As the footsteps of 3.3 draws closer, I really hope that it will arrive this week. Maybe this will help me forget the horrors I'll be facing in camp this week....


Surprise me Blizzard
 

Ta-da! Brand new layout has arrived!

Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 8:28 PM | 1 comments

After hours of photo editing, smashing my face against the keyboard hoping to find the correct part of the html css code to edit the part of the blog I wanted, the new blog layout is finally ready!

Any comments appreciated. Should I use a darker background? Or should the font be smaller? Do note that I'm running on a 1920X1080 resolution so stuff may look bigger/smaller if your computer uses a different resolution.
 

First Look 3.3: 25man ICC lewt

at 4:33 AM | 0 comments

Welcome back to Part III of First Look 3.3. Today we'll be touching on 25man loot that drops from 25man normal ICC. Do note that Heroic version of raid loots will be better [well duh]

Armor

Gendarme's Cuirass - A very colorful chest, got for the socket bonus only if you lack meta gem requirement. Tasty amount of hit, good for both DKs and Pallies alike.

Blood-Soaked Saronite Stompers - Red and yellow socket with a good bonus, def worth going after. ArPen will turn off Retdins.

Fleshrending Gauntlets - Good for Retdins, not so much for DKs. Has a good color socket and bonus.

Landsoul's Horned Greathelm - Nice socket color and bonus. Hit and Crit makes for a good helmet for all plate dps class.

Raging Behemoth's Shoulderplates - Nothing much to comment here, good piece of shoulder. Feel free to go for the socket bonus.

Polar Bear Claw Bracers - Good bracers for all plate dps.

Winding Sheet - Haste and Crit combination might turn off DKs.

Weapon

Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter - A very interesting weapon that drops off Marrowgar [love the sexy look of it] Features a red and blue socket combo, not worth socking for. chance of hit effect goes in line with Ghostcrawler's vision of "proccy" weapons not seen since Vanilla WoW. How good is the bonus depends on the proc rate but the lifesteal part is simply icing.

Cryptmaker - A good 2H mace from ICC25, it has lots of HR and ArPen and 2 sockets [red and blue] to boot.

Scourgeborne Waraxe - A simple and boring fast weapon. Used for DW unholy spec only.

Bloodvenom Blade - Another boring 1H, straight upgrade from any 1H you might have.

Accessories

Skeleton Lord's Circle - A great ring if you're lacking expertise.

Might of Blight - THE dps ring for DKs.

Ring of Rotting Sinew - Great ring for DKs and Retdins.

Ahn'kahar Onyx Neckguard - Straight upgrade from Totc25

Deathbringer's Will - Rets will avoid this and DKs will love this. According to WoWhead, the procs gives you either STR, AGI, HASTE or ArPen. Whether it is totally random or "smart" remains to be seen.

So that's it for 25man ICC loot. Do check back for more updates.

Geez, they will just copy any popular stuff huh? For those who can't understand this, this video is a comparison of WotLK cinematic and a Chinese Drama's trailer
 

Arrival of the new one

Sunday, November 29, 2009 at 2:31 AM | 1 comments

Ah there always comes a day in everyone's life when they must embrace a new addition to their family. The feeling of anxiety, anticipate and even fear of the unknown are thick in the air. You sense yourself trembling with excitement but you cannot stop it.

What? I'm not talking about a baby.

No, I'm not pregnant.

In fact, I'm talking about my uber awesome new laptop that arrived yesterday :D
 

Evolution of Marrowgar

As the first boss of Icecrown Citadel, I am truly impressed by the amount of work and efforts put into the boss model. This is definitely one of the best boss models I have seen to date, kudos to Blizz's art team for creating such a kick ass model

First Look 3.3: Emblems of Frost

at 2:08 PM | 0 comments

Welcome back to Part II of First Look 3.3, the column where I discuss the merits of the newest gear from Icecrown Citadel and the new tier emblem gear. Do note that more items are being found daily and so do check back for more updates to the loot list.

Today, I'll be touching upon the Emblems of Frost gear. Obviously, the new tier of emblems drop from Icecrown Citadel and the new VoA boss. The ilvl of EoF gears is equivalent to ICC25 and should be a worthy investments if you choose not to go after the T10 sets and their bonuses.

Armor

Castle Breaker's Battleplate - Featuring 3 gem slots and a +8 STR bonus, the color requirements makes the bonus look lackluster. Go for it only if you need the colors to fill your meta gem requirement. ArPen makes this less desirable to Retdins while DKs will find this chest a good upgrade.

Gatecrasher's Gauntlets - Once again featuring ArPen, Rets will find that it's more worth it to spend their Emblems on other gear instead. Yellow and Red sockets make a good combination together with the +6 STR bonus.

Malevolent Girdle - A good belt for all plate wearers, the blue socket makes the bonus seems weak. Go for 3 red gems instead.

Might of the Ocean Serpent - The first Emblem cloak to feature STR, it's a must have for all who are unlucky enough to not see their cloak drop from ToTC25. The yellow socket and bonus is good enough for classes/spec that place high values on stats other than STR.

Accessories

Sigil of the Hanged Man - This sigil grants 219 STR fully stacked which is way better than the current EoT sigil. Plus, you get a guaranteed proc instead of relying on the RNG to proc the effect. A must have for all DKs.

Herkuml War Token - While featuring a high haste rating, Unholy DKs of the past would have lusted for this trink. There are definitely better options out there if you're looking for a decent trinket. The secondary effect models after Fury of the Five Flights, giving you 340 AP fully stacked. It's tough to see which effect is truly the main one and which one is icing on cake. [Personally, the haste seems more like the icing than the stacking AP effect]

Libram of Three Truths - Like all EoF relics, this libram stacks STR as you use a main ability. Fully stack, it gives you 220 STR at 100% proc rate. A must have for all Rets.

So that's all folks for this week's First Look. Do check back constantly for updates and more First Look coming your way next week.
