Lifebloom cost doubled in 3.1; now refunds mana and heals more on bloom
Feb 28th
The official PTR patch notes have been updated. Here’s the biggie for us. Lifebloom: Mana cost of all ranks doubled. When Lifebloom blooms or is dispelled, it now refunds half the base mana cost of the spell per application of Lifebloom, and the heal effect is multiplied by the number of applications. What this means:In

Nourish take 2: The dangers of getting ahead of oneself
Feb 26th
Ok, so I may have got a little ahead of myself and jumped the gun on the Nourish Glyph. We don’t know whether the new Nourish glyph stacks with the Tier 7 bonus. It might, it might not. We have to wait and see what is announced. Mmm, waiting. I’m not so good at that.I
Hello Nourish, it’s so nice to see you again
Feb 25th
Please note: in this post I make assumptions about glyphs and set bonuses stacking. This is my assumption based on a few reasons but nothing official has been announced and we cannot yet test them on the PTR. I may be wrong; they may not stack when the changes go live, which would obviously change
Resto4Life closing down
Feb 24th
Resto4Life is closing (also on WoWInsider). I KNEW something was up. Phae hadn’t posted in a while and I was getting concerned. Biting my nails and pacing, refreshing my Blogger dashboard every few minutes, waiting for any R4L entry to show up. I had a feeling…I didn’t see her entry at first, but rather a
GC clarifies the OO5SR regen changes
Feb 19th
For those who may be interested, GC has given a little more detail on the future regen changes (bold text is my emphasis): The goal is to have mana last about the same for all healers. We don’t think many players would be that interested in a style where you heal crazy good for a
Sixth Screenshot
Feb 19th
I’ve been tagged by Bell and Phae to dig out the sixth screenshot in my WoW folders. They’re ganging up on me so I’d better do it :/ I laughed when I grabbed this, I’m glad it turned up as number 6. It’s a great picture of me being ultra-noob: Level 23 on my first
Raid frame challenge Part 1: Grid
Feb 14th
Once I began to write everything up, I realised how much information there was to share – even though I’m really only writing about the parts of the mod that I personally make use of. I think I will need to break it up into the following format:Part 1a: Grid What can Grid do? Where
A shave and a haircut
Feb 13th
Well, not exactly.I got tired of my blog being so narrow; mostly because my posts are often fairly lengthy, and the narrow format makes them seem as though they go on for pages and pages. Plus, I am restricted to pictures being about 400px wide, and sometimes I want to put wider objects like screenshots
Project: Compare the raid frame heavyweights
Feb 12th
Major project time! *rubs hands together*This is going to require a fairly hefty investment of my time, but I’m really keen to do it.There are Grid lovers and Grid bashers. Healbot devotees and Healbot haters. Healbot, Pitbull, XPerl… how do they all measure up against Grid, the once standout leader in the raid frame race?
