UPDATE (10/12): Revised all specs to 36 points, rather than the full 41 initially shown. This was done to reflect the reality of 4.0.1, which of course doesn’t include levels 81–85. I also mades some changes in talent selections based on further research. Disclaimer: I have not been in the Cataclysm Beta. I have never…

A Cataclysm is Coming
Yesterday, Blizzard announced the latest expansion to World of Warcraft, called Cataclysm, will be released on December 7. As is my habit, I did not enroll in the Cataclysm1 beta test, nor have I participated on the public test realm (PTR) for patch 4.0.1, which should go live in a week or two. Or three….
WoW: On the 3.3 Bandwagon
Once again, WoW has regained its "WOW" factor for me. Yes, I know: All week you’ve been reading blog articles about how great the new cross-realm grouping tool is, how it has rekindled flagging interest in the game for so many people. Allow me to jump on that bandwagon. Background I’ve been playing World of…
Initial Reactions to 3.1
Yes, Virginia, there was a patch on Tuesday. And hotifxes on Wednesday. And probably more in coming days and weeks. I have it on good authority that Heroic Ulduar is a bitch-and-a-half, and needs to be trimmed down to no more than a bitch-and-a-quarter. Dual-Spec: Smooth as Silk So Tuesday, once I finally got in,…
This and That: An Update of Sorts
3.1: I can’t be bothered When last I posted, I mentioned I’d have a post up soon regarding Priest changes in 3.1 Clearly that hasn’t happened, nor will it. Generally I refrain from addressing speculative changes, and in the clear light of day (my link to MMO-Champion in my last post was made well after…
PTR 3.1.0 – Patch Notes
PTR 3.1.0 – Patch Notes are now available at MMO-Champion (and no doubt other locales as well. I will try to get a post up on Tuesday to address Holy Priest changes, but at first glance, there don’t appear to be any surprises, and I’m generally pleased with the changes. Of course, that may change…
Patch 3.0.9 This Week: Inner Fire Gets a Buff!
According to WoW Insider, Blizzard will propagate patch 3.0.9 to live servers this week. My guess is it will occur in conjunction with the regularly scheduled Tuesday maintenance, but who knows? We may not see the actual patch until Wednesday (when Love is in the Air kicks off) or Thursday. That said, there is only…
Patch 3.0.8: Some Undocumented Good Things
Author’s Note, 1/22/09: Last night, I came to the realization that my earlier joy in what I thought was a change to herbalism was only a change to questing. (Even though the mushrooms in the Dalaran Underbelly show up as herbs if you’re tracking.) My apologies to everyone for not better verifying this supposed change…
Arthas: Your Days Are Numbered
Yep, I got my ticket punched to Northrend, and I’ve got you in my sights, you cold-hearted b@st@rd. And in other news… Welcome to Day 2 of Wrath of the Lich King! Before I dive back into the game this morning (time to get the rogues’ Mining, Jewelcrafting, Skinning and Enchanting up to speed), I…
Patch Day: Almost Painless, But It Brought On Many Changes
The Echoes of Doom were very faint at the Aerie last week. Patch day was relatively uneventful, even with rebuilding the UI. Still a few minor bugs there, but no show-stoppers. Plenty of play time over the weekend, and on Sunday night, Kestrel was patrolling the skies over Netherstorm in search of a particular chimaera…
