People think...(paladin tanking)

Posted 05-26-2008 at 07:26 AM by Nicki
That paladin tanking is like the easiest thing in the world, I mean just spam consecration right?

I ask you take that simplistic narrow minded attitude away and think for a moment how many CCd mobs are there on trash packs making it hard to or impossible to consecrate or how about keeping single target threat as a paladin you literally have to spam everything off cd to even do a decent ammount of threat. Let alone factoring in that you will have to change gear if your dps is evenclose...

Resist gear? who needs resist gear?

So, for those of you tuning in, the guild that introduced me to kara, etc. and my current progression guild (4/5, 4/9) do a joint raid of SSC or TK (sometimes both) on saturdays. Tonight, we did an SSC night (5 x one shots, two phase 3 vashj wipes) and we had some entertaining highlights.

For starters, our nature tank was just flat out of his game tonight. Awesome tank usually, not sure what was going on but he was just having trouble with TPS and burst TPS in general. So, of course,...

Sunday Night

Posted 05-24-2008 at 08:31 PM by thugthedum

So the entire week's progress depends on Sunday night.

Sunday night, we'll get 25 people in their best equipment, hand them food, flasks, leadership and advice.

Being a Raid Leader isn't about killing bosses...

...and anyone who tells you it is hasn't done it long enough.

Being able to understand what each individual in your raid goes through and communicate with them effectively. Empathy doesn't mean that...

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (Season 3)

Posted 05-24-2008 at 01:54 PM by Kazeyonoma
Hey all,

First time posting a blog so bear with me if it's terribad. Just something I wanted to get off my chest.

If any of you know me around here, one of my greatest passions to this game is the PvP aspect of it and more importantly Arenas. I got started late in season 2, scrapping together a Deep Thunder which carried me into s3 with 4/5 s2 gear acquired with all the hopes and aspirations of being something great come season 3. I even had a good resto druid friend...
