Midsummer Screenshot Madness

Today’s screenshots are all influenced in some way by the Midsummer Fire Festival. Midsummer is one of my favourite festivals, combining as it does faster levelling for alts and a reason to visit far flung locations. Running around picking up flames on all my characters has given me lots of chances to visit old familiar places, taking [...]

On a bicycle made for two

The other morning whilst browsing my favourite mini pet site I learnt that the rather flimsy looking gates of Zul’Aman no longer needed a party of five to knock them down. Naturally being a rather squishy cloth wearing type, soloing was out of the question but what a hunter can solo,  a warrior and priest can most [...]

Utgarde Pinnacle

This is definately one of my favourite WotLK instances. Slightly gothic, very dirty and cobweb filled castle, check. Zombie attendents including awesome ones who turn into wolves, check. Sexy Vrykul women, check Appearance of the Lich King (what self respecting castle would be without him), check Besides I love the principle of it. We invade [...]

It takes two baby, it takes two

One of the reasons I enjoy playing WoW so much is the clear progression you can see in your character. As you advance both through levels or tiers of content you (nerfs not withstanding) become stronger, things become easier and its obvious that you are moving forwards. Now I’ve mentioned before that the Gnomeling and [...]

How to conquer the Old Kingdom

Its our first attempt at a video, so most of the editing is non existent. http://crackle.com/c/Trailers/Heroic_Old_Kingdom_2_man/2432266 Recommend watching it full screen by clicking on the icon at the top right corner. Its also played back at 4x speed as otherwise it would be longer than Titanic. A couple of points: Notice the 50k spell reflects, [...]

The Party’s Over

Or how to 2 man Prince Taldaram on heroic as a holy priest/prot warrior combo. You need a couple of things: Patience: Its going to take a while. Our first kill took us 14 minutes and 52 seconds, our second was around 11 minutes something. Stamina: You need enough health to survive the full Embrace [...]

Molten Core melted

Where once it took 40 heroes, now it takes 2 slightly less heroic types. Techinically Lylia could probably have done it solo since all I did was stand 40 yards away tapping my foot.. prot warriors need more DPS. Magmadar proved similiarly easy, its hard to believe our MT who happily smashed his way through [...]

Dragonslayers

Heroic Nexus

As a direct result of a drink and anger fueled Horde Hunting spree at around 5am on the morning of the 1st we ended up in Coldarra. Since there was a distinct lack of Horde, we were looking for other things to do and the idea of 2 manning at least the first boss in [...]

Weaken the Ramparts

Feeling over confident due to our success 2 manning normal instances we hit Heroic Ramparts last night. I know its not much, but the Lyloid has 6 days played full stop and isnt exactly well geared so we really werent sure if we would manage even the first trash pack. All in all it went [...]
