Wrath Plans

Posted 10-31-2008 at 08:01 AM by Caulle
Was playing lots of Fable 2 last week, now into Fallout 3 this week, and I can't wait for Wrath in 2 weeks. Well, aside from the fact that my store that's having the midnight opening is in a strip mall which means standing outside at 11:00. Not to mention we got 2 inches of snow the other day already and it looks like we're headed towards another snow filled winter again this year. Crytime.

I'm wicked excited for Wrath. The Warhammer novelty is fading. The PVP is great, but I...

Thoughts about professions

So, after the long introduction to myself here the first tank-oriented post from me.

At first my warrior is blacksmith. He always was and probably always will be. He acquired so many recipes and plans pre-BC and in BC it couldn't unlearn it. Foolish I know but to my pleasure BS seems to be useful in WotLK with the sockets for waist, wrists and hands.

So the first profession is blacksmithing. At the moment my second profession is mining which I relearned with patch-3.0...

BT Experiences

Now I know BT has been nerfed and we've got lots of new toys to play with, but last night before our BT run I was incredibly nervously excited (as those in the shoutbox would have experienced) it has been months since I was last in BT and having only ever seen Naj and Supremus my brain was spinning with strategies, abilities and movies of Akama, Bloodboil and Gorefiend - I stopped at this point as RoS abilities just confused me!

So we kick off at the appointed time, with me as second...

Confidence while tanking

Posted 10-30-2008 at 03:10 PM by Hurmeli
I used to tank very cautiously when I started in Outland. Instances were new, I was unsure and didn't know what the mobs were like. I used to ask the other players how they usually handled each fight and I marked everything up, used CC but in general got the party through unscathed.

Now I like fast paced instance runs and 90% of the time things go very smoothly and fast. Unless I'm packing a undergeared healer, I don't usually bother with crowd control. This is of course somewhat up...
