Weighing In : Melee Healers

Or as we’ve grown accustomed to, these classes have been dubbed the Group Healers instead. It’s a double entendre as well, see not only can they effectively heal a whole group, but that’s about the number of players they can ignore in combat as well. Pretty cool I think. At least, they can if they’re guarded and…

Taking Mythic Steps

Small, frequent, reversible changes. Each one of these things is really important. The WP/DoK change, regardless of negative sentiment is actually quite small, one ability nerfed, one slightly buffed. Sure it has a large effect in the scheme of things, but it never should have been at that point. Just like BW/Sorc has been nerfed…

Love/Hate: A letter from an Archmage

(this guest post brought to you by @AndyBursh) Dear Disciple of Khaine and Warrior Priest,  I hate you, I really do, but I love you too damned much to stay mad at you. First things first: I’ve got to ask you how a 1s group heal that can heal for more than a 2.5s single…

Only Want Purple Numbers

Last night I did a pretty hard fail run of Lost Vale. We spent forever trying to pick up three players and the second tank crashed just before the spider boss. We had a pretty decent RR70 Runepriest healing but he hadn’t run LV in nearly a year. There was also an Archmage healing and…

Gutter Running

I highly recommend going to the Youtube page and watching it there at a higher resolution! Okay, so I finally got around to firing up FRAPS and stretching my video making legs a bit. Of course as usual I realize well after it’s all cut together that I pretty much left out any context at…

Shattered Frames of Rose Colored Glasses

(for those interested, this post took me a full three days of spare time to write, fill with content, edit, and eventually decide to say fuck it, give up, and post anyway.) Big things coming along on Thursday. Somehow, through sheer poor luck and perhaps some subconscious refusal, I’ve managed to miss every single PTS…

Riding the Mythic Rollercoaster

(Yeah, I realize I should be saying BiowareMythic, but that’s dumb. They’re not the same thing.) Well, we’ve gone from getting covered in figurative vomit yesterday to seeing this pair of RvR Packs today. I have to say, it’s a fine distraction. I’m going to reflect on those for a moment.  What bothers me however,…

I’m just going to hold my face for a while

:grumble: Making me roll out from under my rock… Oh, what’s this bickering going on in WAR this time? More things about 1.4 and the RvR packs no doubt. Gosh I’m glad I set my expectations really low, this isn’t nearly as disappointing to me as it might be to the rest of the MMO…

NaNoWriMo Preliminary

So last year around this time, well, while I was on vacation I did an outline for a novel I was going to write for the NaNoWriMo. It never got properly started, and I figured if I were feeling really ballsy I could work on the same novel this year. Being a huge DnD nerd,…
