I’ve just hit 70 with another alt, my night elf priest Siha. She’s currently a Holy DPS spec, running a Surge of Light/Imp Divine Spirit build (32/29/0) which allows her to do reasonable DPS and still contribute good healing if we’re short on healers.
Of course, gearing up an alt at maximum speed is always […]

This one’s going around the blogosphere lately, so here’s my quick guide to raiding consumables for holy paladins. (Bellwether covered the same issue for resto druids, and Big Bear Butt for feral tanks; I’m sure there will be more coming soon.)
Two things to note:

I’m recommending consumables that give you a good balance of stats, where […]

(aka the WoW Trading Card Game Loot Guide)
There are a number of fun vanity items in the game that you can’t actually get in the game, and I often see questions about how you get them.
The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game is published by Upper Deck Entertainment, in collaboration with Blizzard. It’s a […]

Proudmoore just opened up the new badge vendor. Two hundred badges later, I am now the proud owner of a new [Ecclesiastical Cuirass] for my spell crit set, and [Greaves of Pacification] for my mana regen set. Hooray!

As I just mentioned, I picked up the [Vial of the Sunwell] last night in Heroic Magister’s Terrace, and I’ve been trying to assess its value.
A brief attack of theorycrafting (hello, Excel spreadsheets) later, and here’s what we’ve got:
Assumptions

Healer is a paladin
Healer uses approximately 75% Flash of Lights and 25% Holy Lights
Healer is chain-casting
Trinket is […]

Thanks to Magister’s Terrace and the new Shattered Sun faction rewards, I’ve picked up the following in the last week:

[Vial of the Sunwell]
[Figurine - Seaspray Albatross]
[Redeemer’s Alchemist Stone] (well, actually, I’ll be crafting this tonight when I hit Exalted)

Very shiny, very epic. Given that they’re leaps and bounds better than my existing trinkets (which hadn’t […]

As some of you may have worked out already, I’m something of a tabardaholic.
Cue the latest addition to my collection!

The Keepers of Time Tabard has existed in the game files for a while; in an undocumented patch addition, it was implemented in patch 2.4. It’s available from Alurmi, the KoT Quartermaster, at Exalted reputation […]

I’ve never been one of those hybrids who changes spec at the drop of a hat to meet the needs of a group; I change specs once every few months at most, agonising over the placement of every talent point. Regardless of my championing of the “hybrids should be able to perform all their roles”, […]

Healing trinkets can often be difficult to analyse, because they offer stats and effects that you don’t typically find on other items. MK of A Dwarf Priest said it best: “you should carry multiple trinkets and select based on your needs for the given encounter.”. That’s an excellent post analysing healing trinkets, incidentally, and I […]

I apologise for the lack of tasty content over the last few days; I’ve been extremely tired, and doing the bare minimum.
This is something I’d been talking about with a friend lately anyway, so when I saw Anna of Too Many Annas blogging about what she packs for a raid, I thought I’d join in!
Here’s […]
