Forget about other video games, I find it difficult enough to split my play time across multiple characters. Despite my best efforts, that is exactly what I have been doing lately. Over the past month I have put serious time in to not two, but ... More

As I recently lamented, questing in Zul’Drak has brought out a huge need for healing my leather-wearing rogue. The other day after a particularly close call, I called up a Heavy Frostweave Bandage, and my screen lit up as that familiar, lovely sight of an ... More
Going Solo: Bandaging on the Battlefield
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 - 13 Comments
Up until recently, most of my questing was done in pairs. My rogue teamed up with my husband’s warrior for a while as we leveled together. And when he out-leveled me, I started questing with his DK. Either way, I essentially had a tank as ... More

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 - 17 Comments
During the (incredibly short) leveling process my Priest was mostly specced Shadow, with a little bit of Discipline thrown in for good measure. Upon hitting level 60, and no longer gaining the benefits of the Refer-a-Friend program, I promptly respecced Holy. It has been ... More
