Naked Dwarf Does Science

Posted: by Frostheim in General

So I was thinking about tenacity pets over the weekend, and wondering if the crocolisk could possibly top the gorilla as an aoe tank. This got me to wondering exactly how much threat the “moderate amount of additional threat” on thunderstomp is. Well, I spent way too much time searching around online and couldn’t find [...]

Loot Train

So today I find myself hating most of my guildmates. You see, our guild is scattered across the country, and in fact across the globe. We have lots of guild members in California, Texas, and a whole pack of ‘em in Australia. But I’m in Minnesota, where the temp this morning was -12. So yeah, [...]

Grats!

It’s Friday. I just want to congratulate everyone out there on making it through the week. Surviving through to Friday alone is an Achievement, and the WHU is officially awarding you 10 Achievement points for making it this far. And we additionally hope that you’re Friday goes well — better in fact that mine will. [...]

Pet Collar

Back when I was a wee dwarf of only 10 levels or so, questing in Dun Morogh, I occasionally had to kill these snow leopards that lived in the mountains. It was important to the dwarves there to keep the population low. Every now and then I’d kill one, and they’d drop this. A Small [...]

10 Man Naxx

Posted: by Frostheim in Hrist

So, despite doing 25-man raids for the last couple of weeks, last night was my first jaunt into Naxx 10-man. Most of the raiders in our guild divided into 10-man teams in preparation for Wrath, and it took a little while for enough members of my team to be ready. But somehow I was more [...]

Reviewed 8/26/10 Patch 3.3.5 OUTDATED Warning: This is an outdated Wrath guide. For current information, see the level 85 Cataclysm version of the guide Here. Okay, let’s take a look at the best ferocity pet talent build for raiding, for the BM, MM, and survival hunter. This talent build assumes that you’re going for the [...]

25 Man Candy

I have a roommate who does not play WoW. Like many such people, she doesn’t really understand it, or it’s appeal, but is tolerant. For my part, I like to help her appreciate the joy and accomplishment that can be had from raiding. So this past weekend was our second weekend of 25-man content, and [...]

Relic of Pain

Posted: by Arust in General

So, the word is that Relic of Ulduar is going to be worth 250 rep for some turn in value.  Its 10 per turn in for the rep now on the PTR, so with luck it will be out next patch.  They might change the number, as that sounds low.  Either way, save those baddies [...]

Hunter Chat

Posted: by Frostheim in General

So we were raiding Naxx 25-man again tonight. Now, within my guild, the hunters have their own guild chat channel. There’s one for tanks as well. Used to be a healer and a pally one, but don’t know if they’re still around. Our hunter chat channel is awesome, but that’s because we hunters are awesome. [...]
