There are lots of different measures for lots of different things when it comes to Warcraft. Some are obvious like logs and meters while others are a bit more subtle. I’m going to share a little secret here about one of the things I look for when rogues put in an application to Ladies of [...]

Ah the ever changing landscape of an MMO. With every new major and minor patch these days it seems each class can expect something that comes along to affect them either directly or indirectly. A long time ago classes didn’t change much, you’d get a class review once in a blue moon but that’s about [...]

Gaming phrases are all over the place, some are good and some are bad but most are trying to convey something in a way that the reader will remember.

Expose Armor is learned early on as a rogue, in fact you learn it before you can learn (buy?) any poisons. At this point many writers might go into some history lesson about how there used to be different ranks, it stacked, and could be more powerful than Sunder Armor. That is all the past [...]
