A change in paradigm

Do you play World of Warcraft?  If so, why? This is a post which eventually will be about the changes recently announced regarding raiding in Cataclysm.  I want to leave that question hanging over what follows, as I take a sort of lengthy dawdle along the path of why we do what we do in … Continue reading

Elemental stats: Haste caps and relativity

This is the first post in a series on our primary DPS stats – which are Hit Rating, Spellpower, Haste Rating, Critical Strike Rating and Intellect.  Yes, they’re all yellow stats except Spellpower.  No, I’m not dealing with them in that order.  Yes, Zing already talked about all this in a much more concise post.  … Continue reading

Pity the fool

This is not an “April Fools” post, OK?  No, seriously, it isn’t.  Yes I know it’s April 1st, but this is just a normal post.  OK?  OK.  Good.  (But have you checked out Blizzard’s new EPEEN feature or the exciting new mobile games from battle.net?) Also, I apologise in advance for all the pingback spam … Continue reading
