GearScore - the new 'Achievement'

Remember this? “LFM Uld /w Achievement” Well now it’s been replaced with this: “LFM ICC10 /w GearScore” “LFM ICC25 5.2k gs only” “LFM weekly raid. /w gs and achievement” In some ways it is slightly fairer. When idiotic raid leaders wouldn’t let you join a raid because you didn’t have the Achievement I could only [...]

Lately I’ve been changing Guild’s quite a lot. I think I’ve had four in two months. I ended up in a nice 25 man raiding Guild with a few WoW friends and we did well. It was led by a strong core of raiders and I tagged along in my usual capacity of non-idiot, fast [...]

 
ALTernative Universe

The thing that makes World of Warcraft so enduring – playability, diversity and sheer size aside – is the ability to have more than one character. We all, I would think, have what we consider our mains. In my case, it is, of course, my Undead Warlock, Inoperante. He is my raiding and achievement toon [...]

 

I wasn’t there…but I’m proud of my premier raiding team.

 
Vent: Your frustration

Well, maybe not your frustration…but mine. Last night I tanked Trial of the Crusade (10-man) for the first time on my warrior. It really brought home the importance of Ventrilo (or Teamspeak if that is your thing). We began with me and a new-ish Paladin tank and it did not go well. Why? Well, our [...]

 

Getting this title has been an ambition for a while. Trying to do it the ‘traditional’ way always proved impossible. So why not just walk in, clear trash and then nuke Sartharion down, using only one tank, one healer and eight DPS? ZERG! It works, try it…

 

And thanks to our dead mage, we have a video!

Or Kaeden gets bored wanding… Gratz all. Yogg-Saron…here we come.

 
Of all the bosses in all the world...

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 Drama #2 or Your Guild Needs YOU

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 [...]

Raiding

Let’s be quite clear. I love raiding. And perhaps not for the reason most people do – loot. No, I enjoy raiding for the complexities of getting 10 or 25 people who probably don’t know one another to work together to a common goal. To get certain individuals to do unique jobs while keeping an [...]
