  • Diablo 3: Fine Tuning Gear and Monster Power

    Recently, I managed to hit Paragon Level 20 on my demon hunter. Before that point I had been running Inferno with no Monster Power enabled. However, I decided within the past few days to start upgrading my demon hunter’s gear again after becoming frustrated with his lack of true high end DPS and survivability. I…

  • Diablo 3: Current Progress

    At the moment, I’ve been focused on my demon hunter, who is now Paragon level 18. I’m mostly using a glass cannon type of gearing and build. I’ve managed to balance my play style with the gear and talents so that I can do okay both solo and when I group up with my friend.…

  • Diablo 3: Experimentation with Gear as a Demon Hunter

    I decided to try another little investment in my demon hunter by grabbing more DPS gear. Mostly, I focused on critical hit chance, critical hit damage and attack speed. The net result was a significant reduction in effective hit points vs massive gain in damage. Just to see how I would fare, I decided to…

  • Diablo 3: Investing in the Real Money Auction House

    This article is NOT for hardcore players, kids nor people who don’t have real money. This article is aimed at casual game players who have hit a wall in Diablo 3 and are having a hard time progressing because of lack of skill, patience, time, etc. The thing I want to discuss is why investing…

  • Diablo 3: Monster Power vs Paragon Leveling vs Item Farming

    I’ve watched a few videos on using Monster Power for leveling. The mathematics essentially demonstrate the efficiency of using say MP1 as opposed to MP4 in terms of XP/hour. The justification is that higher monsters have greatly increased health, which takes longer to kill as opposed to the calculated amount of experience. So my theory…

  • World of Warcraft: Druid Now Has the 4 Piece Set

    I got lucky with two rolls tonight on my druid. One, which really isn’t as pertinent, is the Wrath of Unchaining trinket. Someday, I might attempt to gear as feral. Ironically, her feral gear actually is quite good and may make her a contender as a future bear tank. After completing LFR part 2 with…

  • World of Warcraft: Add My Rogue to the List

    On Sunday, my rogue hit level 85. Unfortunately, because it was kinda late, I did not have a chance to run through the entire HoT Heroics to build up enough Valor Points to get her throwing weapon nor procure enough gear to hit LFR. However, the good thing was that the reset occurred today so…

  • World of Warcraft: Why Altitis Is Not Necessarily A Bad Thing

    I’ve read how some people say you should just focus on a single class that fits your playing style. That might be fine but I think that’s like saying you should only be allowed to date within your own ethnicity. Hey, maybe you like fucking mannequins to help reduce the population growth in order to…

  • World of Warcraft: Last Minute Gearing with Valor Points in Patch 4.3

    I started gearing an Arcane Mage, making her my 8th 85 level toon. Since this is my 8th toon, I decided to write up a post for casual players that want to gear up their toons. In particular, I want to discuss how you can plan out your gearing process, partly with valor points and…

  • The New Plan (For World of Warcraft)

    So I guess my plan of staying away didn’t really pan out. But I managed to get my mage ready for the Hour of Twilight instances. In the meantime, I’ve been helping a friend gear up his Paladin by taking one of my better DPS geared toons and running with him. The idea is that…
