Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 14 Comments

There is a recent fad among top-level Rogues. Its a throwback to the old weapon swap + Shiv that was so popular in the early Burning Crusade days. Thanks to things like Cut to the Chase and Glyph of Envenom, its becoming easier and easier ... More

The Back-and-Forth Saga of a 3.3 Vanish Fix

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 - 9 Comments

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, rogues have got to be sneaky. It’s a good part of what defines the class, allows them, as leather-wearers, to deal melee dps without instant death, and sets them apart from other DPSers. So it’s no huge surprise that Vanish, ... More

OMG Patch Today! The new content patch hits the live servers today. Players can download the patch by running the World of Warcraft launcher. The patch for OSX clocks in at 40.5MB, and the Windows counterpart is likely comparable. Patch 3.2.2 is a mixed bag for me. ... 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

Feint: The Long Lost Skill

Monday, June 8th, 2009 - 34 Comments

My fellow raiding Rogues, we’ve been neglecting one of the biggest buffs to our beloved class that we’ve had in a while. No it doesn’t improve DPS, directly at least, but falls in line with the number one rule of being a raiding rogue, staying ... More
