New 5-man allows for more progression without raiding.

By Lissanna | Published: September 30, 2009
So, it looks like they’ve actually implemented real 5-man dungeon progression (as a way to skip raiding and still get great gear upgrades). You’ll get item level 219 gear from the normal 5-man (basically, Ulduar 10-man gear equivalent), and ilevel 232 gear (ToC 10-man gear equivalent) from the heroic 5-man. So, here is even more [...]

Patch 3.2.2 & druids

By Lissanna | Published: September 22, 2009
What changed for druids: (not much - click here for wow.com article) The moonkin & feral changes are mostly PvP oriented. Also, remember that they changed our Idols so that you can’t have the effects of 2 of the buffs active at the same time (so, you shouldn’t be idol swapping to get multiple buffs [...]
