Burn Baby Burn

Spellsteal is addictive, also my Mage is now level 80 which makes her my eighth character to reach the level cap. That rankwatch addon is almost as bad as gearscore in the annoying stakes. The next person who whispers me and says that I’m using the wrong rank of rejuvenation, renew or anything else is [...]

The curious case of the missing tick

I was playing around with WoWhead’s Cataclysmic data and I noticed something horrible. Renew on the beta only lasts 12 seconds down from the 15 it is on live. A quick check of rejuvenation indicated the same thing, the level 85 rank has a 12 second duration. If this goes live, it seems as if [...]

Can you guess the location of the bottom two pictures?

Wintergrasp Blues

I’m really beginning to loathe Wintergrasp, not because it has vehicles in it, or because it’s on a timer but because of the imbalance. My server is high population but the Horde definitely outnumber the Alliance, possibly by as many as three to one. Of the Alliance, although there are still plenty of us, most [...]

Crocolisk Dreams

The one thing I really want from Cataclysm is a crocolisk mount. Just like this one. No silly armour or saddles, just a plain, scaly crocolisk. Uldum would be the perfect place to introduce them, all that sand and Egyptian theme. Obviously I’ll settle for a camel but my heart’s really set on a crocolisk.

The Tale of Lyloid

Earlier this week, or possibly last week, Apple wrote about characters with gimmicks or quirks. So go and read her post if you haven’t already. Lyloid (who is Mr Harpy’s alter ego) has been around for a while and I’d been wondering about how best to blog about the little creature. Thank you Apple for helping to clear [...]

Sunday Screenshots – Into the Mist

This is my favourite part of the Borean Tundra. I love the eye of the storm effect and because you rarely if ever find any other players doing these quests, it’s always peaceful. A Naga Temple with a statue to Queen Azshara inside. A closer view of the statue because I love the Medusalike look [...]

The Many Flavours of Polymorph

Besides Blink my main reason for rolling a Mage in the first place was a certain spell called Polymorph. In fact my addiction is so bad, I’m secretly hoping that Blizzard keep their promise about the Cataclysm dungeons needing CC and lots of it. Anyway, polymorph comes in multiple flavours. The common or garden variety sheep. All [...]

Grumbles

Out of all the Paladin tanks that my little Mage has seen through the Looking for Group tool, 98 percent have been allergic to Righteous Fury. They don’t buff it at the start and when it’s absence is pointed out and they put it on, they don’t rebuff it when it falls off. Of course, [...]

Spot the Difference

My Mage hit 58 tonight and I finally realised what was bugging me about her. Here she is outside the Dark Portal and here she is again, questing in Duskwood at around lv 28. That’s a difference of 30 levels and yet she looks exactly the same. Yes, her health and mana have increased and [...]
