A quick trip into the Arena of Annihilation and a new weapon – only one that doesn’t raise the ilevel at all. Fun.

Pandaria Update
I haven’t blogged here in quite a while so I thought I would start off giving an update where all my characters are. On Aerie Peak, I have 3 90s – Melvyl, of course, because he was my primary focus on getting to 90. I have kind of given up on Holy for now – […]
A Missed Opportunity
I am sorry that I didn’t play either Melvyl or Aversa last night because the Retribution Paladin Bug sounds like fun. And, no, I don’t think I would have tried to solo the Lich King. What I did do… I haven’t played Aacr much since she got to 85. I had a bad experience healing […]
A Tale of Three Heroics
So, yesterday, I had some time and with the imminent approach of 4.3, I was trying to decide what to do with my valor points. I decided to pickup the Giantform Bracers. Only one problem – I didn’t quite have enough… I was going to have to run some Heroics. Now you may remember my […]
Tuning Cataclysm Heroics
For the first few months of Cataclysm, at least, there will have to be more of a focus on skill and execution than numbers. Switching targets properly, not breaking CC before it’s called for, and using your abilities at the right time will be rewarded. – Matthew Rossi So the question is, were Cataclysm Heroics tuned […]
The Ghosts of Dalaran
We have no plans to implement the old portals back in the game, but thank you for you reasons as to why they should. – Bashiok Well, at least he was nicer about it than the last time I read a portal thread. I was in a guild run of AQ last night (we did […]
Melvyl and the Bloodied Pyrium
So, like most people, I have been working on gearing up one of my characters. In my case, Melvyl, who I still consider “my main” hence the name I use here. My basic plan is to do what I did with 3.3 – gear him largely as Retribution, than take up healing when I am […]
500 Hours to Level Cap
I ran across this post recently, forgot where I saw it, and just found it again. First, read this: Early in World of Warcraft’s history the PlayOn blog made a census and determined that the average player took 21 days, or 500 hours to level to 60. But their latest count has people leveling to 70 in […]
The Hassle of Scheduling Play
What was the secret of Blizzard’s success? Most of the other MMORPGs (Everquest etc) require group play and rely on the hassle of scheduling play time together. – Paul Sams And how do they plan to sustain that now? World of Warcraft supports a lot of solo play. However, we want dungeons to be a […]
