Unwritten rule of mage v. lock relations

Posted in Mages, Misc WoW, Warlock, tagged , , on July 17, 2009 | 9 Comments »

There is an unwritten rule of Mage v. Lock relations.
Hate the other publicly, envy them privately.
OK, maybe not so unwritten.
OK, maybe it’s written nearly everywhere on every Mage and Lock blog, forum, guild website plus many more.
Well, the hate bit anyway, I guess I can’t really speak for other Mages, but I don’t hate Locks.
Fear [...]

Legitimate twinks: Our Parent’s ‘fess up

Posted in Mages, Misc WoW, Patch notes, Twink, Warlock, tagged , , , , on June 19, 2009 | 6 Comments »

So the bastard sons and daughters will be acknowledged by their father in patch 3.2.
Now of course for many years now many players have considered twinkers bastards, especially when they enter battlegrounds with their stock standard toons for a bit of fun to break up the leveling grind.
I had a quick look through the patch [...]

Magecraft is better than Gnomecraft

Posted in Forums, Mages, Uncategorized, tagged , on June 17, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I have been a little tardy in spreading the word on this one, but I see that other Mage blogs have been doing their bit, and WoW.com gave it a plug the other day, so I didn’t feel I was failing the Mage community.
However, on the off chance that you only read one Mage blog, [...]

I have a dream…
I can sit online for hours per day just chatting to mates and making money.
Ok, so I have two dreams.
Sitting online hours per day, chatting to mates and making money, and…
Becoming the CGO (Chief Gnomish Officer) of my own transport company.
I would call it..

What’s your Mage bad at?

Posted in Mages, tagged on May 26, 2009 | 10 Comments »

Ok so we discussed your personal best skill yesterday (yours rather than your classes defining skill).
Today we look at your worst.
Once again, we aren’t talking about worst skill per se (someone say wand specialization?), rather your application of a skill or technique that leaves you in tears and your mates rofl.
Gnomeaggedon is bad at something?

When is your DPS too low?

Posted in DPS, Gear, Instances, Mages, Raids, Specs, tagged , , , , , on May 21, 2009 | 17 Comments »

See I am still here!
Karch has been doing a great job answering his readers questions (why don’t I get questions? Oh yeah, I had one about whether you should stay Fire spec back in TBC. Apart from that they are just questions about help getting $millions out of Nigeria)
Anyway he had one the other day [...]

My dirty little dual spec secret

Dear WordPress… Stop eating my posts!
Why can’t you handle an interruption caused by a phone call? You app is designed to run on an iPhone?
Why do you tell me you recovered the post, let me save and finish the post… Yet when I open it again, there is nothing but a blank page!
Here we [...]

/stopcasting in Mage Macros: still relevant

Posted in Macros, Mages, tagged , on May 15, 2009 | 4 Comments »

A while back a commenter suggested that /stopcasting was no longer relevant in casting macros.
I had forgotten all about it until /stopcasting was positively mentioned in a comment by Velinath to my Magetard post.
I (respectably) disagree with the original commenter, and happily agree with Velinath.
Sure you don’t need it so much to combat lag… So [...]

Magetard: like a Huntard, only worse

Posted in Mages, tagged on May 12, 2009 | 19 Comments »

Pie at ForTheHorde had a great post about avoiding tardness as a Hunter by practicing, practicing and practicing a bit more.
His point was that while leveling and grinding we tend to fall back on lazy practices which will inhibit our ability to excel in instances and raids.
Fundamentally you can get away with sloppy play while [...]
