WoW

Fall of the Lich King, the latest World of Warcraft content update, is now live! The heroes of the Horde and the Alliance have faced unimaginable horrors and suffered terrible losses in their desperate struggle against the Scourge. Now the time has come to break through the fortified gates of Icecrown Citadel and confront the Lich King in the frozen heart of his domain. Follow Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner through the Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection in an attempt to subvert the Lich King's army in a new multi-wing 5-player dungeon. Join the Ashen Verdict as they charge through the citadel's main gate to take on the Scourge's most powerful leaders and fearsome monstrosities in a new 10- and 25-player raid.

Show everyone in Azeroth that you're serious about account security with man's (and orc's) best friend! Beginning today, any World of Warcraft player who protects his or her Battle.net account using either a Blizzard Authenticator or the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator will get their very own in-game Core Hound Pup, a fiery and feisty guard-dog pet.

What can be better than fresh-baked cookies or cakes? Cookies, cakes, and scrumptious desserts created with care to represent elements of the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo universes, of course! We're holding our Blizzard Holiday Dessert contest again and calling out all those talented bakers and pastry chefs to get out their flour, sugar, and rolling pins to create something amazing to tantalize the eye.

As the threats within Icecrown Citadel continue to take shape, so do the rewards for the brave souls who seek to face them. We’ve just released a first look at some of the new tier-10 armor sets that will be available to intrepid adventurers upon the release of the Icecrown Citadel raid dungeon. The preview contains all of the sets that we’ve completed so far, and you can click an image to see each set from different angles. We’ll add more classes’ sets as we continue to develop and polish them, so be sure to check back for updates.

A Blizzard employee messages me!  SQUEEEE!

Here I am, minding my own business, and I get a message out of the blue by non other then “Blizzjoyce” who also happens to be a level 1 orc warrior by the way.  Here is the very important message she had to deliver word for engrish word (punctuation placement painstaking preserved…say that 4x fast).

1 There is always someone running late for the Raid  Train.

2. In the mornings there is a boss at the end of the run.

3. You have to clear through trash mobs to get in the door.

4. If your lucky a seat might drop.

5. You need to avoid standing/sitting  in bad stuff

6. There may be a Heat debuff ( no Aircon in summer)  or a Raid wide Frost debuff ( Air con wayyyy to high )

Cozmo from GTFOOTF pointed out that so many of us bloggers are playing Wow in some new or different way to maintain our motivations to keep playing,   and speaking to Kiwired from One of these Alts who has rolled even more Alts with SAN  – how SAN  ( Single Abstract Noun )  has come about at the right time for him to fill in the gaps between now and the expansion.

I told a LFG Random group  in party chat that if they wanted to kick the whiney ass healer in a random I was DPSing on my Shadow Priest in, that I would quite happily heal for them.

“You think I need badges”   Scoffs the druid who had been rousing on the tank. 

“Omg Guys..   The tank doesn’t even have offspec”

“Omg Tank .. Hold agro much…”

“He is doing fine” I said. ( and he was)

Healer pee’d ed me off. So I left group.   Yeah was not in the mood to be pee’d off.

Log off, to wait for my debuff to fall off, and

Enter My Holy Priest healing  a Random LFG

Me: to Dps Pally :  Did you know your missing a talent point.

Dps Pally:  Yes.

Me to Dps Pally: and that your also completely in tanking gear.

Right all wrong -  we all seem to have this  < 2k dps in a Northrend Dungeon and you fail  – which for the most is true.

Sometimes I struggle to reach that when I am running in a overgeared group when stuff just dies so quick.

Most of my circumstantial rotations start with dots – If there is enough time for me to stick dots up, maybe some mindsearing, and single target  then I am going to do awesome on actually dps measurement, and either come 1st or 2nd in the party , but well geared Aoe tanks – and 1 or 2 burst Dps in the party,  and I’m last.

So the real dps measurement when stuff is dying quick is not how much damage I can actually do,  but how much damage I can beat other classes to doing.  Eg I’m more likely to stick one dot on them,  Shadow Word Death / Mindblast on cool down, and mindsear where practical.  No point sticking dots on them if they are taking 5 seconds to die.
