How do you see yourself evolving as an "athlete-turned-entrepreneur? Ten years ago,the thought of a professional gamer would have been absurd.
We want players to play the game continually with multiple classes. But, we also want players to fully develop a single class. So the answer is both. We want both.

This generally isn't my area of knowledge, but in my experience with level 80 mobs and only having 100 some hit rating due to upgrades and what not of gear as balance I find myself missing them more. Which brings me to the conclusion that wouldn't having an item that gives mediocre AP, a solid hit rating and expertise make it more valuable than say something that procs off the end of a kill or requires a useage with a cooldown? <br />They always say hit is the most damage worthy stat you can get until you cap.- <br />Arex ~ Druid 搂 Ciant ~ Paladin <br />Seems lik...

Blizzard Prepares World of Warcraft Update
2010-02-06 00:00:00
Blizzard is getting ready for the release of the second expansion for its blockbuster MMO WorldWarcraft. But before Wrath of the Lich King can present its glory to all gamers, the game will receive another update, which seems to be massive, in the coming weeks. The idea is that the game is not ready for the expansion yet, as most of the content and features that are now available need to be "bridged" to the expansion.<br /><br />The update will include new class spells, talents, plus two arenas which are specifically designed with new ...

Now I know the obvious response is that

Nkle of the Juggernaut Broh of Deftness Now I know the obvious response is that Juggernaut is the more tankish nkle sie it has +22 defense skill. The Tankspot gear rankings even list it far below Nkle of the Juggernaut. But it seems to me that with sh a large amount of hit rating and expertise, and 15 more stamina than the Nkle of the Juggernaut, the extra defense from NotJ is negligible. Besides, I'm sitting on 525 defense anyway, +22 defense rating will bring me down prtally not at all. Link to this 2 replies Feb 16th 2...

Gear vs. Skill
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Bell over at 4 Haelz made an interesting post about gear and skill. She relates several experiences where, looking for group, players ask for her 'stats' and grill her further upon finding out that she's on the low end of the spectrum numbers-wise. Sometimes, those players don't invite her or, worse, log off from their party without even giving her a chance to prove herself. But there's a flip side, too, and Bell tells of running Heroic Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom with a tank who gave her a chance. That story ends well and a Druid in less-than-stellar gear earns some new friends along the way (and hopefully loot, although she didn't mention that). This is an old and valid argument. ...
