Okay so it’s pretty obvious that I’ve left this section of 60FPS totally dead but I haven’t been playing WoW for quite a while now. Regardless when the expansion finally does come out I do plan on giving it a go.

For all you number crunchers out there here’s the most up to date Talent Calculator from WoWHead for Cataclysm.

Cheers.

As always I keep my eyes on WoWHead to find out if they updated their PTR site with the next talent calculator for the next patch, and this isn’t just a patch, this is THE PATCH. Read the rest of this entry »

As always, WoWHead keeps us up to date with the latest items and tools for all our WoW needs. For all of you who are dying to start coming up with new speccs for some of the classes (Death Knights mostly have gotten there talent trees hacked again, big surprise!). Read the rest of this entry »

Opening Screen to the Isle of Conquest

Alright so i’ve obviously have been out of the loop for a while. Just today I stumbled upon the latest patch notes on the test server and my first impression is that it looks good overall. What stands out the most to me obviously are the PvP changes and the NEW BATTLEGROUND! The isle of conquest! Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sure you’ve seen someone riding around in style on a cool motorcycle and I’m also sure you’ve wondered: can I get one? how much does it cost? The answer is YES and A FRAK LOAD of gold. The bike model is similar for alliance and horde and are called Mekgineer’s Chopper and Mechano-hog respectively. You don’t need to be an engineer to get it either but don’t think for a second that this means everyone and their pet murloc will be riding one. The price for one of these gas guzzlers is just insane! Read the rest of this entry »

Arena Ranking at SK-gaming

After a couple of weeks of the new season SK-gaming’s famous arena ranking page shows us how the new season is molding and forming. The results are disturbing and comforting at the same time. Let me explain myself… Read the rest of this entry »

After almost 5 months since the release of Wrath of the Lich King the first real content patch finally has gone live and with it all our fears and hopes collide as everyone scrambles to try to get onto their respective servers. I’m not going to delve much into the details about errors and issues this patch has but I will say that so far it doesn’t seem to be as bad as Patch 3.08 considering the sheer amount of content that’s in this one. For the most part the few bugs I’ve encontered so far haven’t been too grim although there’s one issue with the new dual talent system and talent windows that I find amusing.

The latest PTR build came out a couple days ago and WoWHead updated their talent calculator according to the newest changes. Besides a few icon errors it’s displaying all the talents properly and in the correct tier positions. One notable change to the latest 3.1.0 Patch Notes totally hit me in the face was that they decided to move Master of Ghouls back up to tier 6 instead of 4 (so it’s back to where it was). So all that theorycrafting I was coming up with for a possible 51-2-18 build is gone out the window. Read the rest of this entry »

I know, I know, I’m a horrible blogger! Once again I’ve taken another sabatical from blogging and without any warning either. FAIL! Well once again another week has gone by and the much awaited patch 3.1.0 hasn’t been released yet. In my last post I went over the basics on Death Knight presences and when/how to use them. As some of you may or may not know Death Knight presence talents are being revamped. Currently each talent tree has a 2 point talent which applies an aura that gives affects similar to the Death Knight’s presence to the rest of the group/raid. They’re each a tier 7 talent in their respective talent tree: Blood Aura, Frost Aura, and Unholy Aura. Read the rest of this entry »

So, what’s the deal with Presences? When should I use Blood, Frost, or Unholy?

I’ve been asked this quite a few times so I thought I’d give a shot at clearing it up. Unlike warrior stances, using presences is a lot simpler for two reasons: (1) regardless of the presence you’re in you can use all of your abilities and (2) there is very little need to “presence” dance. So which presences do you use and when? To answer this we have to look at what roles a DK has, DPS, Tanking, and PvP… Read the rest of this entry »
