March 8, 2010

I updated my Spirit Beast resource page this evening and added Arcturis to the mix. There’s nothing on it that hasn’t already been covered in pasts posts, but it’s a handy quick reference for the important details. Namely, where to find them. I’ve included maps for each of the rare spirit beasties, all in one [...]

Linkage

March 7, 2010

Tonight I finally knocked out one of the tasks I’d been meaning to get to for months… a WoW links page. I’m sure I probably missed a couple sites, but the ones I mentioned are the few I have stored in my short term memory.
A links page is just one item on a [...]

Hit Rating

March 1, 2010

This is a topic I’ve covered many times in the past, but I feel compelled to revisit it today. Why, you ask..?
It’s been brought to my attention that many hunters these days are grossly exceeding the hit cap, and therefore are wasting precious DPS. I figure this is due to a few reasons…

The misunderstanding of [...]

More Stable Slots..?

February 26, 2010

Perhaps.
In the Blizz Developer’s Blizzchat on Twitter today, one of the questions raised was the ever so popular topic of adding more stable slots. The response was both interesting and favorable.
Q. Are hunters likely to see more stable slots for their pets in the future? With the current variety of pets, the amount [...]

WoW’s Been Uninstalled

February 17, 2010

…and now I’m reinstalling it.

Did I freak you out there for a second?
Due to some performance issues, spotty lockups and crashes, I decided to trash my WoW folder and start anew. I’ve had to restore the game files 4 times over the past year and a half due to HD failures I’d [...]

See you next week

February 13, 2010

I’ll be away from the internets for a few days while my wife, son and I road trip it up to Northern California to visit her family. I’ve got lots of WoW related topics on my mind, a *gasp* new UI I’m working on, and a 2K+ word BM PvP post I wrote about 2 [...]
