Revisting Maraudon: Purple Crystals

The Purple Crystal run, containing the lowest level enemies and thus first in the series, will start you in a blue shadowed area called The Wicked Grotto. I hope you’re ready to kill some imps and demons!

Shadow Priests, Spirit and Stat Weightings

Just because Shadow Priests don’t value Spirit very highly it doesn’t mean that other cloth wearers, and Blizzard, feel the same way.

Too Many Cooks

My guild raids, especially when you listen to vent, are starting to suffer from a case of too many cooks spoil the broth. After every single wipe – on bosses we’ve been working on for weeks, or bosses we’ve been working on for just one night – vent explodes with heated debate and “suggestions”.

It’s Just a Phase

I think I’m going through a why-am-I-playing-this-game-again? phase.

DPS Isn’t as Easy as You Might Think

Lathere is a healer. I am a damage dealer. But we both have alts at level 80. And we’ve both tried to swap roles, with little success. And watching Lath fail in her new role… is actually pretty satisfying. That’s sisterly love for you. I wrote this article so that we can learn from her mistakes.
