Raiding Gear for Cataclysm Leveling

But I believe that the items available from Cataclysm level 85 heroics will be better than anything available in Wrath of the Lich King. Er, that’s assuming they don’t get their gear itemisation totally wrong. And I think they want all players – even the most hardcore, realm-first chasers – to complete the heroics for loot before stepping foot in a Cataclysm raid.

Taking Control of Trade Chat

Of all the chat channels, [Trade] is the only one that is broadcast to all the major cities. If you’re standing in Dalaran, and decide to put together a 10 man group for Icecrown Citadel, what’s the best way to advertise for additional group members?

Goodbye Hots & Dots

After nearly a year of blogging for Hots & Dots, Cass and I have made the difficult decision to close this blog.

Revisiting Maraudon: Pristine Waters

This guide will take you on a loop that kills all four bosses but you’re going to get your satchel midway. To kill Princess T (the “final” boss) last would require a heck of a lot of extra clearing and backtracking.
