Alpha Protocol!?

Just saw some screenies from this soon-to-launch game. It looks promising. Might actually try it!

Sigh... summer time and exams.

It's definitely noticeable that people are starting to take some more time off raiding. This is the third raid in a row we would have to cancel, but the socials and friends in the guild came and helped us. We wanted to do heroic tries on Sindragosa and Putricide, to get LK HC some tries - but alas. We did them all normal. I did get my trinket from Sindragosa though, which is brilliant enough.

Oh yeah BRB gotta take an exam.

Pesky Tower Defences...

So here I am again, back to playing Warcraft 3 Tower Defence games...
They are so addictive. It's the same stuff over again, building towers to stop those creeps from reaching the end - but still damned addictive.

BRB, playing TD.

Part 1: World of Warcraft

WoW is a game that I have been playing since it was released. I've taken some breaks, mainly in TBC but I am now back to full-time gaming again. I've played a mage since beta, and I still find it the most interesting and enjoyable class to play in PvE. PvP? Well I stink so I don't think PvP is very fun. At all.

My guild and I are currently at Lich King Heroic 25 in ICC. As so many other guilds around. Sindragosa and Putricide each still require a load of tries, though, so we will need to get those two on farm before we can utilize all our tries on the mighty Lich King that we so desperately want to kill and loot.

Until you can get to The Lich King, there are some obstacles in the way. If' your guild just started heroics, you will have a fun time taking down Marrowgar and Gunship, those are easy mode. The next boss you would want to try is Rotface 25 HC which is not that much harder than in normal, the ranged classes just have to be a bit more awake. After Rotface you should test your skills at Deathbringer Saurfang 25 HC.

Deathbringer Saurfang 25 HC:

I am going to say that this is a healing-intense fight, but in the end you will realize that the DPS needs to be pulling their best effort to get through the fight. If you lack DPS on the adds, they will start dying one by one. If your dps is not good enough after the enrage, your healers will go oom while spam-healing the marks. If you're a mage, make sure that you are not supposed to be the one taking aggro on your add before you use Mirror Image - or they will instantly pick your partner. DBS also gives a debuff that starts ticking for damage, try to iceblock it instantly to reduce the blood power that Saurfang gets from it. This fight is easy mode for the DPS as long as you can pick the right targets and kill them quickly enough. The healers MIGHT need a bigger adjustment period to get used to how the healing in this fight works.

Stay tuned for more.

DeRn's Gaming Blog is Live!

I've been thinking about this for some time, and I figured it was about time to start a blog in which I share my gaming experiences in new and old games. Being a gamer, I play extremely much. I play many games, some for hours over periods of time and some I play just to finish.

I realize that this is the first topic and that nobody at all might read it, but I talk to myself at times so why shouldn't I write to myself?
