Riding the Red Line

Posted: by Frostheim in General

I’m very happy to report that Myrliandre has returned to WoW, if not to guild mastering. It turns out it was all a big ploy — he was actually lurking in the dark back alleys of sunny Australia, biding his time, selling his years of BM devotion on the black market in a MM respec [...]

New Video Guides

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Clearly after yesterday’s post, everyone has their discussion hats on – so let’s have some discussion on another topic! The Jump Shot video guide was pretty popular (and exposed a lot of keyboard turners!) and I was thinking about putting together some more video guides. So of course my question is — what would you [...]

Of Unbelievers and Fools

Posted: by Frostheim in General

I got an email recently from a hunter named Aurial, partially reprinted here with his permission: I have PUGed a lot of 10 mans, 25 mans, and five man heroics and I have never been out DPSed by another hunter period.  Maybe on one boss I lose ground here or there, taking into account procs, crits, [...]

Moar Hunting Party

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Hey guys, I’m going to be on the Hunting Party podcast again (and possibly regularly) with Euripides and Darkbrew. At any rate, this is going to be a panel discussion — so please, if you have any questions or topics you’d like to hear us discuss, please post them in the comments here! Note that [...]

Screenshot Roundup

And for Friday here is the remainder of my great screenshot folder cleanup:                  

New WHU T-Shirts

Posted: by Frostheim in General

So Hrist’s battle rez quote finally motivated my lazy butt into adding a couple of new shirts to the WHU Store. Now the question is can I get a couple myself in time for the ICON panels… As always, the shirts come in various colors – whatever Cafe Press has available. Color selection is completely [...]

MM vs SV DPS Update

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Since patch 3.2.2 and the armor pen nerf, I’ve been working my butt off to determine whether SV has toppled MM as the best raid dps spec, or if MM still has a tiny lead. I’ve even started secretly hoping for wipes at the end of boss fights — ’cause then I can switch specs [...]

The Hate Tank

Posted: by Frostheim in Hrist

Ah, the tank we all hate to love. In cleaning out my screenshot folder it’s really no surprise that so many were Hrist-related. Looking through them makes you ask the really deep questions in life: Will Hrist’s rage some day consume all the happiness in the world? If kindness and love are such better emotions, why [...]

My Thursday night began as many others do. With no raid scheduled, I logged on to do some dailies, a battleground or two, and maybe tweak my Power Auras. What I got was much different: “Arth, we need an off-tank for Nax 10. You in?” After giddily accepting, I quickly put on my game face. [...]

So Sick…

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Too full of snot and fever for a real post today. Too miserable to even get Arth’s Naxx pet tanking update up. 25-man raid on Sat, and finally after 10 months I got a gun upgrade. It looks awful – like my very first white gun – but I’m loving it. Had envoy or mortality [...]
