For all of vanilla WoW, shaman totems looked the same no matter what race you were. Of course back then the class was restricted to the Horde so it wasn’t much of a big deal. I think it’s when the shaman class opened up to the Alliance faction, specifically for the Draenei race, that things started to change. They got a different totem art while the Horde races still had the same totem art for the whole faction. You could write it off as “a faction thing” at least until now.

Patch 3.3 is going to see changes in the totem …read more

The concept of the Flame Leviathan encounter in Ulduar is pretty cool since we haven’t seen a raid encounter like it before, though we’ve seen vehicular combat in places like Wintergrasp. As a healer, I find it fun because it’s one of the only times I can actually do some serious butt kicking instead of watching health bars in a raid encounter.
It’s a pretty easy encounter, being the very first in the whole dungeon. As long as you know what you’re doing you should be fine. But of course there was one time when my guild did it in 25 …read more

Being a blogger it’s nice to see that I’ve left some kind of mark in the vast sea of information that is the Internet. Something that I’ve been quite fascinated about all these years is Youtube and the kind of finger print I can leave behind through that magnificent site if ever i had a video camera. My guess is that I probably won’t do much since I’m a shy type person but who knows.
Over the years I’ve been with several guilds, running all kinds of raids and I know of only one group of people that recorded some of …read more

Patch 3.1 is still only almost a week old but the normal mode of Ulduar has already been cleared by a few guilds around the world with the many reports of Yogg-Saron kills. But for most of us, we’re still probably working our way up through the different bosses. But I’m sure a lot of us will be joining these guilds in the Yogg-Saron kills eventually.
I thought that posting videos of the world first kill done by Ensidia would inspire a lot of people and also help them learn the encounter. I may not be a serious raider like some …read more

Patch 3.1 will be good news for all you players out there who just love collecting mounts or are tired of their current one and would want a fresh new one. Most of the new mounts coming out in the patch will be from the upcoming new content, the Argent Tournament.
The ones from the Argent Tournament are merely old racial mounts that have new colors. If you’re tired or just fed up doing BG’s to get honor to buy that mount you want from from the BG rewards vendor, this is another way you can get. Blizzard really wasn’t kidding …read more

Yesterday I was quite disappointed with the “Pimp My Mount” April Fool’s joke that Blizzard released. I just thought they could have done a bit better. Fortunately and to my surprise, that was actually just the WoW EU joke and the WoW US one was different. I checked the WoW US site and started laughing my ass off for several minutes when I saw the Dance Battle System joke. It really made up for the disappointment I had yesterday.
The idea of having a sort of dance duel is a pretty clever take on the feature that we’re still waiting for …read more

As we know, patch 3.1 will be coming out soon and one of the main features of the patch is the Ulduar raid dungeon. A lot of you might be wondering what the new tiered armor looks like for your class(es) and the video above will show you. I have to say that all the tier 8 armor looks pretty cool though some might be a bit less cool than others. The gear seems to take a lot from past gear designs and turned them cooler and more suited to the Wrath of the Lich King theme. My personal favorites …read more

One of the things being talked about now in the WoW community is the feat done by a gnome mage who soloed the Military Quarter of Naxxramas. It sounds like such an impossible feat as it is but then it’s actually even more amazing since this wasn’t 10 man Naxx but the 25 man one!
Apparently, the mage the talents Incanter’s Absorption and Burning Determination together with some buffs that were stolen using Spell Steal to do the job. Using that technique, the mage was able to avoid getting silenced too often and also have the DPS to down the …read more

A few days before the Wrath of the Lich King expansion comes out, we are treated to yet another progression of the big world event that we’ve been experiencing the past few weeks. the forces of the Lich King have gotten even more aggressive as frostwyrms and abominations invade the cities of Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Since I play Horde, I haven’t experienced the Alliance version of this event but judging from what I’ve experienced Horde side and seen from the videos, it must be awesome too.
In the Alliance version Varian Wrynn and his companions Bolvar Fordragon, Broll Bearmantle, Valeera Sanguinar …read more

OMG New Drain Animations! Or is it actually old? I don’t really know…
This is something I just noticed earlier when I was playing my warlock. It’s possible I never noticed it until today because I haven’t really been playing my warlock much. For some of you, this might not really be very new since I’ve seen videos of this as early as September from the beta and I’ve also read that it might have been implemented when Patch 3.02 came out. As for me, I never noticed it until today and I’m very fascinated by it since it looks …read more
