Friday, June 12th, 2009 - 31 Comments
The changes (or nerfs as some of us raiders like to describe them as) for Ulduar keep rolling in. All of the changes should be live, but some may require a realm restart. The first significant change comes to the “end boss” of Ulduar, Yogg-Saron ... More
So Much Raiding, So Little Time
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 - 23 Comments
While I’ve always considered myself a strong raider, I’ve always done my best to keep a handle on the amount of time I dedicate to the game. It is after all, just a game, and it is very important to not spend too much time ... More

Now that 3.1 has been out for a while, and the dust is at least starting to settle, I think its time to take a step back and discuss how much impact the patch has really made on the game. While the introduction of the Ulduar ... More

Earlier we took a look at some the gear design philosophy of Blizzard and saw some armor that was introduced in 3.0 and that will be added in 3.1. We looked at the “Lost Vanquishers” (sans Druid): Rogue, Death Knight, and Mage. Today we are ... More
PvP and PvE Armor in 3.1 - Rogue, Death Knight, Mage
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 - 18 Comments
