So in the PTR patch notes (that may or may not go live) we got this: All pets now receive 40% of their master’s resilience and 100% of their master’s spell penetration. In addition, if a player is at their appropriate spell hit chance or hit chance maximum, their pet will be at the maximum [...]

Keep in mind this is just the PTR notes, and all is subject to change. However, loads of cool stuff that we are well able to appreciate since we aren’t getting nerfed. No new ammo yet, though they changed the way the engineering ammo is made, without giving specifics. I’m going to go over some [...]
I’ve been raiding a lot lately: 10 man Ulduar, 10 man Naxx. 25 man Ulduar, 25 man Naxx. But amid various other news and musings, I haven’t been posting about it, something made apparent when I checked through my screenshots folder to discover a stack of unused screenshots. So here they are, a roundup of [...]
You know, as horrible as it was to get super nerfed, then nerfed again, then stealth nerfed, then nerfed again — it’s now paying off. After dreading every blue post and patch note, we hunters are finally in a place where Blizz has aknowledged that we’re a bit too weak and scale poorly with gear. [...]
I was thinking about breakups the other day, and I think there are three common ways that a relationship can end: Anger and hurtful words. The classic “bad” breakup where bridges are burned and feelings are hurt. Shock, sorrow and loss. The typical breakupee who didn’t see it coming, and you never realize what you [...]
I had some downtime this weekend and felt like playing a little WoW, but nothing was going on in the guild Sunday night. So I thought I’d switch over to my BM tank spec and see how far I could get solo in Nexus normal. I read some speculation on whether it would be possible [...]
When I’m driving, my mind wanders. I mean really wanders. There’s no rhyme or reason to what I’m thinking about or where it takes me, but you can safely bet that WoW comes up moderately often. Sometimes I end up driving someplace different than I intended. This is probably not safe, and really I can [...]
I was hanging out with a lolock friend last night working on a big web project that will make us both thousandaires, and we got to discussing studies on mental processes, and the difference between how men’s and women’s brains work. This was partially started by some comments in yesterday’s post. My friend was telling [...]
I like to fight with Arust. And by fight, I don’t mean the physical brawling kind (he’s an elf, what chance would he have) but the argument kind. Disagreeing with Arust is a delightful thing because we both believe in science, which settles all disagreements with either facts or logical, evidence-supported theories. For example, when [...]
