Holy Priest PVE So if Blizzard had decided that ONLY inscriptionists could create Dust of Disappearance they would make a fortune from me on our server.  Each night before a raid I buy a stack of 20 to make sure I do not run out due to the fact that I reglyph numerous times throughout [...]

Raiding in Cataclysm has definitely been interesting. Blizzard decided that they were going to take away how effective our AoE healing was but made many encounters that were dependent on major tank/raid damage. I am by no means complaining just stating the fact that you need to become more resourceful on how an encounter works [...]

This is the tanking best in slot list for tier 11, excluding heroic raid content. Please note that I chose to ignore the tier pieces, as 10% more damage on lacerate is laughable, and 6 extra seconds on survival instincts is not particularly awesome either. However if you feel as you need those 6 extra [...]

With the upcoming release of patch 4.0.6 there’s been a lot of changes in regards to gameplay, mechanics and balance both on both PvE and PvP scenarios. For this blog I’ll focus on the tanking changes as well as mention some basic tips to help out players who are not as familiar with the class [...]

One thing that I love about World of Warcraft is that there are constant debates on all range of topics everywhere you look. Here I’ll address and give my opinion on several issues facing the moonkin community that I find interesting at the moment. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes [...]

It’s been quite a while since my last Drunken Retnoob blog post.  To get back into the swing of things, I think I’ll copy the format of my previous Captain Heroic’s Guide to Gearing Up a Ret Paladin, and update it for a Cataclysm version.  At this point, we’re all Captain Heroics, relying on 5 [...]

Following Meafor’s lead, I have also decided to help out my fellow Moonkins by doing a little research in pre-raiding gear for Cataclysm. I’ve listed several options for most gear slots so one can have the flexibility to play around with different stats (i.e. whether your hit capped or not) and whether you have the [...]

It all began on December 3. I was incredibly bored waiting for Cataclysm, and my real life friends dragged me to a LAN party that somehow extended up until monday. I spent all the weekend playing awesome games such as Age of Empires 2, Call of Duty MW2, League of Legends for hours non stop! [...]

This list has been updated for patch 4.0.6! The first thing you need to consider when making gear choices is your own professions. Are you an engineer? a leatherworker? a blacksmith? a jewelcrafter? Can you afford to buy the materials to get the crafted gear? The second thing is to prioritize reputation gains. Several factions [...]

Cataclysm Beta is almost finished, and at this point we can only expect minor tweaks to coefficients or other minor stuff. So I believe it is time to talk a bit about feral druids and my opinion on the cataclysm changes and how they are going to affect feral druids on the PvE scenario. Sadly [...]
