Axes, maces, lightning, Windfury, and wolves. It can mean only one thing: enhancement. Rich Maloy lives it and loves it. His main spec is enhance. His off-spec is enhance. He blogs about the life and times of enhance, and leads the guild Big Crits (Week 9 now out!) as the enhancement shaman Stoneybaby. With such a lame title, you’d never guess we have so much to talk about this week! Mastery bonus is … Read More »
It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance, your one-stop shop for weekly mage columns. Seriously, any time you want a weekly mage column, you can come here and obtain one. We do one thing here at Arcane Brilliance, but we do it well. Or if we don’t do it well, we at least do it hard. Or maybe just adequately. Pick an adverb. Any adverb, really. Insert it at the end of the phrase … Read More »
In a forum thread that started about the current state of talent tree design and the infamous “this tree is too bloated” vs. “there’s not enough choice” debate for each, our old crustacean pal Ghostcrawler comes in and waxes philosophical. While I think his entire answer is interesting, I’m going to focus on just one aspect of it here. Ghostcrawler – Re: Bloat vs. Choice I’m really not building towards any kind of … Read More »
Cataclysm Models – Twilight Ascendants I think this is the last model added in the latest beta build, it took a little more time than usual to get everything fixed because the new streaming client hates me but I think we should be ok. Actually, the next few days will probably be interesting. The Twilight Ascendant (Air) model has been added to the game, I also added the Fire model from last week to … Read More »

When Blizzard said they were going to start patrolling Moon Guard’s infamous Goldshire Inn for harassment and erotic roleplay, they weren’t messing around. Ederick of <Order of the Silverhand> on Moon Guard (US-A) spotted this purple Will Hays keeping a watchful eye on the loyal citizens and mild perverts of Goldshire.

Mini Deathwing The latest beta patch added the model of the Mini Deathwing to the game. It could be the Collector’s Edition pet but at this point there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the game files to confirm that. Best viewed with something cute to hug in your arms.

Some coastal areas made it through Cataclysm without much damage, but Darkshore is not one of those areas. Between Twilight’s Hammer activity, faction warfare and natural disasters, this shore just got a heck of a lot darker. Check out our gallery of images from Darkshore, below.

Today, Blizzard released an interview with Dave Kosak and Roman Marotte, two of Blizzard’s game designers, about their work in the cleft-in-twain Barrens of Cataclysm. Specifically, this interview deals with the Southern Barrens, which is almost completely redesigned from its vanilla counterpart. Taking place in the level 35 to 40 block in Kalimdor leveling, Southern Barrens should give both Alliance and Horde players plenty to talk about, according to Kosak and Marotte. Cataclysm … Read More »

Updates 01:10AM PST – Class changes are (finally) here. 11:30PM PST – Ysera looks great. 11:00PM PST – Added 6 screenshots of the game data streaming and added reforging. Classes changes are on the way. (Yes, "a few hours" doesn’t mean the eternity) 10:00PM PST – A lot of stuff is broken because well … working with streamed data isn’t fun. Classes changes will probably have to wait a few hours. Don’t worry, there … Read More »
