*Orcs* are hot in plate. The title of my blog and also the secondary reason for making an orc warrior in the first place! Sure, they may be the ultimate warrior race but damn do they look good in heavy armor.

My warrior saw an early retirement that I regret. As much fun as swapping to my balance turned kitty druid to level from 70 was, it just doesn't match playing my warrior.

So some friends of mine came back to WoW with Cataclysm's announcement, and I would love to...

So I'm going to have a DPS spec as my secondary. It just seems like the most intelligent and progression-minded option. Regardless of whether the guild wants to call me a main tank, there are encounters the Death Knight or Paladin tanks are definitely better suited for.

(Edit: My friend tore me up for not including druids in that last sentence! No disrespect to the bear tanks intended! Our guild just has no active feral tanks at the moment. )

That is all besides...

And if it has fallen far enough to leave my guild.

So what do you do when it feels like your guild leadership is making a string of poor and perhaps questionable decisions? My slowly changing work schedule was something I was willing to work around, but in the past few weeks, I haven't found much to agree with my leaders on.

My big one? Guild alliances are trash. Since I started playing this game, I have been a member of one successful alliance... Well, partially successful....

The last post I made to my blog was about how Malygos was going to nuke my raid in phase 3. I don't want to say I told you so, but after some practice and nailing the positioning and spark management, we were able to reach phase 3 in...

So we're going to make our first Malygos attempt this week. We were going to do it last week, but we want our very best for the first time and too many people were having schedule conflicts. I'm not worried about my tanking, and for good measure I'll be particularly cheery and confident in the Naxx raid the night before Maly. I'm not worried about the healers - they're competent and always focused. I'm not worried about the DPS, as we are taking our most solid people. The raid leader is knowledgeable...
