The most common questions arising from my blog post a few days ago about Elemental & 3.1 have been about Glyphs, and Totems. There's still some confusion about how some of these work, so I'm going to try to clear these up.

To begin, I need to make one point clear. Anything affecting Lava Burst has a reduced dps effectiveness in comparison to something affecting Lightning Bolt, Flame Shock, or stats in general. Assuming that you have Glyph of Flame Shock (more on that later), a typical...

Make like Van Halen and just...jump....

I was going to open this blog post by saying that PitBull must obviously be the most popular UnitFrame addon available, but it looks like xperl has about 3 million more downloads than Pitbull (of course, that might be due to PitBull not being primarily distributed by Curse until late last year). In any event, PitBull is an incredibly popular UnitFrame addon for World of Warcraft; and a new version is about to be let loose on an unwitting public!

Ckknight, among others, have been...
