilities. Of course, the game introduces limits to provide a sense of balance but the balance introduced in Baldur’s Gate…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: More Class/Party Discussion

    I finished Shadows of Amn once again yesterday and began Throne of Bhaal but have made little progress thus far. The play through on my party consisted of a human kensai/mage, human undead hunter, half-elf ranger/cleric, Jaehira (half-elf fighter/druid), human wizard slayer/thief and elf fighter/mage. Mostly, I just powered my way through and did most…

  • World of Warcraft: Project 5.4 ilvl 500 Complete, Playing with Elemental Shaman

    I managed to finally hit an average ilvl of 500+ on all my main toons. In turn, my push to gear will slow down a bit. Of course, I still would like to get better gear for everyone but I feel less pressured to make such a huge push on all my toons since they’re…

  • World of Warcraft: Just Kill Boomkins Already

    I long stopped playing my druid as a Balance spec because she would get destroyed solo’ing and her single target damage was terrible. The only two saving graces were AoE situations where she could channel hurricane or multi-dotting where you would see 3+ foes up. I’m not a PVPer so I cannot tell you whether…

  • World of Warcraft: The Pros and Cons of Alt-A-Holicism

    As someone who has played RPGs for a long time, I’m someone who enjoys trying out different classes to see the difference in game play. In World of Warcraft, they call my style of play Alt-A-Holicism. Maybe some people stigmatize the idea of playing numerous alts, but it has its share of benefits as well…

  • World of Warcraft: Recent Tank Shortage in LFG/LFR?

    There’s an interesting hot topic on the Blizzard forums discussing how people are experiencing a general tank shortage in LFG/LFR. The real question is whether or not this is a current phenomenon or if this has been going on for some time.

  • World of Warcraft: Class Change Thoughts

    On the topic of class changes, I decided to write a post about somethings I wish were changed with classes/specs.

  • World of Warcraft: DPS Class/Spec Review for Patch 5.3

    Mike Preach has come up with some interesting videos discussing whether you should roll a certain class or not. I felt inspired by a lot of his commentary and wanted to throw my two cents into the mix by examining the DPS roles of classes and specs I’ve played in this expansion so far. Retribution…
