I have been invited to guest blog over at Old Crafty. Check it out, looks like it could be quite an interesting blog, and one with some strong opinions. I’ll be sitting in as Warlock ‘expert’ – yeah, I’m no theorycrafter, but I do know my ‘lock. First post is up, filling in the background [...]

 
Horde Raids Blizzard HQ

Horde raids Blizzard Headquarters I get the idea it might be quite fun to work at Blizzard…

 

Out of sheer boredom myself and three friends decided to tease Stormwind. First it was just ganking any low levels that happened to wander in and out. Then it was taking out the odd 80 that showed up to see what was going on. But then we had an idea… If we got far enough [...]

Spotted on a Guild website: What does that even mean? Who came up with this guild name? I mean the initials are ED… not something you’d impress a girl with… come to think of it, “I play WoW” isn’t away to impress a girl anyway. Actually, I was at a bar once, talking about WoW. [...]

 

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that the value of the Outfitter (and similar) addon might just increase with the advent of dual speccing. I may have got ahead of myself. I certainly didn’t read the entire patch notes! This, from Blizzard: “A new Gear Manager feature has been added. Players will now be [...]

 
champion of the frozen wastes

A good night’s work here. Malygos 10 downed to earn my Frozen Wastes title, but more importantly the Greatstaff of the Nexus dropped – and I won it! Check me out!

 

With 3.1 comes dual speccing – at a pretty hefty cost, however. What is it? Once you paid for the dual speccing….’talent’, I suppose I’d better call it, you will be able to switch between two different talent specifications at the click of a button. The ‘talent’ will also switch your chosen glyphs and action [...]

 

So the patch notes are out and despite the fact they are, as ever at this early stage, very much provisional, let’s take a look at those affecting the warlock, shall we. Affliction Skills Curse of Elements Rank 5 now increases spell damage taken by the target by 13% (Previously 10%) Curse of Recklessness has [...]

 
Oh, it's such a grind!

What are we talking about? Reputation. There are those you will gain exalted in just be playing the game, doing the quests and following the paths down which you are led. HOWEVER! There are those you have to spend HOURS on. This is Blizzard’s time sink, their way of keeping you playing long past a [...]

 
Tired of the Achievement grind? Fast track it!

Spotted this on Twitter from @WoWInsider: Basically, if you just can’t be bothered to chase down that last part required to get an Achievement done, or if you feel there’s a particular part of World of Warcraft that deserves an Achievement (personally I think getting to 450 in all professions and skills deserves one) then [...]

 

A word of advice – don’t try and do this in one day. UNLESS…you’re doing it right after a server restart.  It’s extremely time consuming and very annoying. After six hours I only have two books.

 
World Events & Achievements

So the Lunar Festival came to a close this month and we had the Love is in the Air event too. For all those who got the Elder title, congratulations. I couldn’t be bothered with all that running around and dungeon running so I missed out on that one. However, I DID get the “Love [...]
