Is Gevlon really Tobold?

A very interesting story unfolding this morning. Tobold claims he’s Gevlon. Gevlon says it’s a joke, but doesn’t really give a clear answer about whether its’ true or not. He could have been role-playing Gevlon’s denial.  Was Tobold just being very clever (quite possible)? We’ll find out the full story over next 24 hours, I expect.
Also, and probably more importantly, Gevlon the Greedy Goblin cleared Ulduar with a team in blues. Not epics.
In Coliseum news: Wowraid have a written strategy on the Twins and TankSpot has a video guide.

Levelling in battlegrounds

A feature that’s been around a little while now is the gain of experience in battlegrounds. What’s particularly nice about this is that you can level an healer alt through battlegrounds, enjoy yourself, and not have the usual problems of levelling as a healer (ie. you can’t kill anything).
At L59, I gained between 22K and 26K experience per Alterac Valley in average of 14 minutes, when winning. This was on a new Horde DK. They were coming one after another, with up to 5 or 10 minutes at most between. …

wowhead have a little competition (for the USA) to herald Blizzard’s ‘blizzcast’ podcast. What a mouthful.

Stun and Quel

I found this interesting further reading on the change behind ghoul-stun (and Paladin’s hammer stun too).
The second blue is about dual-wield tanking, and basically more bad news for DW-tanks. Most 1H tank weapons are too fast (and therefore creating too much parry-gib risk), and the blue mistakenly refers to the upcoming warrior/paladin tank weapon as something we might want. Actually, we can’t even wield it. I wonder if the blue poster will correct himself… it’s Ghostcrawler.
