Dragon Colours Matter and Pewter revisits RealID

Is Halion Pink or Purple? That’s what I want to know! The argument has kept my guild busy between pulls. The purple and pink factions get very passionate about their debate matter, it gets quite heated and there is blood, tears and broken gear before bed time. I enjoyed the fight. I know a lot of people are /yawning at it, and it has already been beaten by many people, but in my guild we’ve learned to take things at our own pace. We’re a large bunch of friends having fun doing content together, and while we have some...

Ruby Sanctum – 3.3.5 Loot for Elemental Shaman

May 21, 2010

We only have the normal loot table at the moment,  and the full table is available at MMO Champion as always. For Elemental Shaman specifically there are three items that we will be ‘gunning for’. Along with, of course, a pair of leather bracers that will have us squabbling with the druids. The items compare fairly well, although all the maths here is based on ZAP and my current set up. Charred Twilight Scale Cloak of Burning Dusk Split Shape Belt Phaseshifter’s Bracers Charred Twilight Scale (il 271) So I’m not a mathematical theorycrafter. I’m someone who digs in...

AVR is Dead. Long Live the Bossmod

May 21, 2010

I don’t think it will be the only addon that breaks in 3.3.5, but all those who called it that Blizz would disable this mod should give themselves a pat on the back. I wrote about it last month, and I still believe that the addon does less to hamper the situational awareness of those who like the challenge, than it does to stop raid groups being held back by that friend who is otherwise wonderful but has difficulty distinguishing green abilities in a green room. This is a notice that we’re making changes in 3.3.5 in attempts to...

3.3.5 Hits the PTR and I’m getting intimate with defile

May 11, 2010

Yesterday I got my first chance to have a look at the Lich King. I’m one of those people who isn’t all that interested in 10 mans, and on 25 man we are behind the curve and working on Sindragosa (Normal). I signed up for a 10 man on Monday night, expecting to be left out when low and behold I was in the line up. Cue a frantic 24 hours where I try to read every strat known to man, watch about 10 videos, and slowly wibble into a pile of wibbly ineffective goo. Did I say I...
