Let me preface this entry by stating that I began writing this before patch 4.2 dropped but between a trip to Disneyland with my wife and all of the hullabaloo over 4.2 my blog became a distant concern. I’m not apologizing for the neglect over the past month, but I did want to explain to [...]

A new design philosophy is about to be dropped on WoW with hybrids becoming viable role-fillers other than just providing extra utility. Up until now boomkins/kitties provided lackluster DPS compared to pure DPS classes, but now will be on par with everyone else. This has many pure classes upset and fearful of losing their raid [...]

No matter how much I intend to update this journal, I always seem to allow laspes … of the large kind. So let’s see if I can’t get everyone caught up with my going-ons … Seems Blizzard will be releasing WotLK November 13th despite indications from the beta that it won’t be completely ready. But [...]
Short-fall

I really don’t want to QQ, but getting into arena-based pvp this late in the TBC cycle is frustrating. Simply put, gear just makes too much of a difference (skill can only compensate so much) and if you’re just starting out, you’re pretty much fodder for those that are rolling s3+ gear. Okay, so I’m [...]
Decisions

Twenty-three months have passed since I blog’d about what potential talent builds I’d pick up for TBC. I figure it would be fun to reflect on those ideas and look forward to my current ideas for WotLK with my rogue. Back in August ’06 I laid out 4 talent spreads, 2 combat specs, a mutilate [...]
7-11

Arena 2v2 is an interesting beast. My performance is under a microscope in 2v2 and if I eff up, my priest buddy and I get flattened. Tonight we went 7-11 despite the fact that Indraal (the priest) needs “better” gear and is shy of 9k health buffed. Druids are problematic for us since my spec [...]
Hideous

Progression in PVP gear has been pretty steady on my rogue for the past couple of weeks. This is thanks to my lack of following through on working on my alts. Prior to most of my WoW sessions I think to myself “I really should work on my alts” or “I’ll definitely hop on my [...]

After a 2 week long obsession with pvp on my rogue, I’ve started hating rogue pvp again. Well okay, I’m still combat spec’d and don’t get to ShS (back before TBC I spec’d for ShS and absolutely loved it … but that was when ShS + Ambush was still moderately useful). I’ve contemplated many times [...]

I really am trying to update my journal more, but between work, school, house work, catching up in WoW I’ve neglected updating this. (Yah yah, it’s the same ‘ol story) SO, let’s try to catch up rapid fire. I’m coming to the realization that 5 week terms are a horrible idea for a college education. [...]
