Icecrown… new instances..
So the plan for tonight (and other non-raiding nights) is to beat the hell out of Icecrown. So Bucanneers, gird your loins, pay your repair bills, sell something to pay for the incoming repair bills (for they will hurt). We need to beat the hell out of the new instances (and by the gods they…

Team Meatgrinder
Take two DKs (one heavy blood, the other split blood/unholy), take Hellfire, the Overlord, 63G3, the DKs are both 60. If I’d had mark of blood cool before starting to hit him I think I’d have survived, either way he’s dead. I wonder when that nerfbat is coming. Oh it doesn’t matter whether he’s a…

Evil Korenwolf
Trouserleg of time job, Korenwolf & Kaylad have pushed through to 80, they’re Paladins, they’re a good team…however… a year ago in an alternate universe the Lich King got one up on them during the scourge invasion and raised them to be part of his army. So I present… Evil Korenwolf He’s busy levelling with…

Team Multifish
A good solid run, ok there were wipes but we had some undergeared players on the run (this is a good thing they got shinies), Gormok went down on the third attempt, Demon dude one shotted, bumped into the champions for a number of attempts until we got the dps focused enough (including the healers)…

Tiers in Wrath
Someone commenting on the wow.com thread about the new LFG system nailed down how gearing and tiers are working in Wrath. “Gear progression is now a three-“tier” system. Tier 1 is one raid behind, like Conquest emblems now. Anyone can get Tier 1 for running heroics. Tier 2 is current raid, normal mode. You have…

Update (or a Shammie is born)
Unferth continues to have face slammed into the floor by the beasts on heroic mode. Progress is being made, p1 is being cleared cleanly most of the time and p2 is improving, we are seeing a lot more of Icehowl. The next check is the dps rate to beat the timer. Korenwolf has his drake,…

Raiding – Preparation
Hopefully a short series of posts, partly triggered by my own experiences of joining a 25-man progression alliance, a Guildie joining for a trial and random ponderings. So, you’ve decided that raiding is going to be your thing, you’ve committed to spending some of the hours which previous have been dedicated to questing, playing the…

A lesson in shooting yourself in the foot
Nadine Dorries was on the radio earlier whining on about the current part of the expenses scandal and came out with the line that this is just like a tax code being changed and retrospectively applied for several years. So her argument is that financial matters such as tax and expenses shouldnt’ have any form…

Cataclysm tea leaves
3.3 PTR goes live (Oct 2nd), for a patch this size I reckon 4-6 weeks of testing before it hits the live. So we’re looking at Icecrown being live by mid-November, so that’s our Christmas content for everyone except the uber-l33t progression guilds who will have Arthas nailed in the first day. I hope they…

3.3
I was in the middle of writing a post pondering on whether 3.3 was going to be hitting the PTR very soon. Pity it’s still in draft, I think it’s been somewhat overtaken by events overnight. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html
