Siha on Banana Shoulders has posted a really cool Jewelcrafting cheatsheet. I’m half tempted to print it out and post it next to my computer.

Paladin Divine Illumination Macro

Posted in Paladins at 8:32 am by Nibuca

Divine Illumination
Instant, 3 min cooldown
Reduces the mana cost of all spells by 50% for 15 sec.

Divine Illumination is deep in the Holy tree. It costs 0 mana and doesn’t trigger the global cooldown. I’ve had the talent for a very long time but I’ve been -really- bad about using it during combat. It’s one of those “long-ish” cooldowns so I try and “save it”. Which most of the time means that by the time I could best use it, I’m up to my ears in heals and forget to use it.

Warlock Seduction Macro

Posted in Lilac, Warlocks at 11:42 am by Nibuca

Last night Lilac was part of a level-appropriate guildie run through Slave Pens. We were Corddon (63 Protection Paladin), Khoss (62 Healing Shaman), Sae (62 Hunter), Booie (62 Fury Warrior), and Lilac (62 Affliction Warlock). We did fairly well. We had our fair share of wipes but it went well. As part of the run I got to try my hand at crowd control through Seduction.

It went ok.. but it looks like I need to think about it a little more and work out some decent macros.

I’ll Make You Famous!!! (AKA: OMG! I have a fan!)

Posted in Tatia at 9:09 am by Nibuca

First I posted my Lurter video. Gently ribbing my brother (and the guild) about lurting.. with a piece of candid video from an actual lurt. The extra commentary from the guild was priceless and I -had- just figured out how to make videos.. and it made me laugh.

Then WowInsider linked to it. (WTG guys.. Krullwyn, my brother was less than thrilled to be the poster-boy for lurting ) Luckily he’s my brother and he has to love me.

Then I posted this to my blog last Thursday:

Then yesterday WowInsider posted the screenshot and a link to my post about “AskPrice”.

Then last night Khoss says he’s getting tells and sends me this in email:
This is one of three tells I got in game today. This is the only one I saved.

I’d better get my own dressing room for this.

For the record, the GM is my fiancee. and OMG! I have a fan!

Further for the record I’ve warned guildies and new-joins that I have a blog.. and they will be mentioned. I guess I should have blanked out the name. But geez.. sometimes it’s fun to be famous… ish.

Guild First: Netherspite

Posted in Tatia at 12:52 am by Nibuca

Finally! We figured out juggling the beams. I still hate the red beam with the fiery hot passion of a thousand burning suns.. but at least we’ve proven we can do it.

We finally downed him with only 30 seconds left before he enraged!

MOVED!!

Posted in Metablog at 5:58 pm by Nibuca

If you are seeing this you are on the right URL(and following the right feed through feedburner)

I used to be there and now I’m here.

Why: This removes “warcraft” from the blog URL and hopefully makes it easier for *ahem* some people to click through to the articles.

Speccing by Shotgun

Posted in Hunters at 9:55 am by Nibuca

So I play a lot of toons. I’m getting a feel for them as I play them.

I’ve dug deeply into the Paladin and Warlock spec trees. I completely -get- the Holy and Protection Paladin trees. I’ve compared the different talents and come up with my favorite Holy and Protection specs. I’ve read all the talents and understand their tradeoffs. I leveled my Paladin before the buff to the Retribution tree and I’ve never gotten a chance to play her as full Retribution so I’ve never dug very deeply into that branch to figure out a good full Retribution Spec. I’m ok with that. (Fiancee is currently leveling as Retribution and I feel bad that I can’t offer him better advice.)

I’m fairly knowledgeable about the Warlock trees. I -get- Affliction and have a vague understanding of Destruction and Demonology.. but not enough to talk knowledgeably about which are the best talents for a good Destruction or Demonology spec. Still.. I kinda get it.

I realized this weekend I totally don’t get the Hunter trees (or the Druid trees for that matter).

I’m not sure how it’s possible.. but I’m pretty sure West Kingdom has got all of these people in one 10-man group.

Posted in Lilac, Warlocks at 9:44 am by Nibuca

I’ve finally hit my groove with Lilac. It’s not total.. and I haven’t moved up to taking on multiple mobs.. but I was able to fully dot up a mob to the point where it ran at me.. and then use a combination of kiting/fearing to get the last little bit of health out of the mob without actually being hit by the mob. Additionally I was able to do this and end the fight at nearly full health/mana. Feeling kind of uber.
