The achievement: Get to the Choppa! is all about fanatical devotion to making money. Much like paying dues. Except in this case the majority of the dues go to the goblin Rixi Ramrocket in K3. Really, I’m sure she’s a great person, but after being worked over for the amount she charges, I’d rather hit [...]

Darnassus, oh Darnassus. How I love thee and all thy city guards. Thy fine, fine, city guards. I found out what a Fool for Love I am recently. In finding that out, I also realized what a great city I come from. Sure, we don’t have a blacksmith, or running water, or even a corrupt [...]
We all perceive the world a little bit differently. Some of us perceive the world a lot differently. I like to think that I have a slightly more factual worldview than most, but when it comes to WoW, there is certainly a Frostheim-specific skew to things. Not a distortion so much as a piercing through [...]
So it’s another holiday in WoW — the valentines day event is upon us. What that means for me is that everywhere I go in Dalaran, people are showering me with rose petals. You might think it would make me feel special. After all I got the showered with affection buff. But that’s not affection, [...]
Blizzard announced today that their plans for removing ammo from the game in patch 3.1 won’t actually happen. They still want to do it, but won’t get around to it in that patch — probably because the time needed to increase DK and ret Pally burst damage was more than they had planned. On the [...]
So, patch day. 3.0.9, the un-nerf. I get home, log in, run to Ironforge and the target dummies that I’m starting to develop pet names for. I’m there a lot. I re-tested my SV dps, just to make sure I had totally fresh numbers. Then with equal parts anticipation and fear – do I want [...]
So I have a friend that I used to do arenas with. At the time he was playing a duid on our 2v2 team. We did pretty well, considering I was a hunter, the whipping dog of BC arenas. As you know, I’ve been focusing on raiding as much as possible, but the other day [...]
So it looks like a sneaky patch 3.0.9 is going live this week. On it are… omg? Could it be? BM hunter buffs? Indeed: Kindred Spirits (Beast Mastery): This talent now grants 20% pet damage at max rank. Serpent’s Swiftness (Beast Mastery): This talent now grants 20% pet attack speed at max rank. This revokes [...]
So I’ve written before about my philosophy of the Great Tank. I think that a great MT needs not only skills, but a streak of asshole to whip people into shape and keep them in line. I do not think this is a trait you want in your healers. No I don’t. The ideal healer [...]
Blue Post Here. As we know, Blizz has been talking about reworking classes in patch 3.1, which is when the new raid dungeon comes out. Dunno when, but blue posts suggest it will certainly be after Blizzcon. The biggest happy in this post was this: Consumable ammunition has been removed from the game. Arrows and [...]
