WoW Update

So you may have been wondering what I’ve been doing in Warcraft these last few days. I’m now ready to tell you. I have been *drumroll* moping. Really. I’ve thought about it and I’m pretty sure that’s the right word. It all started last Wednesday, a 25 body guild run to try to do “[Jaraxuss must [...]

Worgen Smorgen

I was just perusing the web to see if Blizzard had released any pictures of female Worgen. I couldn’t find any except for some rather disappointing concept art with “pretty pretty” pointy foxy faces. I’ve done a little thought and I will be quite saddened if the Worgen are just “gentle-ified” versions of the males. [...]

Ride Report: Major Oak

We went to Major Oak to do a 32km pleasure ride, this is the longest ride we’ve done this year and only top equal with last years batch of recovery pleasure rides. I was a bit worried about our fitness, both mine and Caspers, winter has been long and there’s not been as much training [...]

Riotface

We went for a progression fight on Rotface last night, the intent was not to down him on the first attempt, our Raid Leader just wanted this to be a learning fight. That was good, it took the pressure off. Unfortunately I can’t say I learned as much as I would have liked. The majority [...]

Pies!

OK, So I’ve been looking at some logs from last night Festergut attempt, the one where Flowersz did a billip-ton of healing instead of feeling like that folded up pamplet you put under the wonky table leg. Any road up Here comes chart time! Chart the first, the eagle eyes will see that most of the [...]

Too busy?

I think so too. Still, even with this UI I managed to help the Bad Apples down Festergut! I’m not saying what my HPS was on Festergut, ‘coz frankly I don’t believe it! Summat simply must be wrong with the log analysis thingy. Also… Flowersz now has 2 piece T10 and the haste bonus is [...]

Blogger kudos

I’ve been reading Righteous Orbs posts and they’re fantastic. Just saying.

Gearscore is a cheap wonky plastic ruler

If you read trade chat or other blogs you will see how GearScore has become the predominant “ruler” by which players are measured. I’ve used something called Inventory on Par for ages which does a similar job, but I’ve never assumed that it was a decent measure. Players seem to be thinking that it is [...]

And fifthly

Something Matticus (I think) suggested a long time ago when dual specs were introduced may have come to pass.. On last night’s run when we switched from 3 healers to 2 healers for the extra DPS to avoid the enrage timer I was asked what my DPS spec was like. I pointed out that I’d [...]

And finally

Questions were raised over my talent spec, mostly through a misundertanding between what “Focused Mind” and “Healing Focus” do. Anyway, it’s prompted me to look at my talent spec again, I’m happy with 95% of it, and unsurprisingly this matches with the core cookie-cutter build. The only thing is I have 3 points “left-over”. These [...]
