Polymorph or Polydeath?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Gazimoff

Spoiler Alert: Discussion of Mage talents in Cataclysm, focusing on one new talent in particular. I feel like I’m almost betraying my class by raising this discussion. We’ve been handed a gift almost, a rare glimmering tool that would be oh-so-nice to have. But I don’t like it and really hope that it doesn’t make…

Cataclysm: New Mage Experience

Posted on July 4, 2010 by Gazimoff

Spoiler Alert: In-depth description of changes to the Mage class, levelling experience and spell ranks and usage. I’ll also be touching on the Cataclysm talent trees. Note that as I’m not in beta the content here is largely based on recounts and information gathered from elsewhere. The floodgates have opened and the Beta has begun….

Cataclysm Gallery Time

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Gazimoff

Spoiler Alert: I’ve included some of the best screenshots from Cataclysm. I’ve weeded out all the ones that would have revealed significant lore developments, so these should be fairly safe. As always though, reader discretion is advised. Note: I’m not in Beta, so can’t tell you much about these myself! A friend of mine has…

Under the Hood

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Gazimoff

Spoiler alert: In-depth discussion of the planned changes to Cataclysm, primarily focusing on mechanics and core engine changes, leveling experience and endgame experience. All information here is public knowledge unless specified. Over the weekend an avalanche of news came out about how development on Cataclysm is progressing. In an interesting change the majority of information…

Choose Your Weapons

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Gazimoff

A while back I mentioned that I had four different weapon sets on my mage and was having trouble choosing which one was the best. Theorycrafting wasn’t really helping me much, with no clear winner emerging. In the end I decided that the best way to test them was to go out, do some target…

Getting Ready for Cataclysm

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Gazimoff

At the moment there’s this imaginary calendar inside my head. It’s telling me that sometime before the end of the year, Cataclysm will be released. It’s the kind of thought that brings a smile to my face, like remembering that I’m going to have steak for dinner tonight. It’s not quite up there with the…

The Spark of Excitement

Posted on May 21, 2010 by Gazimoff

Hype is a wonderful thing. It serves to promote new products and bring them to our attention. It’s also there to help build up excitement; to get us thinking about what fun we’ll be able to have when we’re finally able to get our hands on whatever it is that’s being promoted. The problem I…

Blizzcon? I’m Virtually There

Posted on May 18, 2010 by Gazimoff

The date for this year’s Blizzcon has been known for a while, but we’ve all been wondering when we’ll be able to lay our hands on some tickets. The great news is that tickets go on sale on June 2nd and 5th at $150 each. There’s more information about what you get for your bucks…

The Composer and the Engineer

Posted on May 16, 2010 by Gazimoff

Note: Minor mention about revised levelling system. Nothing that isn’t common knowledge already. Over the last few months I’ve been using the Refer-a-Friend system to level up some new alts. It’s been a bit of a struggle – even with the perks and bonuses I’d forgotten how much of a grind the experience can be….

Cataclysm: My Rules of Engagement

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Gazimoff

As the new expansion approaches, there’s going to be a huge amount of information released. Blogs and websites will go crazy, posting update after update on every single detail. The web will be awash with screenshots covering every single detail. Some readers don’t really want to be presented with news on Cataclysm, and I can…
