Downranking is going down the drain

Downranking is a technique used by players to gain some mana efficiency by using lower ranks of spells. Currently this is effective since spells have fixed mana costs and each rank gets more expensive as it goes up. This way it makes sense to use something that costs less when you don’t need the effect […]

Professions: Looking Back To Inspire The New

The latest information about the professions for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion reminds me of the saying “we need to know where we’ve been to know where we’re going”. This is usually used as an explanation about why we need to study history but it’s true even for video games. We’ve seen Blizzard […]

Some interesting and odd additions to Tailoring for WoTLK

Tailoring has been a very good profession for clothies ever since the game came out and even much more so in the Burning Crusade expansion. The Spellfire, Frozen Shadoweave and Primal Mooncloth specializations have given tailor warlocks, mages and priests a very good set that can start them off into the world of raiding and […]

More Debuff Slots For WoTLK

I remember the good old days of pre-TBC when the debuff slots were maxed at 40 and raid leaders were getting mad at certain classes for using an ability that would knock out important debuffs and like sunder armor of the list. We don’t have that problem anymore since TBC came with a significant increase […]

Reduced Mana Costs In WoTLK

A mage guildie of mine seems to have noticed an increase in the mana cost of his fireball ever since the last patch. Since I don’t play my mage much anymore and when I do I do not cast fireball, I don’t really know if my guildie is right or it’s just his imagination. Anyway, […]

Tauren Contemplates Over Pork

I recently got a mage friend to port my level 37 Tauren druid to Shattrath City so I could set my hearth stone there for easier travel. I decided to use the scryer inn since it’s the one I’m used to now and also the fall from the ledge off Scryers Tier isn’t fatal. As […]

WoW Built In Threat Meter Available In Beta

I already told you about my friend who doesn’t really use add-ons and never does much of the group stuff like dungeons, raids or even pvp. The most he does is group with people for daily quests. Well the other day, he asked me about what add-ons I use so I told him I use […]
