This post is something I try to stay away from when talking about WoW on the blog: personal. You’ve been warned, I tend to wax poetic when talking about myself. Early last week, my guild exploded. It’s never something a die-hard raider wants to hear, that their guild is dead. …More
Earlier this week Blizzard dropped a bomb: the Mists of Pandaria talent calculator is out in an extremely rudimentary form, and as Bashiok posted, we should expect this to change while providing constructive feedback for each class. The problem, however, is that rogues have no additions since Blizzcon, and in …More
Talents 2.0. That’s what Blizzard is calling their second revamp to the talent system in World of Warcraft. First unveiled at Blizzcon, there’s a lot of discussion over such a radical change to the system. First and foremost, this isn’t even Beta. Everything here will change, and if it doesn’t …More
With the announcement of the new World of Warcraft expansion, “Mists of Pandaria,” the inclusion of a rogue-specific legendary, some controversies at Blizzcon, and improvements to my ability to get publishing, Adrenaline Rushing is now relaunched! Check back this week for more analysis on preliminary MoP talents, preparation for a …More
Well, that’s it. I’m currently 7/7 Normal. It’s an amazing ride, but I spent last night rather, well bored. You see, the For Science raid schedule is a fairly standard 4 hours per day, 3 days per week. That served us very well during release content, but with 7 bosses …More
Well, today was the first day in Firelands. After poring over videos and dungeon journal information (I stayed off the PTR because my guild was busy getting our fancy drakes), we settled on going for the “easy kill” and knocking down Shannox. We figured after looking at L2R videos, and …More
The 20 Days of WoW blogging challenge, an idea for connecting the Warcraft blogging community, comes from Saga of Spellbound. Personal Note: The blog is not dead, I have been a bit frazzled. We’re back up with lots of fun stuff to post about ZA/ZG, 4.2, and being a troll, …More
The 20 Days of WoW blogging challenge, an idea for connecting the Warcraft blogging community, comes from Saga of Spellbound. This whole thing is about to get super real, because today I’m supposed to post a picture of my gaming desktop. Surprisingly, it’s clean. Yup, that’s my rig. Two displays, …More
The 20 Days of WoW blogging challenge, an idea for connecting the Warcraft blogging community, comes from Saga of Spellbound. Items and gear are part of what drives raiding. It’s about getting that one thing you desperately need, so that you can compete with the best of them and get …More
The 20 Days of WoW blogging challenge, an idea for connecting the Warcraft blogging community, comes from Saga of Spellbound. So, we’ve talked about my first day. And of course, I’ve talked about the best class. But now, we’re delving deep in to the brain cells for what should be …More
Mists of Pandaria: In which rogues become even more awesome.
It’s been a few months since any information about Mists of Pandaria came out of the woodwork. Yet, last week saw an update to the talent calculator and finally rogues have some celebrating to do. As I noted previously, before this last update, rogues looked to be in that shaky spot of “not enough info.” Some of us got scared, some angry, and I just went ‘meh’ as the guildies talked about all these awesome new abilities they saw. That has changed. First, as a Combat Rogue; I love haste. Attack speed is also cool, which means having a Survival Hunter, Enhancement Shaman, or Frost Death Knight in a raid becomes a nigh necessity when dealing with maximizing DPS. Mists …More
