It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that hasn’t gotten a beta invite, despite an ongoing salvo of increasingly pathetic groveling at the feet of Blizzard’s customer service department. Oh, the things that Arcane Brilliance would do … It’s shameful, really.
So I want you guys to know that it’s been difficult. [...]

This article has been brought to you by Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW.com.
Throughout my time raiding in WoW, I’ve noticed that a lot of things factor into the success or failure of a raid. Coordination, cooldown timing, proper raid composition and end-game gear can only go so far [...]

For those of you who don’t know much about tanking, we’re going to talk quickly about a stat that won’t exist in Cataclysm. This lowly stat is called defense rating, and it’s something that tanks need quite a bit of. The nice thing is that it’s on just about everything that tanks wear, which means [...]

Last Saturday, <It came from the Blog> flamed the Eastern Kingdoms. We started at Silvermoon City, hanging out, chatting and pole dancing. We then proceeded to work our way down the continent, hitting all of the Horde flames and some of the Alliance ones. The first half of the event was an all-levels affair. Stay [...]
