The End Heal of Lifebloom Generates No Threat

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

There’s been a debate raging amongst the druid community for the past year and a half. It started with a series of rather simple empirical tests a friend and I conducted in early March of 2007, the results of which we posted on Elitist Jerks. In short, we concluded the end heal of lifebloom generated […]

Guides and Tutorials: Threat Mechanics

Friday, July 25th, 2008

The entry is meant to serve largely as an introduction to the post I’ll be making soon after. However, it warrants its own entry because of the complexity of the subject matter. Be that as it may, you should know my take on threat is nearly identical to that of Kenco’s. So you can skip […]

Hence, I’ve thrown my name into the hat of moderators at PlusHeal […]

Die in a Bonfire: An Experiment in WoW Video Editing

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Technical limitations aside, I now understand why a lot of people don’t create videos for their blogs. The process is extremely time consuming.
I spent pretty much an entire day performing and frapsing the material to include in the video. It then took several hours to learn how to use Premiere Elements and nearly two days […]

Q&A Time: Healer Saturation and Looting Principles

Friday, July 4th, 2008

The source for this entry comes from an idea proposed to me by Auzara from Chick GM, a fellow blogger whom I both respect and admire. Auzara is one of the leaders of a guild that is ranked 638th in the U.S., having recently killed Brutallus. I have been reading her blog since about the […]
