Occasionally, people will do and say the darndest things. Things, in fact, that make you go “Hmmm” - or, more likely, things that make you go “WTF were they thinking?!” Here’s one I remember.
The background: pre-TBC, we used a DKP system for raiding, and we introduced a proviso that if you disappeared your DKP pool […]

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 […]

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 […]

I wrote this as a reply to a thread on the PTR forums where the original poster was complaining that you could buy T6 loot with BoJ. I felt it’d fit here as a general statement of my opinion, too.
The only real problem with having high-level loot accessible via badges of justice was that it […]

As you’ve probably seen eleswhere, much is being made of Drysc’s little comment that Patch 2.4 would include “BT-quality badge loot”.
I’m… torn.
On the one hand, yay. It’s always nice to have more avenues to gear up - and this makes it easier for endgame-clearing guilds to gear up rerolls and new recruits. Not that I’m […]

Just a quick post tonight, because I’m very tired and have been extremely busy for the last week:
Although I play a holy paladin by choice, I was really happy when 2.0 (and then TBC more so) made Protection a truly viable paladin spec, and I still get rather frustrated on behalf of my tanky brethren […]

Oh, it’s all so true…
Dwarfpriest has just posted Karazhan Bingo, the bingo card you can use to identify the point when your raid has reached total nubness.
I think I’ve seen every single one of these, at some point or other…

Since the new Blog Azeroth community is likely to bring a few readers from other servers around this way: my guild is currently recruiting!
We’re an Oceanic timezone guild on a medium-to-high-population US server - Proudmoore, one of the original launch servers - and we’re currently looking for a hunter, a warlock and a feral druid […]

My guild is coming to the end of our Christmas break period — wherein we restricted ourselves to more relaxed 10-mans, rather than full 25-man raids — and we’ve finished up with a bit of progression in Zul’Aman. Halazzi’s now solidly on farm, and we spent Monday night working on Jan’Alai, the Dragonhawk Avatar.
IMO the […]

Leafshine of Lust for Flower has posted New Year’s Resolutions for 2008, and it seems like the thing to do, so: herewith, my goals and hopes for WoW 08.

Get as far as possible in endgame raiding. ‘07 was a slow-paced year for my guild, raiding-wise; in ‘08, I’m hoping we can see and succeed in […]
