Warlocks and Tagging mobs with Dots

Warlocks and Tagging mobs with Dots

Poor warlocks and trying tp tag mobs to them in Northrend. I have to say that I’m not entirely sympathetic since the world first Lv. 80 was a warlock so it can’t be all that bad, but I will agree that accidentally I’ve pulled a few mobs away from warlocks because their dots be slow [...]

WoW Movies: Things You Need by Jun Falkenstein

I guess the title can be somewhat missleading since the actual project was done by Jun Falkenstein (Stone Falcon Productions), Ben Covi (Oblivious Films), and Sam Pierce (Slashdance) but for the sake of formatting and keeping the title short, I’m keeping Jun up top.
Anyway, this was a short little production in machinima for the [...]

World & US First Lv. 80 Death Knight

World & US First Lv. 80 Death Knight

Dessembrae from Eternal Corpse Council on the EU-Mazrigos realm was the first Death Knight in the game to hit level 80 in Wrath of the Lich King. The ding officially happened on November 15th.

Kel’thuzad, Sartharion, and Malygos world first kill by TwentyFifthNovember

via MMOC.
You might remember this news from a few days ago, most of the members from the top PvE guilds Nihilum and SK-Gaming merged in a single guild temporarily called TwentyFifthNovember.
The question is, how much time will it take to see them getting world first kills on raid bosses ? Easy, about 65 Hours and [...]

Malhoof's guide to Northrend Instances: The Nexus

Malhoof’s guide to Northrend Instances: The Nexus

I have to say this is a really nice looking instance.  Very colorful and bright, it just feels like a massive place.  The art department alone outdid themselves on these new instances. They all really feel like it was some one’s full time job for months and months just to make sure when you look around [...]

Wrath of the Lich King: Leveling made fun again

Wrath of the Lich King: Leveling made fun again

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday, but I just couldn’t seem to pull myself away from Northrend.  The quests, the zones, and the instances are incredibly fun and engaging. Im not sure for most other servers, but for mine and all of my friends who play, there have been few if any server crashes [...]

Profession Trainers in Northrend...

Profession Trainers in Northrend…

So how many times exactly have you had to answer this question over general chat in the Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord? Seriously. I mean I had to tell a guy the other night where the mailbox was because he couldn’t muster the effort to find it himself.
What is it about new content that makes [...]

Wrath of the Lich King World First Lv. 80!

Wrath of the Lich King World First Lv. 80!

Nymh - Drek’thar [FR] was the first character to reach level 80 in the new expansion - Wrath of the Lich King! Congratulations to him! I guess I can’t make any French jokes for a few days. Nymh is a Warlock and as far as how he did it, testing during Beta to find the [...]

Trouble at Login?

Trouble at Login?

Hello, Milune here with some good news. It’s a real easy fix for the most part. Once you update and install, and input your CD-key off the box, log in as soon as you can, then log out immediately. Now this is the tricky part: stay logged out completely for about 3-5 minutes. The reason [...]

A man of great honor, a devout follower of the Light, and one of the original paladins of the Silver Hand; we explore his beginning, downfall and rising. You’ll see this amazing paladin in Valgarde (Howling Fjord) if you are starting Northrend there, or the [...]

Farewell to Outland, we will miss you!!!

Farewell to Outland, we will miss you!!!

So with Wrath coming tonight and everyone making a mad dash to Level 80, no one is really doing much in the game except a few last minute achievements and cleaning out some inventory. I thought now would be a good time to ask our readers what their impression was of outland and what you [...]

The Nightly Spoon: Tuesday November 11th Recap

I survived the 18 hour work day. I swear this site is going to be the death of me, but at least I’ll go with a smile. Here is today’s recap. I hope that your server is online and you’re having some good old fashioned lagtastic fun like I just was. I’m going to bed.

Wrath of the Lich King Naxxramas 10 & 25 Loot List

Boub at MMOC has been hard at work setting up the updated loot list for Naxx as well as a breakdown of the T7 stats as of the last Beta build before it went down.
And to answer an earlier question, here is where T7 drops.

