BETA: New glyphs for healing Priests

The latest crop of healing Priest glyphs have finally made it onto the beta and can be purchased from everyone’s favourite oversized Tauren in the Temple of the Jade Serpent. I have to say I’m not impressed. I wish I was, I really do but they’re either massively situational (i.e. require you to be dead!), [...]

“Maybe you’ve heard of a terrible place”: The Black Market

Maybe you’ve heard of a terrible place Where the soundrels of Paris Collect in a lair When I first read about the forthcoming “Black Market”, my initial gut instinct was “Nooooooo!” but as I thought about it, my opinion shifted. To explain why, I want to start by talking about what might end up being for sale [...]

BETA: Glyph of the Heavens

The current beta build (15657) brought Priests our first cosmetic minor glyph. Glyph of  the Heavens – Your Levitate targets will appear to be riding on a cloud for the duration of the spell. Well would you have your eyes open if you were standing on a cloud? The cloud is dynamic which is a [...]

Account-wide achievements and an end to blank slates.

Some graphical glitches are creepier than the rest. Not sure whether it’s her lack of eyes or the fact that her entire body seems have been dipped in plaster of Paris. Either way, I know I’d be running in the opposite direction. Account-wide achievements seem to be semi working in the current Beta build and [...]

BETA: Weaving the Mist – healing from a Monk’s perspective (lv 11 to 45)

First of all, I’m not going to cover levels 1 through 10 because Tzufit has already done  a great job of doing that, which can be found here. Secondly this is going to concentrate a bit more on PvPish things because well, I’m a ganker at heart. So you rolled a Monk, reached lv 10 [...]

BETA: The Tillers

This is part idle speculation and part extrapolation from the datamined information from WoWhead. What we do know is that as you build reputation with the Tillers, helping Farmer Yoon repair his old family farm, you will eventually take it over. First however, we have to help Farmer Yoon get the farm back on it’s feet and then gain [...]

In which I attempt to get organized!

Inspired by the amazingly organised Godmother, I’m attempting to prepare as best I can for MoP whilst I have some free time. I realise this post itself could be seen as a form of procrastination but I do work better from lists (honest!). Dulcamara 1. Reach lv 75 so I can have a Shivarra. 2. Level [...]

BETA: Spectral Guise

I want to like this ability, I really do but I’m struggling to find anything positive at all to say about it. Regardless of whether you consider it in the light of PvP or PvE it has several obvious flaws. White hits count towards the three hits. Thus fast hitting classes like rogues break you out [...]

BETA Screenshots – A Farmer’s Life for Me

When Blizzard first mentioned player farms, I have to admit I wasn’t that sold (until they tacked on farmhouses at any rate). However now that the Valley of the Four Winds is open for questing and exploring, my opinion is definitely changing. When I was a student, I did more than my fair share of [...]

Transmogrification Picks – Wands

With wands moving to the main-hand slot in Mists, there is no time like the present to start collecting the best looking ones. I have to admit I’m excited about this change because so many of the wands have amazing graphics and are far better than the one-handed maces/daggers/swords we cloth wearing casters have access [...]
