Relative Stat Values in Rawr

Restoration Shaman Pawn Scale 3.2
I got around to doing some healing on my shaman when I was pulled into a Trial of the Champion run. That first run was just terrible as I really had no idea what I was doing. A little later … Continue reading
Game Over
One of the tricky things about MMOs is that there is no game over screen. Even the top players in the top guilds still have more to strive for. If your character has beaten all the top bosses and has … Continue reading
Cat Gearing
One of these days I may get around to leveling my druid to 80. When I get there, WoWInsider has a very thorough guide to Gearing your Cat Druid (part one and part two). My one caveat would be that … Continue reading
March Sadness
Doofy the Paladin is suffering from March Sadness. Progress has ground to a halt as their roster of raiders has disappeared. We’re in much the same situation with our guild alliance. Historically we’ve run 2-3 nights per week, but we’ve … Continue reading
Healing on a Shaman
With my shaman at 80, I now need to figure out how to heal with a shaman. The only thing I’ve healed with him is Karazhan at 70 and things have changed since then. I’ve managed to get a lot … Continue reading
How to be a better tank
Shalandra at Tank Hard! has a post on How to be a better tank . The points she raises are very good ones. I find that situational awareness is one of the biggest failings of new tanks. This has led … Continue reading
Heirloom Items for Clothies
If ever I decide to transfer and level my priest, I may go this route and Level a Priest / Warlock / Mage in style. Here’s a list of heirloom items. I would probably get the cloth set first as … Continue reading

Flame Shock has a roundup of : Resto gear guides for Heroics and Naxxramas in case I level my shaman and decide I want to heal with him. Right now my shaman is the toon I’d be most interested in … Continue reading
Ret Paladin
I’m thinking of taking my paladin ret. I don’t like tanking with her as much as I do on my warrior and right now our guild alliance has a surfeit of tanks. I don’t think I’d raid or even instance … Continue reading
So You Want to Rip Some Face?
Karthis has a guest post on Resto4Life covering druid cat form DPS, So You Want to Rip Some Face?. I really like the way he’s gone through the stats and broken down the important ones to show why and when … Continue reading
Bear Tanking Specs and Gear Pre-Naxx
My druid is only 71 or so (and he’s only that high due to doing dailies), but if I decide to tank with him Big Bear Butt Blogger has me covered with Bear Tanking Specs and Gear Pre-Naxx.
Character Tracker
WoWProgress has a Possible Transferred/Renamed Characters Tracker. I was looking for this tool earlier and couldn’t find it. If you don’t want to be tracked when you transfer, you may want to look at changing as much about your character … Continue reading
Pawn Scales for Wrath
Here are the Pawn scales I’m using for my toons in Wrath of the Lich King. As always, Pawn is for quick comparisons, not for squeezing every last point out of your gear. Read Skeleton Jack’s post on Pawn for … Continue reading
Tank Gemming in Wrath
Orly Factor – Tank Gemming in Wrath, my experiences seems to match what I’ve seen. Now I need to get some gear with gem slots on it (or at least modify my own gear to provide gem slots).
Do you care about PvP anymore?
Matthew Rossi asks, Do you care about PvP anymore? He describes how he went from doing some PvP in classic WoW, less in Burning Crusade to not doing any in Wrath. I’ve found that as I played Warcraft more I … Continue reading
I Hate Rep Grinds
Someone put this much more poetically a few months back but by the time I hit exalted with a faction, I hate their guts. It seems to me that every rep ding should be accompanied by a note saying how … Continue reading
