Less healing means more pew pew

By Lissanna | Published: July 31, 2009
Okay, so for as long as I can remember, I’ve healed in raids. In 40-man raids, and the 25-man Burning Crusade raids, we needed a TON of healers. You could heal 25-mans with like 8 or 9 healers. Now, the difficult encounters are pretty much all DPS races (especially hard modes), where you shouldn’t have [...]

Getting epic gems – the hard way or the easy way?

By Lissanna | Published: July 30, 2009
Okay, so as a jewelcrafter, I’m excited about the new epic gems coming out in patch 3.2. I’ve been preparing for a while for getting the jewelcrafting tokens to buy the patterns that I will need to cut the epic gems. I gave up doing the daily quest for a while, so I only have [...]

Barking down memory lane

By Lissanna | Published: July 29, 2009
Being an “old school” druid without many alts I’ve leveled up very far, I sometimes like to take trips down memory lane. Since the latest Blog Azeroth shared topic is about memories of the olden days, I felt that I should share some of those old memories with you. First, it actually took me a [...]

Raiding progress update in 10-man Ulduar

By Lissanna | Published: July 28, 2009
So, I was able to go to my guild’s 10-man Ulduar this week, where we got down three hardmodes: Deconstructor, Thorim, & Iron Council. I got 2 achievements on Ignis: Stoking the furnace & shattered (I missed shattering an add, so then I had to do 2 in one go, and then got us an [...]

Emblem of Triumph loot in 3.2 (a first look)

By Lissanna | Published: July 27, 2009
So, with 3.2 coming out “soon,” I thought I would take a quick peak at the badge loot available with Emblems of Triumph in 3.2. You can see the full loot list (with badge costs) on mmo-champion’s list. We still likely have a couple weeks before 3.2 comes out, so this is really the first [...]

Moonkin damage “twisting” in 3.2 – more questions than answers

By Lissanna | Published: July 25, 2009
Okay, so in 3.1, the moonkin rotation makes a lot of sense: Put up your dots, Use wrath until Eclipse procs, keep casting starfire until cooldown is almost up, and then wrath until eclipse procs again. Refresh your dots during the Eclipse cooldown as needed. In movement heavy fights, you can use starfire to proc [...]

Preparing my shaman alt for 3.2

By Lissanna | Published: July 24, 2009
Okay, so in Burning Crusade, I leveled up an alliance shaman and raided as a chain-heal-spammer for a while at level 70. However, when WotLK came out, my shaman has mostly been shelved. The druid class became a lot more fun to heal with at level 80, so I just didn’t level up my shaman [...]
