Generic WoW

Welcome! The final gates of Icecrown have been opened up for us after months of waiting! Finally Lich King is vulnerable! According to wow.com, Blood Legion of Illidan-US has scored the world first of 10-man The Fall of the Lich King. All 10 player who participate in this combat, received the Kingslayer title. You should know that it was the normal mode of the 10-man difficulty. We can read at wow.com – Blood Legion is a high end 25-man guild, so this kill was not what you would call “pure.” Anyway even so, they are first like Louis Armstrong on the moon and who remember this second dude?

I’m too busy to log in to my World of Warcraft account, but I will try to play more at the weekend (at night or something like that). Loot from Lich King is very powerful, and you can check out wowhead.com, there are less powerful items from 10-man difficulty raid and more powerful from 25-man Lich King Raid. Few items are …well, devastating like Heaven’s Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies – wonderful dagger for Rogue or Mithrios, Bronzebeard’s Legacy – mace. My favorite is…

What a sexy weapon ….isn’t it? Of course there are others, but for me huge swords are the best weapons ever! This weapon is my main reason to visit good old Arthas in this cold and unpleasant home. I’ll talk with my guild officer when they are planning to go to Icecrown Citadel for Lich King raid…

You know, after few years I realized – World of Warcraft or any other even fantastic MMO RPG, can’t take my life! Even when I’m tempted, sometimes there is hundred better things to do, then leveling or getting powerful items like this sword…hrrnnnnghhh…temptation is soo strong…hrnn i can’t..damn it’s really hard…you know?!

v3.3

Sorry if you came here wanting another in-depth analysis of Cataclysm class previews. I’m not doing one yet.  Too many things will change before release.

Broadly my thoughts are that Blizzard are fiddling around the edges with the new skills.  The real changes to my mind are the changes to health pools and mana management, which will affect our entire healing strategy.  Possibly making it more like Burning Crusade.  Maybe.  And the changes to talent trees.

I’m still here, just too busy to write.  I got ideas for about eight posts but no time to spend the time on them they need at-the-moment.  Maybe one day.

I think my game time will slow right down soon as i’ve pretty much run out of content to do and i’m alted out as far as gearing goes.  I’m raiding but not much else.  I’ve also been on holidays and have been playing a little Blood Bowl.  So perhaps after I get over that stuff i’ll write them posts.

I do intend at this point to theorycraft priests in 4.0.x, but we’ll see what happens.

Some other thoughts…

Why are most of the heroic Icecrown Citadel fights far easier than the normal version of Lich King?

Isn’t there supposed to me another small raid instance (Ruby Sanctum?) released before Cataclysm?

If all the other gear rains from the sky, why are many DPS stuck using trinkets from tier 8?

Speaking of DPS, don’t disparage them.  They might be mostly filler in heroics, but smart DPS are as important to raid success as tanks and healers in progression kills and other non-easy mode content.  Especially those that know how to do more than produce big DPS numbers.

I love the Lich King fight.

Done.  See yas.
