Zul’Aman

I’ve been doing some running around on PTR, and got together with a few guildies and 1 pug for a 5-man Zul’Aman exploration. I must say it looks great.
I can confirm that the first 2 guards and adds do not require T4 or higher to beat – 2 tanks, 1 healer, 2 dps is enough [...]

Tranquility!

I respecced today to heal in Karazhan, which wasn’t too bad. I fairly enjoyed myself keeping 10 people alive.
After the raid, some of us decided to go do an heroic. So there I was healing an heroic Slave Pens, which was fairly doable in the first few rooms. But then we got to the part [...]

Rage and threat

There’s a lot of interesting talk going on in the world of blogs, and there’s a lot I’d like to emphasize or talk about. Though this bit caught my eye thinking: I can add something to that without having 2 pages of formula’s and tables. (not that I’m not a math-guy, I am)
Karthis rightfully concluded [...]

Numbers

To be honest, I’m getting a little annoyed by all the subtle differences in various attempts to quantify the value of equipable items for tanking. Where are these Tanking points, Mitigation points and whatever they’re called coming from? What gives the maker of these things the idea that I want to put avoidance ahead of [...]
