    Rogue with 109% dodge

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Classes, Arena, Gear, Rogue on May 8th, 2007

    Not sure if this is a bug but it seems that a level 10 rogue with all twinked gear can solo Van Cleef. His dodge rate was a record 109% percent.

    I wonder if it works if you’re level 70. I bet it doesn’t!

    WoW Porn

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Shaman, Humor on May 8th, 2007

    I find this movie quite entertaining, what’s your take?

    The Internet is for porn… quite an engaging title for a machinima.

    Tell me it ain’t so! Especially, coming from a dwarf (me)!

    Nightelf Sex Goddess

    Some say this is how WoW version 4.0 (circa 2012) will look like.

    Best powerleveling guide

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Classes, Dungeons, Gear on May 7th, 2007

    A lot of people are asking what’s the best way to powerlevel their alts. WoW Glider and other WoW bots aside, the legit way to go about it is a combination of three things:

    1) questing - getting the right quests (a quest guide comes handy here)
    2) grinding - killing mobs that are relatively easy (it could mean finding cloth wearers or twinking your gear)
    3) getting a friend - a high-level char that will kill whatever you tap; it makes you go through mobs quickly

    There’s a free WoW guide out that’s relatively comprehensive: Jame’s Guide. I’ve linked the Alliance powerleveling guide but there should be a Horde version as well.

    Pandemic win 3:0

    Posted in News, Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Arena, Gear on May 4th, 2007

    wow arena scoreTeam Pandemic won 3:0 against Fnatic. They went through 63 Chinese teams, 1 European team and 1 US team to claim the title WSVG World of Warcraft Champions.

    Going back to their press release from a month ago, the team has progressed really well.

    Mark Dolven, President of TeamPandemic LLC, had this to say: “I am very excited to see the Team Pandemic brand expanded in to the World of Warcraft universe. The group of guys that we have been able to recruit are the best in the business. We cannot wait to see what they accomplish for themselves as part of our teams. We will provide them with every tool they need to become the best World of Warcraft team in the world. The sky is the limit for these guys.”

    Man, I hope he doesn’t mean they’ve been using Chinese farmers and bots to hone their skills!

    Anyway, if you want to know what team Pandemic’s gear is, look no further. Here’s Power Trip’s gear.

    WoW Credit

    Posted in News, Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Hunters on May 4th, 2007

    If you think Blizzard are not creative when it comes to printing money, think again. (This is not how you can get WoW gold on credit!)

    Look at this Visa - it has a WoW hunter on it’s cover!

    WoW Credit card

    The big deal about the card is that if you use it, you get an amazing 1% back as game credit - i.e. spend $1,500 and get 1 month free.

    It looks stupid now but wait till they figure you can personalize with your hunter in full Tier 6 gear. Then it will be something I’d consider!

    WoW bot: Glider

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Dungeons on April 27th, 2007

    The guys at the Markee Dragon are doing a review of a wow bot, the WoW Glider.

    Be warned, however, use of bots violates the T&C which means Blizzard can (and will) ban accounts where botting is detected.

    I’m not saying I enjoy pharming gold but frankly, I don’t mind doing it once in a while. If the glider could get me Gronstalker’s Armor, maybe I’ll think about it!

    The WoW Warrior

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Warcraft, Classes on April 26th, 2007

    In his AGC 2006 Keynote Presentation, Rob Pardo, Blizzard’s VP of Game Design, gives an example of how they designed the warrior class:

    WoW Warrior

    A lot of our initial class idea came out of Warcraft 3 because we’d been developing WC3 for one to two years before we started doing WoW, so a lot of our ideas around the classes came out of the heroes from WC3. Three of our warrior heroes were the Mountain King, the Blademaster and the Tauren Chieftain.

    In WC3, each of the heroes only have 4 spells. One to one they don’t translate well to a deep RPG combat system. Rather than take all the heroes and make them classes in WoW, we concentrated them. We took cool abilities like thunder clap from the Mountain King, critical strike from the Blademaster, and shockwave from the Tauren Chieftain and out them in the warrior, which we thought made the warrior a much cooler and deeper combat class than if we’d taken all the WC3 warrior heroes which were very cool and visual but would have given us too many classes that were too alike one another with not enough unique mechanics.

    We decided to concentrate that coolness in the warrior rather than spreading it out.

    I haven’t played a Warrior in WoW (seemed too dull to be a tank) but I definitely agree some of the skills are useful. My PVP Hunter has quite a hard time with warriors, when they get close that is!

    Skyshatter Harness

    Posted in Blizzard, WoW, Classes, Shaman on April 25th, 2007

    Skyshatter HarnessMy alt is a Shaman so I was checking out the shaman tier 6 armor - Skyshatter Harness.

    All I can say is it’s a LOT more flexible. Hunter only have one option while shaman have three!

    Make sure you scroll all the way, it’s a pretty long image.
