With the key to Scholomance forged and ready to be used, it's the perfect time to visit Stratholme. A full evening of dungeon-delving seems suited to the more expansive Stratholme, its two effective 'halves' offering greater options within the one dungeon, although the multiple diversions to visit all of ...

Vulzerda has retired, Qattara is unavailable, leaving only death knight and warlock. One's an agent of chaos, serving the Lich King, the other is, uh, pretty much the same. With blackness in our hearts, we have only one path to follow: the quest for achievements! Achievements and ...

Vulzerda's taking a break to tidy up her tan lines, which leaves the three of us wondering what to do. Our normal mainstay of lower-challenge, minimal-XP adventuring at this level would be to return to Blackrock Depths, but even with my new-found admiration for the dungeon I don't think ...

Death knight needs a companion. None of the pets I had as a paladin follow me to Acherus when I become a death knight, and I miss having a fluffy follower. But I know where to get them. Grabbing a friendly mage helps, starting in Dun Morogh ...

Kiska's fallen, and can't get up. The strain of trying to be pure and holy for fifty-eight levels has taken its toll. The final straw is being trained at 58th level with a single upgrade to a healing spell, which is next-to-useless for a front-line tank who is ...

With World of Warcraft's 3.1 patch comes changed talents and talent trees, giving an opportunity for a free respec! I grasp this opportunity with both hands and keep Sapphire a protection warrior and Gnomesblight a frosty death tank. However, that's not to say I made no changes, and ...

A little while back I got in to an Alliance raid to assassinate the four leaders of the Horde. Whilst Thrall and Sylvanas Windrunner fell to our onslaught a second raid had already visited Cairne Bloodhoof in Thunder Bluff and Lor'themar Theron in Silvermoon City, cutting the adventure short. ...

Despite getting my death knight up to 76th level after a run through the Old Kingdom, and my warrior reaching the same level by completing the Netherwing Drake grind and Dalaran cooking daily quests, the harsh level restrictions in Wrath of the Lich King raise their ugly head again. ...

A few times now I have been tanking in an instance and had trouble keeping an accompanying death knight pulling aggro from me. In each case the death knight has been in frost presence, greatly increasing their threat generation, rather than my own threat generation being lacking. Apart ...

Even though I am enjoying my Wintergrasp escapades and other occasional PvP battles in World of Warcraft they don't offer any XP, and I am not likely to get from 75th to 80th level on the Dalaran cooking daily quests alone. Being 80th level would make me more effective ...
