One more: Prot DPS > Fury Prot DPS?

Posted 06-25-2008 at 05:41 PM by thugthedum
So a strange thing happened last week in ZA. I decided to blow some cash re-spec'ing for ZA, as I usually OT it and our prot pld MT's it. So I put 41 points in Fury and 20 points in Prot to maximize my viability, or so the concept went.

Now, my rotations sucked for the first two attempts as I got used to Rampage, and that's part of it. But on our boss fights, my DPS via recap at the end was 350, then 450, then finally when i got windfury only 550. I can do 800 dps devastating!...

Al'ar's Revenge, and a question about shields?

Posted 06-25-2008 at 05:33 PM by thugthedum
So we attacked TK this week with a new zeal, having downed three new bosses in two weeks ( which is an above average week for us) over the last little bit. We don't go to TK much; we're more in SSC these days but getting sick of it.

And we wiped four times to Al'ar, wasting our trash timer - and we called it a night, sadly. Ouch! Oh well, I'm sure we'll get him Thursday and get back to Void Reaver and Solarian shortly after. (Also, starting to feel like we're the only guild that's...

The Thrill of Progression

Posted 06-25-2008 at 11:43 AM by magnuss
I liked all the comments and info from my last blog i decided i would write another!

This time i want to talk about how much i am loving WoW at the moment. Right now my guild is on 4/5 MH and 5/9 BT and we just the other night managed to get that number 5 in BT, Gurtogg Bloodboil.

It has been almost 3 weeks since we killed Teron Gorefiend for the first time and the week after we killed him, we didnt have the raid attendance to even get to him in BT. Everything before...

PvPing for Tanking Gear

Once again, I find myself PvPing for tanking gear. My [item]Gladiator's Plate Shoulders[/item] will be replaced with [item]Merciless Gladiator's Plate Shoulders[/item] in approximately 8k honor and 22 AB marks.

It's not terribly much of an upgrade, but I figured "Why not?" Then I thought to myself "Hey, I could re-gem my S1 shoulders to actually be DPS shoulders." And then I further pondered "Hey, my DPS set has some blues that could be filled in with S2 gear,...

RL: South Africa revisited

Posted 06-25-2008 at 02:19 AM by Shorty
So some of you may know that I've been back to SA for a 2 week holiday, I returned to England yesterday with the weirdest sense of home-coming ever. I apologise if this blog is a bit of a ramble, but I'm just trying to make sense of feelings the trip back has caused. This is not meant to be pro- or anti-SA nor do I believe that the grass is always greener elsewhere.

Background

I was born in the UK to two white english parents who moved to SA in the mid 1980s, I did...
