3.2.2 Patch is Live

The 3.2.2 Patch went up today during the extended maintenance, meaning that Onyxia is once again fair game for anyone looking forward to getting slapped around a bit by her. Of course, it doesn’t actually look like Onyxia is up and running just yet, but there’s no other massive changes to the game coming in this patch (lots of interesting ones, but nothing huge), so it seems likely that she will be raidable by all this evening.
In addition, the armor penetration nerfs are live, along with the massive amounts of …

Season 7 Changes to 2v2

There are a lot of changes floating around out there right now and it’s hard to keep up with all of them and what they’re going to mean for the game. But, one change that we have to point out that went live with the launch of Season 7 in the Arena is the huge revamping of the 2v2 Bracket.
This has an impact on a lot of Death Knights who may or may not have tried out 2v2 early on when they could destroy anyone in sight, but are now …

3.2.2 Probably Coming Soon

No surprise here, but we’re probably going to see the surprisingly awaited 3.2.2 patch here in the next week or two.

We’ll keep a close eye for just how much everyone gets smacked around by Onyxia when she goes back live. We’re rather hoping for some destruction. Onyxia has some revenge to level against all those level 70s who …

Ruminating on the New Zones in Cataclysm

We’re back after a rather bumpy week of server issues – Gravity already posted some of the more interesting finds from the new PTR patch for Death Knights. We haven’t made much mention of Cataclysm in recent days however, and while the new information on the expansion pack is going to come in very slow drips for the next few months, at least until a build of the game appears, we can still drool over the concept art and the details we do know at this point.
Today, I was over …

Armor Penetration Nerf Coming in Patch 3.2.2

Anyone that read our post the other day about stat being changed in Cataclysm will be interested to know that the nerfing is going to begin early for at least one stat – Armor Penetration. This stat, which essentially has allowed most melee raiders to boost their damage output without anything other than ArP, is going to be removed completely in 4.0, but for now, it is being nerfed down to make it less viable as a single stat boost for those who actually understand it.
For the most part, this …
