Diminshing Returns

I can already hear the chorus of "I told you so".

I have begun down the road of shield slam PVP. Main actual benefits include being able to do some burst damage in a battle ground while not re-spec'ing twice a week. Because as much as I love devastate and whirlwind with my dual [item]The Decapitator[/item]'s,running after a moving target as a dual wielder is not nearly as much fun as popping the trinket, waiting for the priest to get to you, popping the shield off of it...

Guildies find my blog
I grew up in an Asian household that put down any sense of individual achievement (i.e., outsider commenting on something I've done; my parents would point out what I did wrong which would sometimes be a white lie, to diminish my accomplishment) . Hence, I've struggled with modesty and...

Vashj phase3

Finally. We've taken more time to get there than alot of would have liked but we're not very hardcore and have a limited schedule. Until last night, we'd been really laid back and still farming out other bosses in SSC and TK as well as Mags.

Last night marked a definite change and I am proud of our GM/RL for stepping up in one sense and stepping back in another. He allowed one of our hunters who is pretty smart with strats make some tweaks and spell them out, in effect, the RL delegated...

Heroic MgT - Two viewpoints

Posted 03-30-2008 at 03:25 PM by Shorty
So after, three runs as dps/mage through normal I finally managed to get myself into heroic Magisters Terrace .... twice.

We four manned the first boss (mage got locked out), two-shotted the second - with an enormous gnome tanking by the end - heroism was really useful. Third one took a couple of tries, but eventually downed her and she dropped the tank trinket for me Kael took a...
