Heroic ToC for Dummies
Just like when Blizzard released Magister’s Terace at the end of Burning Crusade, the new 5 man instance Trial of the Champion seems to be giving some players a bit of trouble. I have been in groups where the problem has been the tank, and groups where it is the healer, and sometimes the overall dps is just too low. Whatever the problem is 99% of the time effective strategy and good knowledge of an encounter trump most deficiencies a group will bring. Since I have tanked this on my Warrior, healed it on my Priest, and dps’d it on both my DK and Priest I feel I have a fairly well rounded set of experience and knowledge involving ToC so I thought that instead of just writing this from a Shadow Priests point-of-view I’d give the full view. I don’t normally do this but I’m on a real kick lately about players learning what is required from the other classes in a fight so that they can see full scope of what is involved in encounter. Learning the jobs of other classes will make you a better player and better teammate. Read the rest of this entry »

Official Priest Q&A Released
The official Priest Q&A was released a few hours ago and surprisingly it seems to address most of the issues currently plaguing the Shadow tree. Don’t misunderstand though, there are very few solutions presented in this dialog and that might frustrate some people. However, addressing the issues that we have been hounding them with for months has scored Blizzard a few points in my book.
Some highlights of the Shadow part of the Q&A:
-They are looking into the “damage is increased while DoTs are active” talents, which they (and we) feel cause us to be handicapped in shorter fights where we don’t have the time to either apply DoTs or allow them to tick for any real value. Read the rest of this entry »

Summertime
As many of you have probably noticed by now, I am taking a short summer break from WoW. I still log on occasional to say hi and check the AH and such, but after raiding so hardcore for months trying to get hard modes down before 3.2 came out, I got a little burned out.
As to be expected when you have kids and other responsibilities outside of the game, I need to take a little time off to finish some things I have procrastinated on and spend some quality time with the fam. I still check the site daily and answer and questions asked of me so feel feel to email, comment, or Twitter me if you have any topics that you have questions or just want to discuss.
Just because I’m taking a break doesn’t mean I am not keeping up with everything or that I am not interested in WoW anymore.
Thanks for being understanding and I am sure I will be back posting in not too long.
