Welcome to Northrend

So I logged into the WoW:WotLK beta last night and started a Death Knight (horde side). I honestly have to say it’s probably the best 2 levels of any MMO I have played. It shows almost every trick that Blizzard has learned over the last few years and has an amazing epic feel. Everything from [...]

Barring unforeseen taverns…

…I’m hoping to be in tonight and re-learning where all the keys are.
I take it by the tumbleweed blowing through the site there isn’t a plan to go prise Ashbringer from the Cold Dead Fingers of Kaeldusomeoneorother?
(I’d go and look it up but I’m not allowed to in here…)
I’ve not respecced yet, so could be [...]

I’m respeccing…

…once Wrath hits…

Someone else can roll a Death Knight tank
It does lead to some interesting possibilities though.  For levelling I probably will respec then spec back to tank for instances.  Unless being a tank while having two handed epic in each hand somehow becomes viable…

Kara attunement and you

After our splendid take downs of all those so-called bosses this week, I thought I’d better remind myself where in the Kara chain I actually was…
Rather surprisingly, I’ve done the Netherstorm quests to take me up to Breaking into the Arcatraz, so I’m further on than I’d expected.
This means I’m up for Tempest Keep next [...]

Murmur nothing but a quiet utterance

An amazingly successful run last night. Had a few wipes but they were mainly on Bosses. Overall it was a very well balanced group. With a good covering of ranged and melee damage, a great tank and off tank and a top healer.

Make me want to go and get my Kara Key even if [...]

Old Content – Onyxia’s Lair

Tonight, 3 of us started the quest chain to get attuned for Onyxia’s Lair:

It required a trip to LBRS which was quite fun (even if I did die once!!!). We noticed half way through that we needed the UBRS seal, since a trip to UBRS is required in the next few steps of the chain. [...]

Old Content

I notice that Naxx is being retired completely in it’s current form, it’s not a dungeon I’ve seen but it does look like it’s the first major 40 man instance to vanish.
I was thinking, since we are soon looking at being able to field more than 5 level 70s at a time, it might be [...]

It’s Tuesday!

So who wants to do something tonight?

Shadowlabs Insta-Redux Water Testing

I had so much fun in the labs on Tuesday that I want to do it again!
(OK, so there was the thing with the owl that had more HP than me, but I’m over that now…)
There’s an offchance I can make tomorrow night as I think I’m too old to go out 2 nights in [...]

Shadowlabs: Tuesday night (updated)

9pm ish.
Spak, Fon and one of Ant’s toons are pencilled in.
Will be interesting to see how different it is from last time, the epix count is now quite a bit higher.
(edit: Mike can’t make it, so we’re looking for a healer if possible… either that or I’m taking lots of pots along…)
