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 [...]

Only 14 runs

February 9, 2010

I guess that’s not too bad. Looking at my armory I was surprised to see it was only my 14th time in heroic Forge of Souls. I thought for sure I’d been there at least 20 times or more looking for this trinket.
It’s no Deathbringer’s Will, but I’ll take it. Considering I’m still rocking Mirror [...]

Hunter Basics: Explosive Shot

February 8, 2010

Explosive Shot is the signature ability of the survival tree. However, I often find that many hunters are unaware of how and when to properly use it, especially in the event of a Lock and Load proc.
Until Kill Shot becomes available (once the kill target is at or below 20% health), Explosive Shot is the [...]

New epic loot dispenser in VoA

February 3, 2010

Meet the latest Vault of Archavon loot Piñata, Toravon the Ice Watcher. If you beat on him long enough he’ll drop some ilvl264+ gear, and maybe even an epic mount. Unlike the other 3 bosses in VoA, Toravon only drops 3 pieces of epic loot, but who can complain..?
If you haven’t yet attempted this boss, [...]

Deathbringer’s Will

February 3, 2010

Greetings again all you intrepid hunters. With your permission I’ll be sidestepping my usual exotic hunter tanking topics to discuss the much more mainstream subject of hunter DPS. The focus of today’s journey is a little toy I managed to snag a couple weeks ago, the trinket, Deathbringer’s Will.
For those of you in the know, [...]

Back on task

February 3, 2010

My 3 week absence from posting is officially over. I didn’t intend to drop the things like that, but well… s**t happens.
I got behind in all facets of life and work earlier last month, which was then exacerbated by the website troubles I’d experienced. After putting WoW on hold for about a week, I came [...]

So… Why didn’t I get a raid invite?

January 20, 2010

As a raid leader, part of my job is to choose who comes on a raid and who sits in Dalaran waiting in the random heroic PuG queue.
At first glance, this sounds like a glamorous job that everyone should aspire to in the game of WoW. I almost always get to go on the raid. [...]

Beast Mastery PvP Spec Redux

January 13, 2010

So last you heard from me, I was getting ready to try out a Core Hound for use in arena. To bring some of you up to speed, my only arena team this past season has been a 2v2 with a Ret Paladin. I like 2v2 because it only requires one other person, and in [...]

So yea…

January 12, 2010

I’m a little more than pissed at the moment. Those of you that stopped by the site earlier today may have noticed that it was either down or not looking like its normal self. This was because there’s been a fox in the hen house.
I’m not entirely certain how this happened, but I have a [...]
