Raid lockout changes – why I love it (but why I fear for 25s)
Apr 27th
24hours and counting on my migraine, so I can’t make any promises regarding coherency here. But I wanted to share my (initial) thoughts on Blizzard’s announcement that in Cataclysm they will be putting 25s and 10s on the same lockout, with the same loot. Summary from WoW.com: * 10- and 25- man raids in Cataclysm
An open letter to Blizzard: Dispels in Cataclysm
Apr 7th
Dear Blizzard Devs, RE: Beta changes to dispel mechanics I should preface this by saying that I love using all of my abilities when I raid (well, with the exception of cycloning – not a fan), and I do enjoy dispelling IF it is meaningful and NOT just buttonmashing to remove all the purple or
Rant: when baddies attack, part deux
Mar 30th
I’m back from my little break! Sadly though, my first post is going to be a rant. But it can’t be helped – this is something that absolutely infuriated me, and I need to write it down so I can let it go. It’s long, and there are no pretty pictures – I apologise in
Healing Sindragosa
Feb 24th
I’ll break this one into my druid tips, and some placement tips. Normally I don’t post strats because various other sites do a great job of them; but I spent the time creating the placement diagrams for my guild and though I would share them. It’s not a full strat, just some ideas for placement
Inexorable is looking for healers
Feb 7th
Just a quick plug for my guild – Inexorable (Horde, Caelestrasz-US) is currently seeking healers. I’m chasing a pally, a priest, and another druid. We raid Wed/Thu/Mon 7:30 to 11:00, and Sun 6:30 to 11:00 server time (Aust EST). We’re currently leading the server with 10/12 bosses down in Icecrown, about to go work on
Healing Dreamwalker: Channeling your inner warlock
Feb 6th
Brace yourself kids, this is a hefty one. There aren’t many fights in the game as novel (for healers) as Valithiria Dreamwalker. The “boss” in this encounter isn’t DPSed down; instead, she begins at half health and must be healed to full, at which point she will do a massive AOE attack and kill all
Valithiria Dreamwalker impressions
Feb 4th
I have some tips on Valithiria Dreamwalker – spec, glyphs, gear changes, UI, rotations etc – I’ll post those a little later as a mini tips post (and later, I’ll integrate it into the Frostwing Halls tip post). For now, I just wanted to reflect on our first encounter. Don’t discount your druids Contrary to
Resto druid tips for Icecrown: The Plagueworks
Feb 2nd
This is part 2 of my Icecrown “tips” series; part 1 (Lower Spire) is here. These are literally all just off the top of my head as I sit here – so I may have missed some. If you have any others, please let me know and I will add them in (and credit you,
Resto druid tips for Icecrown: Lower Spire
Jan 31st
I recently updated my Guides section, and added a “Strategies and tips” section – for boss guides, encounter tips, and general tricks that druids may find handy to know. I won’t be posting full strats for the Icecrown encounters; plenty of other sites do that, and they do a fantastic job of it, too (I
I goofed (kinda)
Jan 27th
After an absolutely flawless attempt (but a 4% wipe to her enrage timer), we had two attempts left at Blood Queen on 25. It was looking good – we just had to tweak things to squeeze a tiny bit more DPS out. We wiped due to an unlucky double-melee pact (yuck), and everyone ran back.
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
