    Blizzcon wind-down

    Blizzcon wind-down

    What a weekend. I was awake at 5:15am on Saturday so I was up in time to watch the opening ceremony. Mornings are not my thing, but I was pumped, and have stayed pumped since. It’s an interesting phenomenon really, isn’t it? Even just watching people have fun and get exciting about these games that we […]

    The cranky pants are on!

    I’m angry. And probably not for the reasons you think. There are less than 8 hours until the opening ceremony of Blizzcon, and there have been two pretty big leaks – one about Overwatch and one about World of Warcraft. And I am PISSED. I’m not angry about the content of the leaks (though I […]

    Great expectations – getting the most out of Blizzcon announcements

    Blizzcon is this weekend, and the hype train is speeding along. I, like most fellow WoW players, are hanging out for any news about Legion. I’m pretty sure the one question everyone wants to have answered is “when will Legion be released?”. It’s a fair question – people are excited about the game and they […]

    Last night was a good night of raiding. We had made our way through all of Heroic Hellfire Citadel on Wednesday night so that we would have all of Sunday evening to work on getting Heroic Archimonde down for the first time. Turns out we only needed 2 pulls. We were very fortunate to have […]

    Thoughts on 6.2.3 (without the table flipping)

    Edited: I misread the cross-realm information – Cross-realm Mythic raiding is EXCELLENT news!

One of the problems with the time delay is that I see opinions before I see what the actual news […]

    Is the new Warcraft book announcement hinting to a Legion release date?

    Today Blizzard announced a new partnership with Random House for a series of novels about the Warcraft and Starcraft universes. All well and good, and something that I’m looking forward to.

    Are rolling WoW expansions contributing to player fatigue?

    Blizzard have made it clear that their intentions moving forward with World of Warcraft are to tie expansions together (Check out mmo-champion’s recap of Gamereactor’s interview with the devs for more). This is why Garrosh lead us to Draenor for the Warlords of Draenor expansion, and why Gul’dan is taking us back to Azeroth, in order to […]

    I was casually scrolling through the in game calendar this evening to see what the bonus events were each week. Then I got bored and just kept scrolling, when I noticed something strange.

    I’m going to be a guest on the Girls Gone WoW podcast this week! We’re going to be talking about being a raid leader/guild officer.

    I’ve been feeling a bit crap about things lately. It’s why I haven’t been posting on here all that much. I’m going through a “I completely suck at this game, why do I bother playing it” phase. Mostly it’s because of my raiding performance lately. It’s tough being a resto shaman sometimes. It’s not often […]

    Blizzard Watch needs your help!

    Many of you will be aware now that WowInsider (and joystiq et al) have been shut down by AOL. (As of a few hours ago, the WowInsider twitter account was taken over, so any new tweets you see are NOT from the original staff!) This is really a terrible loss to the WoW community. I […]

    Earthen warlock

    Earthen Warlock I got these robes from my salvage yard on my shaman. I have them already on my mage so sent them over to my warlock. This set came together very quickly, and I love it. It’s a little bit earthy and rough. I like to image my warlock having to go live in […]

    Still here!

    I’m still here! I’ve just been crazy busy with stuff and haven’t had a chance to do much on here at all. Still want to finish off my Highmaul Resto Shaman guides, and have a bunch of other posts I want to put up, I just haven’t had the time. My bf and I are […]

    Hatespark

    Oh hello, Hatespark! Don’t we look pretty? I’ve wanted Hatespark the Tiny ever since I saw his little model come out. The drop rate to get him is sooooo low (0.03% chance, according to Wowhead, though I didn’t think it was quite that low!). I thought about buying him, but the cheapest price I found […]

    Healing Heroic Highmaul – The Butcher

    The Butcher getting in to the Festive Spirit! I’m putting together some short healer-based posts for each of the bosses in the Highmaul raid tier. Hopefully they’ll be useful for some fellow healers (my focus is on restoration shaman as that is what I play). Let me know what you think! (Read the Kargath Bladefist […]

    Why fly when you can swim? A flight path from my garrison bugged out on me the other day, causing Cinderstorm to swim all the way to Spires of Arak. I love that she had her “holding my breath” underwater face the whole time!  Quite a nice way to catch some of scenery. 🙂

    Whatever you celebrate this time of year, may it be full of love, laughter and good food.  Cinder xox

    Healing Heroic Highmaul – Kargath Bladefist

    Kargath Bladefist (image from wowhead) I’m putting together some short healer-based posts for each of the bosses in the Highmaul raid tier. Hopefully they’ll be useful for some fellow healers (my focus is on restoration shaman as that is what I play). Let me know what you think! Kargath Bladefist Kargath Bladefist is the first […]

    Look what I got for my work Kris Kringle gift this year! I’m determined to find out who gave this to me so I can give them a huge thank you!!

    Paragon World First Mythic Highmaul

    Paragon have cleared Highmaul! I’ve been watching this race pretty closely.  It’s been fascinating. For the longest time Ascension, who are an Australian guild on the same server I’m on, were kicking butt and clearing things super fast. They got a lot of world first kills so should be super proud.  A lot of guilds […]

    and then….

    Now it’s just getting weird. First there was my weekend pet surprises, then yesterday I got even more, and then today – 2 more!  This morning from my garrison daily pet battle, I got the Albino Chimaeraling: Then tonight I sent my warlock off to the Darkmoon Faire to do the two pet battle dailies […]

    And the pets just keep coming…

    After all the good fortune I had with pets and mounts over the weekend, I thought that would be it for awhile. So imagine my shock when, from my second Big Bag of Pet Supplies I managed to get this little guy! He’s a little Sun Sproutling and he’s super adorable.  Maybe from my third bag […]

    All of the pets (and a rare mount!)

    So many pets for me this weekend! I’ve been so so lucky. It started on Thursday with Argi: Argi is Blizzard’s fundraiser pet this year. 100% of the money paid for him goes to the Red Cross to help the Ebola efforts in Africa. If you haven’t adopted him yet, please do! He can do […]

    Highmaul Raid night 1

    Well, all manner of dramas are happening on our server at the moment. Highmaul has just opened, so raiding has officially started again!  We had a good start – everyone got in ok, and we one-shot Kargath Bladefist. And then everything went down the toilet. Looks like the servers are getting DDOS-ed so people have […]

    The journey to 100

    The journey to 100 has been a lot of fun. I was incredibly fortunate and didn’t experience any of the queues or other such issues (although many of my guild friends did). To be fair, some mornings I was up at 5:30am so I think that definitely helped.  So! Here are a bunch of us […]
