That’s Cooldown of Darkspear, above, basking in the glory of a boss kill. While it seemed like raiding came to a standstill before BC, that’s not really the case before Wrath — while it’s certainly slower, there’s lots of people out there still killing bad guys.
And Guildwatch reports on […]

Rogues have, of course, been stealthy for a long time, and when […]

Filed under: Warrior, Analysis / Opinion, Talents, Wrath of the Lich King

While a lot of debate goes back and forth about how much damage Fury is doing in Wrath, and how fun the tree is, there’s one fury talent that is unabashedly awesome in my opinion: Bloodsurge. Bloodsurge is a pure delight to use, and is a perfect example of […]

More on dual specs at Blizzcon

| WoW News | Comments closed

Filed under: Talents, BlizzCon, Rumors
In the midst of a mostly unrelated post about the Druid Balance tree, Ghostcrawler let slip the following: “The dual-spec feature will shine more light on talent design (more on that at Blizzcon) and we’ll have a better idea of what we want to do with trees when that goes live.” Now I don’t know about […]

There’s a huge forum thread over on the forums right now (though it’s been going for the better part of a month) about Blizzard putting in more for roleplayers — player housing, surnames, and “a more interactive world” are all asked for, and much later in the […]

As one might expect, they’re fairly forgiving given modern hardware, but they are significantly bumped from the BC requirements (which were not updated from classic […]
