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 »
My nitro boosts no longer work in Arena? Huh? We all might’ve heard this was being considered but it didn’t make it’s way into any of the patch notes, yet the change happened anyway… Read the rest of this entry »
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 »
The new Arena Season is just around the corner, besides sharpening your swords and stocking up on hot pockets here are a few things I think any rookie or seasoned player should be aware of. With the new changes done to Paladins and Death Knights in particular we should be seeing a change in class compositions with the new season. A huge relief since I personally think Season 5 was an imbalanced disaster where you either where a Paladin or a Death Knight (Survival Hunters and Resto Shamans also had some success) or you might as well just sat the season out on the benches.

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 »
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 »
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 »
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.
