All the World’s a Stage: So you want to be an Engineer

This installment of All the World’s a Stage is the thirty-fifth in a series of roleplaying guides about how to roleplay various aspects of the lore and gaming elements of WoW.

Patch 3.2: Replenishment nerfed, MP5 buffed

Mana regeneration was a much-discussed area for change in patch 3.1, but when the patch went live, it turned out the changes hadn’t been all that massive; most healers are still not putting a high premium on regen stats or watching their mana bars too closely, fights like Vezax excluded.

Tuesday Morning Post: I believe I can fly at level 60 edition

New Tauren cat forms revealed

As you probably know by now if you play a druid, new feral form graphics are finally coming in patch 3.2. Druids will have their choice of five different versions for each race and form (bear/cat); what form you get corresponds to your hair color for Night Elves and your skin tone for Tauren, both [...]

Breakfast Topic: Which role is the hardest?

This is a pretty old post, and it’s a question that’s been asked before, but it’s still an interesting one: what’s the hardest role in a raid? Ghostcrawler says he doesn’t find one of the three roles (tanking, healing, and DPS) to be “hands down harder” than the others, although he does call tanking and [...]
