I’m reinstalling warcraft as speak (er, as I type and you read, if you read this…). My goal it to start back with my pally, dps-ing it up till I get some new tanking/healing gear and then I’ll be in your pugs, noobing it up for ya!

Patch 3.1 is finally live. The servers were down all day and most of the night (for me, on the east coast). I guessed the servers would come up around 10pm EST and from what I saw, I was mostly right. I checked at 9 and my server was down. I checked again at 11:30ish [...]

The PTR has patch 3.1 on it. You can copy your character over and start your testing now. Now for patch note greatness (source)…
General
Players at maximum level will now be able to visit their trainer to pay a one-time fee and access the dual talent specialization feature. (1000 gold)
A new Gear Manager feature has been [...]

This is truly awesome! The first we’ve officially heard about dual specs and positive confirmation that it will be in the next patch (3.1). All of the information is very new and will take some time to digest. Here is the Q&A source. Below is the quoted text.

Last night, I was a part of a 25-man OS pug. I was uber-buffed – over 5k AP and just over 36% crit. Here is a screen shot I took just before were going to attempt Sarth.
Here are some other screenies of Dessara in her prot gear, with the Red Sword of Courage and it’s [...]

I respecced back to ret tonight. I have 2 new pieces of gear to try out and am excited to be putting up huge numbers once again. I’ve decided to go back to ret since my playtime over the past week has been extremely limited and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
This is [...]

This past weekend was a great weekend for my pally. I got a quite a few achievements, raided Naxxramas as ret (I actually left with four drops) and I bit the bullet and respecced prot and tanked my first WotLK instance, a heroic one at that!

I raided Naxx with my guild on Friday and Saturday [...]

There was a sweet enchant on the PTR named Titanguard. In it’s original design it was a weapon enchant that gave 75 stamina. It was changed to be a 50 stam enchant. The mats were relatively cheap in my opinion, 4 dream shards and 1 titanium bar. Now it appears that Blizzard has removed it [...]

In the very near future, I will be switching from ret to prot. When dual specs are implemented, I’ll be prot and ret (possibly prot and holy).
I have a very decent set of tanking gear (including the Bolstered Legplates from Heroic Violet Hold). I just got the 16 expertise JC pattern,  the Precise Scarlet [...]

I dumped 375 skinning and picked up jewelcrafting the day before Wrath of the Lich King was released.
A LOT of people told me that I was stupid for doing that. Some pointed out that I should have waited until I accrued enough money to level JC from 1-375 in one day. I can agree with [...]
