If you like WoW, you're an idiot.

Posted 08/26/10 at 7:56 PM by JamesVZ
I had a friend that played WoW back in vanilla that just so happened to lead one of the top 10 guilds in the world. His guild was at the forefront of the raiding scene for a very long time, tackling every piece of content delivered with extreme efficiency and then some. The guild was geared towards making the raid more efficient -- this is the nature of a high end raiding guild. The guild bank, the leadership, everything, and they did it at a level that very few could emulate. In a time where...

Fixing Rogues, Part 5: Filler

Posted 09/24/11 at 7:36 PM by Aldriana
When Blizzard redid the talent trees for Cataclysm, a major part of the design was the notion of filler points - that is, a max level rogue, in filling out any of the three trees, will spend most of their points on obviously essential talents, but have a few leftover to spend according to personal preference. From a PvE perspective, this usually means that there are a handful of talents that do not increase personal DPS, but provide a variety of survivability or utility tools. And its a good idea...

My Life in Two Pages

Posted 10/30/09 at 12:24 AM by DeeNogger
On September 10th I turned 24 years of age. Twenty-four years and nine months before that, my parents had sex and I was conceived. I spent the first part of my life adjusting to the world around me and biting my older brother. I evolved, with time, to learn how to crawl, walk, talk, make doody in the toilet, and cope with my emotions. I learned that crying when I dont get what I want is an inappropriate response. I learned that some things in life will always be closed to me and some things in life...

Rogue DPS, Ramp-up Time, and Burst

Posted 05/27/11 at 7:05 PM by Aldriana
As I alluded to here, the current state of Rogue DPS is something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately; I gave a preview of the top level conclusions here. To paraphrase: I think there's three things ailing rogues right now. First, ranged is just plain better than melee. Second, our burst and target-swapping abilities suck. And finally, our sustained DPS is perhaps a bit too low.

That said: I think Blizzard's change is a (spectacularly boring, but nevertheless) reasonable...

Serious Casual: What the hell happened here

Posted 03/14/08 at 12:10 PM by Nite_Moogle
Hello friends - I am Nite_Moogle. If you have been reading EJ's public forums for some time you may remember some of my posts regarding enhancement shamans that pre-dated the current compendium. I have more or less retreated from the public forums since there isn't much for me to add to the current understanding of game mechanics. About a year ago, I was part of a guild on Garona that was doing very early TBC raiding. I'd rerolled a Paladin at TBC release, only to discover I hated it at 70 and I...
