Hopefully the title says it all. If you’re not the slighest bit interestet in healing, I suggest you look away now. In fact, go look at Snottydin because she’s a girl irl and her words of wisdom in the trials and tribulations of being such in WoW have been transcribed today by the DDK. Anyway, . . . → Read More: the one all about healing As people have probably gathered, I’m really sensitive about PuGs that are bitchy about tank gear. I started playing Temitope more the other day. I really like her, and I get this weird sense of smugness from knowing that while my gear is now *shit*, I got it the hard way – doing heroics and buying Heroism . . . → Read More: Subjective HP: A WinPuG rant So as you might or might not have picked up from my posts, I recently dual-specced my Paladin to Retribution. I understand that Ret DPS before they put the cast time back on Exorcism was described as “you push buttons and damage happens”. Now that they’ve made Exorcism require an Art of War proc … well it . . . → Read More: The Economics of the Death Knight As I think I’ve mentioned before, I run a regular D&D game on Sundays. Both I and one of the players are physics graduates, and we have a sort of running joke whereby every time somebody had a run of good or bad luck I’ll say “what are the chances of that happening” and he’ll reply . . . → Read More: Heroic Gundrak Again? Some Musings on the RNG I’m going to get letters about the title of this post. I’m an old school roleplayer at heart, the pen and paper, five geeks and a bunch of dice variety. In terms of computer games, I have a really hard time getting interested in anything that doesn’t involve leveling, branching dialogue, character customisation, and a whole bunch . . . → Read More: Cataclysm and the Casuals or “Oh Look, It’s Just Like a Real RPG” This post is about Guild Drama. Actually, it’s about The Guild the drama/sitcom by Felicia Day. But saying it’s about guild drama allows me to pull a cheap bait and switch so … there it is. The Guild is a sitcom about a guild of players in a game that is an awful lot like World of Warcraft. The . . . → Read More: Guild Drama Question: When is a Nerf not a Nerf? Answer: When it’s a buff. Tamarind wrote a while ago about about an attempt to 3-man Blood Furnace with three squishy DPSers which ultimately failed because the guy playing the mage kept bitching about how it had been “nerfed”. Except of course it hadn’t. It’s just that the game was now . . . → Read More: Weekend Riddles Larisa, over at pink pigtail inn, observed that a flood of epics doesn’t make up for lack of content. You know what would make up for lack of content? More content. Specifically, more content targeted at people who *haven’t* already cleared Ulduar. Blizzard’s new raiding policy was based on the observation that only four percent of the player base . . . → Read More: More Thoughts on Content, the Four Percent Just to fill y’all in on a bit of background, Temitope – the eponymous deathtard and my only 80 – is actually my sixth or seventh alt (after an undead Warlock, a Troll priest, a belfadin, an Orc shaman, a belvish bank-alt, and a Drenai warrior (my only other Alliance character). I rolled Temi specifically to . . . → Read More: Some Thoughts on Alts The following is probably going to make me sound like a complete weirdo: I prefer trash pulls to boss fights. Yes I know boss fights give you the cool loot, and I know boss fights have exciting mechanics and scripted events, and I know that when you get right down to it every trash pull is the same, . . . → Read More: In Praise of Trash Pulls |
