So You Want to Buy a Car.

Posted 10/18/11 at 12:54 AM by Nayt
You just hit a deer, got promoted at work, won the lottery or are going through a mid-life crisis. Guess what? Time to buy a new car. Right?

I live in Mid-Missouri and work for a large, new age, high tech and successful automotive group....our website is okay too. Corwin Jefferson City, MO Auto Dealer Group

A little about me:
This is a quick guide, based off my experiences as someone who has been in customer service for 15 years, a nerdy consumer and lived...

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...

The Failure of Cataclysm

Posted 09/13/11 at 1:17 PM by emptyrepublic
This has been cross posted on my blog at wordpress.com.

Some people might call this post a troll, but I mean it very seriously. I think by most objective measures World of Warcraft: Cataclysm can be classified as a failure.

Fixing Rogues, Part 4: AoE

Posted 09/01/11 at 7:29 PM by Aldriana
Today I’d like to discuss rogue AoE. Its sort of a tricky subject, as its not that our AoE at current is precisely bad - in fact, Combat has quite possibly the strongest cleave in the game, and Assassination sustained AoE on large packs is quite strong as well. However, despite these clear strengths, our AoE as a whole is poorly designed and needs significant reworking.

The first problem is the large discrepancy between specs. Assassination is quite respectable at (some times...

Fixing Rogues, Part 3: Cycle Complexity

Posted 08/21/11 at 8:19 PM by Aldriana
In parts 1 and 2 of this series, I’ve provided fairly concrete suggestions for changes that should be made - specific changes to specific abilities that address specific problems that the class is having. And I have a fairly good-sized list of such proposals remaining; I could go several more weeks posting that sort of thing, and at the end of it the class would probably be better off than it is now. But having thought about it for a few weeks, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do....
