Leveling and the problems still in place…

So i jumped onto the Beta Premades and grabbed a nice DK. I wanted to test the leveling capabilities within the new inscription tree for someone just starting out. So i’ve been leveling Herbalism and Inscriptions along the way.
Not to long ago, and as evidenced on the realms, Blizzard announced that they were nerfing the [...]

Obsidian Sanctum (25 Play

My group did this last night.
We cleared 2 of the drake guys, the one on the left and back side (their names escape em). The guy on the right despawned by the time we got to him, not sure if this is intended or not.

Model changes for Varimathras and Alexstrasza

I’m a tiny bit disappointed [...]

Skill Mastery: Mind Sear

Skill Mastery: Mind Sear
 
Mind Sear, one of the new baseline abilities for Priests in Wrath of the Lich King, is an unusual beast. It’s a Shadow-based AOE spell, which is fantastic, but it’s a little trickier to use than we might like. It looks super cool, so that makes up for some of its issues. [...]

Around Azeroth: Sky Captain and the World of Warcraft
 
Hmm, I’m not entirely sure what this submission by “stu” is all about. Clearly it’s some sort of ship in Northrend, and I can see an orc on board. Logically, it’s probably the Horde gunship in Icecrown that’s causing a lot of mysterious crashes lately, but I [...]
