I get it – life imitates art. Real cute.

Warning: if you can’t handle creepy crawlies, don’t read this. I have chickens. A couple of very handsome roosters, a handful of age-defying bantam hens, and a flock of generic layers. The chickens have lice. I now have lice. Being a laz0r chicken: You’re taking authenticity a bit far, actually Well, I don’t actually have

Resto druid guide up!

For a little while now I’ve been working on a Resto healing guide of my own. For ages I didn’t bother, since there were other guides up, and I didn’t think it was worth the effort to reinvent the wheel. But I realised that if I want my site to be any kind of resource,

Raid lockout changes – why I love it (but why I fear for 25s)

24hours and counting on my migraine, so I can’t make any promises regarding coherency here.

Cataclysm preview thoughts #2 (TLDR: I’m excited overall)

At the risk of starting to sound a bit like a broken record, I’d like to talk about the Cataclysm preview again. Yay! Just for something new and different I wanted to go back and give more thought to the changes, past my initial reactions. Initially I was very disappointed; I didn’t want another healing

Blizzard: Look to the Worgen – make ToL a toggle!

OK, so. Blizz says the Tree of Life (ToL) form is slowly becoming a pointless costume, rather than a useful shapeshift. Cats and bears have entirely new abilities and gameplay while in their forms; trees do not. Shifting into tree restricts us and hides our armor. Whether or not we agree with that, it’s what

I shapeshift, therefore I am.

I know a lot of people out there don’t like the Tree of Life form – but I also know that MANY people DO like it, and don’t want to see it go to a cooldown ability. No other druid form is forced onto a cooldown – bears, cats and moonkins don’t have to give
