Hi, people who are following me suddenly. Probably cause I linked to this site in The Queue - this is the new Draenei model, male (I have a female Draenei and we’ll be working on sets for her) with the final iteration of my black and red plate armor.
I’ll have more stuff up soon.
I’ve never been good at being just a tank or just a DPS warrior. I always get itchy.
I think this is because I came up during original raiding, when you needed a variable amount of tanks for every fight, and you could easily have four or five tanks on trash but only two (or even just one) for some boss fights. So I got used to two things.
- Tanking arms or fury spec. EVERYONE tanked arms or fury…
Because sometimes I feel like people see me as overly negative, a few points: Disliking how the Colossus Smash mechanic works for fury does not mean I am ignorant of how well integrated it is in arms, nor that I think it doesn’t…
See, I’m actually not a huge fan of complaining. It’s not terribly productive. It doesn’t fix problems. I try to never list a problem with the warrior class without making some sort of suggestion. This is in a big part why I hate Colossus Smash so much – it creates a problem that is only a problem for some players (and clearly not for Blizzard, who have said they likethe burst window effect of…
The completed Siege of Orgrimmar Tier 16 DK lookalike set on a warrior.
Adjusting to tanking – first week in Heroic SoO
So our first two nights in heroic SoO with me as a tank are over, and they weren’t toobad. I relied pretty heavily on advice from the other tank (he’s been our guild’s official off-tank for a while, so he’d seen and tanked more of it than I have) but in general there were only two fights I felt like I did poorly on – Heroic Norushen and Heroic Iron Juggernaut. Iron Juggernaut was just a matter…
Warlords of Draenor and things I haven’t discussed yet
Allright. Been an absolutely terrible month for me personally so far (looking at a 2k bill I have no way to pay) so I’ve been distracted. So, what’ve I missed so far in terms of Warlords of Draenor?
- Draenor Perks. I didn’t mention them. They’re fairly boring – a bunch of abilities will get more damage. A few of them are interesting – Improved Colossus Smash turns CS into a rage generator (similar…
The Great Yawn – Warriors and the Warlords of Draenor Alpha Patch Notes
So.
Whole lot of nothing there, huh?
Yes, I’m talking about the Warlords of Draenor alpha patch notes. Or more to the point, the “We took away your means to generate rage outside of one attack on a cooldown between 4 and 6 seconds, hope you like leveling without any control over that.”Seriously, as these patch notes stand (and yes, I’m aware they are Alpha patch notes and thus not finalized)…
A dissection of the Reaper of Souls story and its impact on Diablo III’s lore
Okay, if you ever read my old semi defunct blog over here, you’ll know that I wrote a thing about the gnostic overtones of Diablo III. Just like that post, this post is absolutely chock full of spoilers. I am going to spoil the ever loving crap out of Reaper of Souls and I don’t want to hear any complaints about it. I’m warning you right here, right now.

The last time I seriously MT’d in Mists of Pandariawas in Tier 14 content. So now that I’m trying to get ready to go prot full time again for at least a month (our guild’s MT is taking a month off and we’re looking at several other players taking off due to RL and burnout( one of the biggest things I’m having to do is relearn the tanking mindset. Frankly, I think I might skip relearning the way I
