Counting down the days now till WotLK and following the presidential election. Got stuck in trade chat last night as I was posting my Herbs on the AH (TY TY TY for inscription jacking up the prices - I post mine at WAY less and always sell). Anyways, about trade chat...It was on fire with poli-talk. Man, oh, man was it rabid. I ended up posting, grabbing a bat, and flying out of TB to log so I

Resetting the blog soon. Once WotLK comes out, I'm going to aim at getting my RP/Lore/Tactics built around the Death Knight class.Debating as to whether it will be a new toon or whether Orkwar will succumb to the Dark Side.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm writing this to collect my thoughts on HOW to tank with a Warrior.The WoW Official Forums are alight with the fires of mutiny. Each day, a new post is created debating the Warrior's ability to tank vs that of the "others."I'll just come right out and say that anyone who posts against Ciderhelm is already fighting an uphill battle (just because it's Cider...

I'm working on an Origins story for both Neb and Orkwar. I've gotten all it down to paper - no edits yet, just a basic story.Problem is, the beast rolls in at 23 pages long! AND I want add more!Wow, don't know if I can post this one to the blog site. If you want a copy, e-mail me. Otherwise, I MIGHT be posting bits and pieces, breaking it up into chewable bites.Hey, if I stretch it right,

The first thing he noticed was the smell.There are many things you can learn from just sniffing the air. Train the sense well enough and you can smell anything.Orkwar smelled a Demon. But not just any old Demon, he smelled a Pit Lord.All Orcs know the smell of a Pit Lord. It is something etched into their brain. Even if they have never smelled one before, the scent carries nothing but pure,

I once overheard a Mage discussing the actual workings of teleportation. She said she used a little, green frog. She would place the little guy on a pedestal on one side of the room and move him to the next through a small portal. She watched him closely, she said. So close, she saw the actual working of her portal.. She saw the frog torn apart. It worked in segments – first the moisture and hair

Of Rend Fate: Orkwar glanced around the corner, the Alliance were still coming. There were 3 of them. Orkwar heard the Hunter call to his pet in Darnassian. Orkwar spoke little of the language but knew the sounds. He glanced back around the corner. The Human had disappeared. The pet for the Hunter was a translucent cat. It sniffed in his direction. He watched long enough to see the Hunter notch

Over the flu. Woot!So I've been running around Hellfire Peninsula acting all cool and stuff and I've finally gotten some gear to show for it. I've filled my head, my shoulders, my back, my chest, my wrist, my waist, my waist, my DW Axes, and my shield.I'm feelin' pretty good so far. That just leaves my - NeckHandsFeetRing x 2Trinket x 2for me to fill up. Not too shabby at only level 60.

I've had the flu the last couple of days so the posting has really slowed down. On top of that, my midterm for the the 70-271 exam is coming up and I need to start studying there in RL.Otherwise, I jumped onto WoW to tank my first Outlands instance. We wiped hard on the last boss in Ramparts. The Paly we had as a healer was spec'd Prot but the group leader had him being our Main Healer. We

I broke down. I went to Outlands at 58. I know, I know. I said I'd wait to 60.SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I DIDN'T!Believe the rumors and whispers. Outlands has streets paved of gold. Gear falls from the heavens. Fel Reavers CAN sneak up on you. 10 Stories of sheer pwning with, I swear, a BLINK SPELL!I took all kinds of screen shots.

So, Banee and I were in Winterspring slaughtering some Yetis and Owlbear/beast things. Who knew they carried such great shields?Skullflame ShieldOh yes. I went and slapped a +18 STA on it.

Veneretio over at TankingTips has a great article on how to start getting gear once you hit 70.Since I'm gonna do 60-70 as a full Prot spec, I wanted to build a list of things to start accumulating as soon as you head through the Dark Portal. I chose to stick to instances for now. I might branch out to quest rewards later.First off is Hellfire Citadel: Hellfire RampartsLoot:-- Neck:

Plus, lots of those apes do this thing:Annoying Ape bangs on his chest, calling for help.Then I'd have a 3v1 and I'm on the losing streak. I realized I couldn't horde (haha) my money. I have to keep my Pots stacked. So, here's a break down of the 50+ pots I need to carry.Potions:

Why?! WHYWHYWHY??!?I logged into Neb this weekend. Things died. Orkwar can kills things, too. But Neb just has this FINESSE about it. I mean, he send Ramboar out, thing dies, on to the next. I don't even have to think about it!With Orkwar, I punch something and it punches me back. All that punching costs me gold too. I think it comes out to around 67c each time I take a hit. And if I

My big question I'm struggling with - For a Hybrid build, do you spend the points in TM or Flurry?With TM, you can switch from a full Rage bar to any stance with 25 Rage. Enough for Spell Reflect. Without TM, no Spell Reflect.But, you lose Flurry. I've heard a lot of talk about Flurry and I spec'd for it for a while and it procs pretty much all the time. I'd only be able to get 3 points into it

I just wanted to send a shout-out to a couple of people I've grouped with who've made the experience great.1) Antje - my wife's warlock. Yes, I get frustrated. Yes, we have different playstyles. Yes, I still have a great time when we're on and you get excited about seeing something new or when you level. It's pretty nifty.2) Banee - Druid who does it all. I have no clue how to play a druid
