So you want to Frost Strike?

Not to long ago I embarked on a journey to swap my dps spec from Blood to Frost and it’s been a fun ride. It has also taken me pretty deep down the rabbit hole into the mechanics of how to dish out the damage properly and learn many of the small intricacies that when added up can make a substantial difference in performance. I still have a great deal to learn but I’d like to share what I have already learned.
If you are interested in turning in your Heart …

Shatter the DK mediocrity illusion

Thinking back to the post about good Death Knights, we (meaning all the DK players out there) need to destroy the illusion that Death Knights are for average players, face-rollers, newb-bait, and piss poor. I want to see a change in the perception of Death Knights in WoW.
Even with the additional content released in patch 3.3, you may still see Death Knight players of lower level spouting rubbish, or horsing around as alts. Even worse is that I think the DK class is still not beyond all the stupidity of …

Blizzard announces staged release of Icecrown Citadel

Blizzard just announced that Icecrown Citadel will be a staged release much like Crusader’s Coliseum was. It will be broken up into four separate sections: The Lower Spire, Plagueworks, Crimson Hall, and Frostwing Halls. The Lower Spire will be released first which includes Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Icecrown Gunship Battle, and Deathbringer Saurfang so guilds can begin gathering information on these bosses for their 3.3 plan of attack. Blizzard has also announced that the final boss of each wing will have a limited number of attempts per week, much like …

What makes a good Death Knight?

If I was asked what makes a good class-toon normally I’d be looking for nice gear, following instructions, and being on vent as the top three. However Death Knights have built up a shady reputation over the lifespan of Wrath (DeathTard anyone?), in that everyone has played one, and a lot of people persist in playing them, making the opinions of the class are very broad.
To my perception after so many players trying the DK class it seems that even this long after release we are still seeing really bad …