Chest - 4 Horsemen (Naxxramas)

Ask Spoon: Tanking Reputations in Northrend?

Ask Spoon: Tanking Reputations in Northrend?

Ho There!
Bill here again with a few reputation questions for WoTLK!
1. As a main tank warrior, are there any factions that award essential ‘tanking’ items? I’d like to make my time leveling and grinding efficient, so if there were certain factions I could aim for early on, that would mean all the less rep grinding [...]

Battle in Orgrimar Pre-Wrath Launch Event Videos.

Here’s a video of the battle in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimar the other night for those that play Alliance or simply missed the event.

Also, here’s a video of the battle between Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream for leadership of the Horde.

Both videos were scored from World of Raids.

Addons for Wrath of the Lich King

Addons for Wrath of the Lich King

ONLY 1 DAY LEFT!
Saw this over at WoW Insider so I figured it’d do some good to have it here. I’m not much for addons (I only run with Scrolling Combat text, Bagnon, and Atlas/Loot) but I know a lot of you readers out there can’t live without your cyborg setup. So enjoy this list [...]

Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE!- You have been disconnected...

Let’s Get Ready to RUMBLE!- You have been disconnected…

I got this screenshot from Darksniper of Ask a Warlock fame showing me what was going on over on Laughing Skull (or lagging skull) during the Orgrimar Scourge invasion event where Garrosh Hellscream and Thrall were about to start fighting in the Ring of Valor. Just as the action picked up, server choked, spat on [...]

Malhoof’s guide to instances in WotLK: Utgarde Keep

I am starting this series of threads to inform our readers where to go for instances for their given level.  You don’t want to walk into The Oculus at level 70 and you wouldn’t want to be spinning your wheels in The Nexxus at level 79. So here is a helpfull guide to get you [...]

Are you trying to get into that top raiding guild in this expansion?

Are you trying to get into that top raiding guild in this expansion?

Every serious raider wants to be in the guild that is on the cutting edge of progression.  You see those people standing in Org or Stormwind, their nice 5 piece set bonuses and that weapon that makes yours look like you snapped a branch off a tree on your way into town.  Everyone wants to [...]

Leveling as a Healer in Northrend

Leveling as a Healer in Northrend

Often times it is very hard to find a healer for your 5-man runs and heroics when you are at max level.  You can sit in trade chat for about 10 minutes and see someone “LF Healer for _______ then g2g”.  Healers are even harder to find now as we approach the expansion and as [...]

Cykke's Look on Hunters: Pandect of a Hunter

Cykke’s Look on Hunters: Pandect of a Hunter

Ah, Hunters… love em or hate em, they produce some of the highest DPS in the World of Warcraft. Hunters live throughout the land with only their weapon and beloved animal by their side. They are masters of ranged combat and taming beasts to do their bidding. These are some key aspects of a Hunter, [...]

Dragon Mounts in Wrath of the Lich King

Dragon Mounts in Wrath of the Lich King

Got to see two of the mounts during the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. The Proto Drake and Frostwyrm flying mounts are hands down the sickest looking flying mounts out there.
I’m not to sure on how we’re going to get the Frostwyrm mount, but the proto-drakes are rewards for certain very hard to get [...]

Wrath of the Lich King World Event: The Scourge Attack Orgrimmar!

Wrath of the Lich King World Event: The Scourge Attack Orgrimmar!

As I reported way back in the Beta, Orgrimmar has indeed been attacked! Our Warchief has called for WAR! In the Valley of Honor (where the new arena and PVP battlemasters are) there has been a massive attack by hundreds of gigantic abominations and frsot wryms! Highlord Saurfang (the dad), Thrall, Sylvanas, Garrosh Hellscream (son [...]

The Daily Spoon: New Faces at Spooncraft and the Monday Nov. 10th Recap

Looks like a dull day for you folks at home, but behind the scenes here at Spooncraft it’s been unbelievably busy. First order of business, I’d like to introduce one of the new faces here at Spooncraft, Malhoof.
Malhoof plays a Druid in a fairly hardcore raiding guild of which he is also an officer and [...]

I have loved my druid since the day [...]
