Hunter Transmog Complete

I’ve been working on my Hunter set for what feels like forever now.  Every piece i was looking for I’ve had for months and months now except one.  The dreaded Golden Bow of Quel’Thalas from Sunwell Plateau had been eluding me .  After 14 weeks of terrible RNG, the damn bow finally dropped for me which completed my transmog set.  What other

Pumpkin Rider

What better way to celebrate my first Hallow’s End than riding around on my new Horde chopper?  Eat your heart out Ghost Rider.  This is how you do it in style.  At least as much style as an Orc can have i suppose. Good thing i can cover up all that ugly with a giant pumpkin.  Yes it’s loud and

Blasted Lands Snoozefest

With The Iron Tide pre-patch came a new quest chain in The Blasted Lands by the Dark Portal. Being as this is my first “event’ in WoW, i was left really disappointed with the rather lackluster content leading into the expansion.  The most exciting aspect of my entire time doing these mundane kill quests was actually having to deal with

Squished!

The one aspect i was looking forward to the most with patch 6.0.2 that dropped today was the stat squish.  The explosion in numbers got completely out of hand and started to influence raid design and mechanics.  I mean how many bosses did we have to take to 0% multiple times per encounter just to cope with the old system?

Five’s A Charm

With 6.0 around the corner, i was frantically trying to finish off my fifth and final legendary cloak. Well it happened just in time for my Shaman after a few weeks of horrible luck.  I say final because there’s no way in hell i’m doing another one of these quests in this expansion.  I’ve never been more sick of a

R.N.G. Gods

With Warlords of Draenor only a month and a half away, I’ve been trying to farm myself an account bound normal weapon off Garrosh for as many characters as i can.  As per my usual luck, it hasn’t gone so well over these last few months.  While they were supposed to be around a 10% drop chance, i was getting

Art Hits Level Ten

When someone asks me what type of art style i prefer, i can now just point to ArcheAge.  That right there is what i long for in an MMO.  It hits the perfect balance of realism and style for me without going over the top in any one direction.  Is it perfect?  Of course not, and i don’t think any

QueueAge

It never ceases to amaze me how so many players seem to go through a new MMO launch as if it were their first.  The never ending cries of queue this and queue that, fail this and fail that.  In the immortal words of Terry Tate office linebacker “that ain’t nothing new baby.”  Every new MMO launch I’ve been a

Unholy DK Weak Auras

I thought i’d share my incredibly simple yet extremely useful Weak Auras 2 strings i created for my Unholy Death Knight.  These are by no means perfect and, as with any UI related modification, they’re a work in progress and never final.  These get the job done for me and my play style while remaining as clutter free as possible.

Neck Deep

Oh the joys of playing a new race and discovering new and interesting animations.  I’ve become so used to playing a blood elf at this point that i assumed every race had a standard pose or animation when it came to hitching a ride on an albatross on Timeless Isle.  Boy was i wrong!  I had a good chuckle for
