I have, in other venues, discussed how the Wreck List was formed. Today, I’d like to talk about why. I’ve been in other guilds before. Good guilds. Solid raiders. Nice people. But, and this is a big but, I’d find myself watching what I talked about in guild chat. I’d soon learn that there were [...]

Feminism from a Post-Vitalist Perspective.
I’ve been thinking about what it is to be female in Azeroth. Certain posts, like this one at the ‘mental shaman, and certain experiences I’ve had in game have brought me to the point where I should address the choices I’ve made in portraying my femininity, whether they are particularly helpful or not, and how [...]
IDP, We Hardly Knew Ye.
It’s official. Not that we weren’t expecting it – with Blood being the tanking tree, and the presences being changed accordingly so that you’re not in the Blood tree in Frost presence tanking, it would only make sense that they’d remove the threat multiplier for Icy Touch in Frost Presence. Still (though *ahem* I’ve yet [...]
Obligatory RealID/Forums QQ Post. [Updated]
At first, I didn’t really mind RealID. What with the not sleeping or eating, we deathknights have time to kill (to coin a phrase) and firing up a WoW client on the steam-powered gnomish computing device lets me see what the World is like to those outside it. And RealID gives me the chance to [...]
Thoughts on Healing
As Level a Healer Month draws to a close, I’d like to share five things that I’ve learned as a low-level shaman healer. 1. You have more mana than you think you do. Seriously. I usually start asking for mana when my Xperl raid warning goes off at thirty percent. For many instances, however, “mana [...]
The Return of Level a Healer Month.
We’re running short of healers four our four ICC 10 progression groups, so we’re going back to Level a Healer Month. Looks like after the holiday weekend I’ll be dusting Shamwowloner off and trying to level her up as heals some more. I do have the new UI with Grid which should be making healing [...]
Because I Haven’t Updated in a While:
It’s been a while. Here’s some catching up: I tried a Blood tanking spec for a while. Was asked to go back to Frost before I could update my spec here. And I’m OK with that. While I really think I should be learning Blood tanking for Cataclysm, face it I like Frost tanking, and [...]
All I Will Say about the Celestial Steed:
My two cents about the Celestial Steed: “Hello healers, tanks, look at your death knight, now back to me, now back at your death knight, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using Army of the Dead on trash pulls and learned his class and spec, he could smell like [...]
Cataclysm: Death Knight Preview.
So, for the few of you who haven’t yet seen the Cataclysm death knight preview, with some analysis by Zarhym and Ghostcrawler. go look now. I’l wait. Back? Good. I’ve slept on it, and thought about it, and I’ve come to the surprising conclusion that this is in fact a buff. “What?” you may ask. [...]
The New Icy Touch in Frost, or, Show Me On The Doll Where The Death Knight Icy Touched You
You may get the feeling, from the title, that I’m impressed with the change to Icy Touch. For those unfamiliar with the change, Icy Touch now does roughly seven times more threat while the DK is in Frost Presence. Combine this with the doubling of threat from Frost Presence itself, and Satorri at Tankspot estimates [...]
