How I’m spending my Emblems of Frost

I’m pretty excited because I should get my four piece this Tuesday!  I’m hoping the jumping rejuvenation turns out to be a really good thing, but I guess all the theory crafting in the world doesn’t do as much good as seeing it in action during one night of raiding! I have to say, I [...]

Blood Prince Council

Last night I got to do Blood Prince Council not once, not twice, but three times!  I did it on 10 and 25 with my druid, and again on 25 in our alt run on my little shaman.  I have to say, it’s one of those fights that just seems to “click”… kind of like [...]

Druid 101 – Spec & Talents

I’ve honestly never been a big fan of sites that tell you how to spec your character, but this little website of mine is starting to get more popular and I’m getting a lot of questions about “How should I spec for Raids” or “Why did you choose this talent” so I figured it was [...]

Rotface – Dances with Oozes

After downing Festergut we decided that we really really wanted to get this Dances with Oozes achievement the first week on Rotface.  We messed with a couple of different strategies on a couple of nights before finally deciding on one that seemed to work the best for our group.  Also… I do know what you’re [...]

Festergut – Flu Shot Shortage

Well, as you all know a new wing in ICC opened up a couple days ago.  The goal of our 10 man has been to really push ourselves and try to stay on top of the achievements, getting them done as soon as possible.  Having done Festergut earlier in the evening on 25 man we [...]

Full House Achievement

Well, tonight we did the Full House achievement in our 10 man.  Basically… what we did was burn down Lady Deathwhisper’s shield to about 5%.  This allows us to quickly get into phase 2 once we have the desired adds.  Then we sorted though the adds, killing the duplicates, and keeping the unique ones.  Once we had [...]

You, Haste, and 3.3

With the changes to Gift of the Earthmother, we have to work a little harder to cap off our global cooldown (GCD).  Having raided for a whole two days as not soft haste capped, I have to say… I needed a change.  So…. in addition to obviously having GotEM, I now also have three click into Celestial Focus [...]

3.3 So Far…

Well it’s been less than 24 hours since I first logged in to 3.3, but here are my early impressions   Icecrown Citadel- Ok I mentioned this last night, but I’ll just reiterate…. its sorta…. easy.  Ok, I know that the hard mode won’t be as easy, and that’s great.  But you know, when you can come [...]

New Dungeons and Raids New Cross-Realm LFG system Making a new Level 1 Druid, you won’t start with attack on your bar Rebirth: The cooldown on this spell has been [...]

Ode to a Sexy Staff

When ToC first came out, I remember making a forum post saying that if I get nothing else, I really really really wanted Clemency.  I’ve said before that I tend to prefer the stats on a staff over the slightly more healing you usually get from a main hand / off hand, but like the rest [...]
