So you want to be a restokin?

By Lissanna | Published: April 25, 2009
I’ve spent some time saying why I think restokin builds are not as good as they used to be. However, I said that after patch 3.1, I would try to come up with some possible restokin builds people could try. With the amount of burst damage now on it’s way out, it is possible that [...]

Ignis – Healing the Slag Pot

By Lissanna | Published: April 24, 2009
So, with my new guild, we took down 25-man Ignis for the first time last night (along with Razorscale for the first time, too). Last week, we didn’t get to do much of the 25-man because our raid got canceled one night due to server issues, and so this was really our first week of [...]

Not again! Forget your talent specs? Here's the link…

By Lissanna | Published: April 21, 2009
Okay, so if you are like me and somehow managed to miss our CSF sleepy panda’s warning yesterday: Psst, guys? If you have a talent spec you really love, just a word to the wise, write it down, screen shot it for posterity, or otherwise record the way you like them. Aw crud. That means [...]

So… cat DPS is hard to do well

By Lissanna | Published: April 21, 2009
This post was inspired by GC’s recent comment on the DD forums: This is a personal opinion and not a Blizzard design philosophy, but I think cat is one of the most challenging. With a long Feral Faerie Fire it’s a little better. A lot of druids (I think) agree with this observation. Why? Lavata [...]
