As we all should know, shamans are a hybrid class, and as such are a renaissance class capable of doing a little bit of everything. Powerful healers and damage dealers their only difference from the other 2 hybrid classes (druid and paladin) they can’t tank. The most important thing to keep in mind when alocating your talents is to know exactly what we want to do, whether it be healing (Restoration), melee damage (Enhancement), or mastery over the elements (Elemental); although it is also possible to construct a “hybrid” build which allows us to do a little bit of everything but poorly.
Alright so this week’s video is a bit cliché since it’s what I found on the front page of WarcraftMovies.com but I watched other movies (honest!) and this one really is quite interesting and noteworthy. Ever wondered what the setup and player looked like behind those multiboxing shamans zapping your brains to fizzle-fry with 4 simultaneous Chain Lightnings? Read the rest of this entry »
The boys over at WoWHead.com have recently released a calculator with all the Patch 3.1 changes done so far on the PTR realms. Some of the classes have been changed very little others (such as Death Knights) have had trees rearranged almost completely. Frost has been turned upside-down practically and as I feared the 0/32/39 Dual Wield specc for Death Knights will be gone forever. Paladins lost their Blessing of Kings in protection as it is becoming a base ability and are left with a very naked Tier 1 in their Protection Tree. Read the rest of this entry »
The video for this week is made by another Blood Elf but instead of a Paladin the next most overpowered class, a Death Knight from Tortheldrin-USA. It’s short and has no instructional use to it other than perhaps to show how Blood Specced Death Knights can exploit a talent they have called Hysteria. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s not quite level 80 yet but getting to level 60 was a huge achievement for me. Never have I gotten a priest to such a high level. Thank you heirlooms! At the time I write this I’m actually level 64, racing on as quickly as I can to 68 so I can go to Northrend. Funny, I rushed as much as I could to get to Outland and now that I’m there I don’t want to be anymore. The truth is I never really liked Outland that much, the scenery is too out there for my taste but the quests at least are well thought out and close together unlike the nightmare that is Azeroth.

Alright so I’ve decided to share once every week a WoW movie I’ve seen that is either interesting, entertaining, or both. One day I’ll make my own, need to buy another 1T hard drive to fill up with Fraps recordings first. Anyway, I digress, the video I’d like to point out this week is called “Deadlyblond – Brutal janitor”. Unfortunately there isn’t a youtube video available or any other embedded format so you’ll have to go to www.warcraftmovies.com and check it out. I suggest downloading it if you got the bandwidth because the author made an awesome effort at making a high quality video, otherwise there are a couple HQ (High Quality) versions available for viewing. I recommend using Tortun, it can be a bit buggy but streams videos very nicely. Read the rest of this entry »
For all of you who haven’t checked out the 3.1.0 patch notes that Blizzard has revealed, please do so now. There are quite a few upcoming class changes that are very easily going to turn the PvE and especially the PvP scenes upside down. I’m not going to get into all the nitty gritty details in this post because like all test realm patch notes they’re not definitive yet but I feel the need to discuss the changes that have been going on and what will happen to Death Knights, Blizzard’s experimental monstrosity.

WoW Census Data for classes at level 80 as of 22-02-2009
Months ago when Wrath of the Lich King first came out I made a post about the insane amount of Death Knights running amouk in Azeroth. After more than 3 months of the new expansion being out it’s safe to assume everyone who can, HAS made a Death Knight on their server or some other unfortunate server. The first week during WotLK Death Knight populations where ridiculous, anywhere between 20-25% of the overall population. Just like any new species brought into an ecosystem though nature finds a way to balance things out. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a week now since I started my twink project and I’m now level 44 at the time of writing this post. Not bad considering the amount of play time I get and that I also dedicate time to playing on my warrior and death knight as well. My experience post level 30 has been amazing, I can blaze through levels without any effort whatsoever and recently I’ve twinked my already twinked priest more with a shoulder enchant for my heirloom shoulders. That’s right folks, there’s a way to enchant your heirloom shoulders, there’s only one that works and it probably won’t be long before Blizzard “fixes” this issue. Read the rest of this entry »
I finally let my alt-itis get the better of me and succumbed to buying a bunch of heirlooms in an attempt to level up a priest. I say “attempt” because this will be my oh… 4th or 5th time I try to level up a priest. Every time I’ve gotten somewhere between level 20 and 30 before I just couldn’t take it anymore and gave up but this time I have some help! So I bought the following for now at level 1:
Pretty amusing to have spell damage and haste at level 1. Regardless, my level 1 twinked priest still ran OOM after smiting a few boars, luckily my Blessed Hammer of Grace packs quite a melee punch. Melee priest huzzah! Read the rest of this entry »
