Here’s what I’ve learnt a) Make sure you don’t have crusader aura turned on – it’s nice for riding the pone, but not so good for tanking. b) Make sure you are wearing a chestpiece. Tanking Bare-chested is certainly manly, especially with Fflow’s huge Draenei chest. But it doesn’t really help the healers or your aggro generation. [...]
The Fuller memorandum A new author for me – Charles Stross. This book is like many I read, contemporary fantasy, though edging into the cyber-punk. Charles tries quite successfully to merge magic, specifically demonology with the technical world, to produce a secret world that is familiar, yet different. A pretty decent read, and an author [...]
Imagine my surprise when I heard myself comparing 3D films and tv to erotica and porn! But it’s true, 3D can be done sensibly and subtly, like Avatar, or it can be done like the all of the ”AINT 3D TV GREAT” demos – the ones where the axe comes out of the screen, sits [...]
Fflow is back to tanking. In fact he’s almost exclusively leveling through tanking instances and currently hovering at 67 ¾. I can’t wait to get to the Northrend dungeons. Sometimes Fflow gets a good group, and rarely a bad one, what with overgearing instances and all. Usually the worst are the overconfident, the “bigger pulls [...]
OK, I need to do some checking up, but several times I’ve seen comments about how rest XP is to help players who only play once or twice a week, or possibly to encourage players not to play quite so long. I tihnk I’ve seen it suggested as a “benefit” to players who only play [...]
I went last night to see Judie Tzuke (wikipedia link) at the Sheffied City Hall. It was brill, a few problems finding the place – not that Sheffield City Hall is hard to find, a stonking great building in the center of Sheffield with a big sign on the front saying Box office (where you go to pick [...]
Well, levelled pally to 64 so the dungeons in Outland are yellow instead of orange and joined the Dungeon Finder. I’m glad I did, because my tanking confidence is back -If I don’t tank for a bit I feel like my tanking skill decays over time. So, tanked two dungeons and no surprise problems. Fflow-Palatank [...]
Like an awful lot of people I’ve changed my routine in Warcraft, working on project PallyTank. I took a break from the dungeon finder from level 55, after a BRD took 2 hours when I only wanted to spend an hour at it. So I’ve quested my way up to level 62 and I think [...]
A very very few of you might possibly have seen that I “like” pogoplug on facebook. Which isn’t strictly true, it’s just what you get for pressing buttons at random. I do have a pogoplug but I’ve not had it quite long enough to say that I “like” it yet. That said, it seems to do [...]
It’s been quiet I know. As with so many other bloggers, sometimes Real Life ™ gets in the way. For me this has been holidays, studying for an exam, and so on. And of course WoW is pretty quiet at the moment anyway. All I can really say is PalaTank is at level 57 and [...]
