Blizzard’s recent Q&A regarding Warlocks (back at the start of July) raised some interesting questions about aesthetics. I haven’t gotten round to addressing this particular subject until now, but here we go. First, a bit of background… Most discussion surrounding Warlocks as we approach a patch revolves around DPS, nerfs and “what are they going [...]
I’m not one for complaining about bosses. Having said that I do get frustrated at wiping on one particular boss from time to time. But this, I feel, adds to the joy of finally defeating him (or her – nods to Maiden, Freya et al). BUT…and it is a big but…there are certain bosses where [...]
Guild recruitment and raid party make-up – two things I am struggling to get to grips with. I don’t want to invite any old player to the Guild but I know we need more. Not least so I can begin to put together set raid groups. That’s where raid party make-up comes in. What is [...]
Funny how things work out. One minute you’re a happy little soldier in a very large raiding Guild, the next you’re GM of a very small but committed progression Guild. So in this first episode of what I am now going to call Guild Drama I’ll explain how the hell it happened. As I said, [...]

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts over the last week or so, mainly as research but also because I enjoy listening to them. Just a quick rundown here with links at the bottom. Enjoy. There is one I have been listening to for over a year, World of Warcast. It’s a fantastic podcast [...]
Our usual 10-man Ulduar raid group has been tackling the instance for a while now and our wonderful mage Kaeden has begun making videos of our boss fights. The first three are up now over at YouTube. Please feel free to take a look: Coffee versus Flame Leviathan (with 2 Towers up) Coffee versus Razorscale [...]
