Most people who post around here know this stuff but a lot of people that read the site don't.  I present to you:

A Glossary of Tactical PvP Terms:

Reset:    To separate from the opposing party in a fight to heal/regain mana/restealth or many other options.  Examples of how it can be done include using Line-Of-Sight, vanish or immunity cooldowns (Divine Shield, Ice Block).

Zerg:    To focus all damage on one target, often seen as "zerg it down".  Usually involves using offensive cooldowns and ignor…  More

I went to MLG Dallas this afternoon for the finals and let me tell you:  awesome.  There were at least 30 people watching the finals, TOTALLY PACKED.

The final round was a blowout 6-1, great play with the new BM/enh/pal lineup.  I haven't seen the comp run at top level yet and it was really fast.  The damage output is over the top and I'm not sure I could even theorycraft a good reliable counter to it.  When it was DK/War/Pal vs Beastcleave (tm) the warrior dropped like a sack of potatoes.

I'm pos…  More

Title says it.  I haven't been to any pro gaming events, much less MLG and I don't know if there's an area the WoW players (known players) congregate.

Also, which day would be best to go?  Saturday?  Are the Warcraft matches played across the whole weekend or just on one day?  I don't want to go out to the Hilton Anatole on a day that they aren't playing Warcraft. 

I guess everyone doesn't want liquor or is under 21 - so I present the options I will have on hand:

Gentleman Jack.  The smoothest sip…  More

Our ****-tastic Netgear combo modem/router (why do they use these?  they overheat and work poorly and because of that also have a short lifespan before they literally burn out and do not function) bit the dust this week and I groaned from my soul.  I knew immediately how much of a hassle this would be to get someone out here to swap it with some other refurbed ****pile combo router.  Those reading this should know the phone system for Time Warner Cable is located in the deepest layer of hell.  <…  More

I thought I'd throw up an iPhone photo of myself shooting skeet and Texas-ing hard at an outdoor competitive shooting range.  19/25 that round, for those of you that follow.  The gun's a Rem 1100 12gauge.



Warriors have always had a hard time for a variety of reasons (all linked to the synergy they have always had with healers) such as complete gear dependency, but once I got Ironsoul this weekend and a good set of gear, my warrior became almost a different class.  Instead of slapping people with …  More

As everyone settles into the new rhythm of farm Naxx, get tokens for Ulduar gear, progress to new content I find myself on the verge of 1850.  Doing 1850 this late in the xpack with a Titansteel Destroyer and hateful/deadly gear isn't easy.

Who is going to be at MLG Dallas?  I live in Dallas and I'm going to go with a friend just to bask in the pale glow of nerdrage at least once in my WoW lifetime.  If you're going (and preferably 21) I'll be there with a flask of something.

Here's a visual refer…  More

My thought for a 51-point cornerstone subtlety talent has been this:

Out Of Sight

Your shadowstep ability now also brings you into improved stealth mode, making you more difficult to detect.  Duration of stealth: 4 seconds.

So with my proposed talent and a 10% ambush damage buff, you have a 20 second movement, offensive and defensive tool.  You can shadowstep to another player on their team then scoot away while the speed boost is on you, shadowstep to catch up to a disengaged hunter and cheapshot …  More

Klynx said: exactly, it's a big cost to use it.  you sink 50 energy to step/cheap shot, lowering the damage you will do during it. wojo said: my proposed change to taxes is that instead of paying them people get a free gift basket from the government containing assorted lotions and oils PullTheTricker said: No your correct on that. But its not our job to balance it out. We merely provide suggestions to inspire the devs. Balance is not up to us. We pay ...

I spent yesterday dicking around on all of my characters, leveling a lock a bit to 47, getting a level on my 64 DK, a level on Klynx and logged into my 70 druid and 70 warrior.  I love the rogue class, every mechanic inherent to it from being unseen to the 1 second GCD to the control I have over opponents 1v1... but there is no way I'm going to level it 6 more levels to 80, much less gear her out, without being sure it is the class I want to sink that time into.

Well guys, I'm giving this stank old horse one last lap.  I've reactivated my account for 60 days.  I looked at my life and thought, "This is probably the last opportunity I'll have to play Warcraft, or any MMO for that matter, in my lifetime."  At least with any dedication towards being geared and competitive.
