I like this it is another add-on I can eliminate

Mists of Pandaria Beta: New icons make questing a breeze

I'm torn between this being good and too easy

Breakfast Topic: What would be your victory music?

Mines a weird one, Tiƫsto's Love Comes Again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYwLLyy-hZQ). I had a history of associating it with epic kills in wow after hearing it as a soundtrack to a Lethon kill video by Nightmare's Asylum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlejDXILgKg) and then randomly having it play during my vanilla guild's 1st kill of Ragnaros before the sons spawning. Its just stuck from there.

Addon Spotlight: Grab Bag 7, probably the best grab bag

I think the addon you refer to is Hatrick (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6958-HatTrick.html) which was highlighted in Grab Bag 2 (http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/addon-spotlight-grab-bag-2/) although another nice addon is Helm n Cloak (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/helm-n-cloak) which allows helm/cloak visibility be set per outfit

5 ways to keep your tank happy in 5-man heroics

gogogo is a pet peeve. If unable to stop them doing it by asking nicely, a few times and a vote kick (either because of the cooldown or a failed vote my response is to say "if you insist I gogogo I will", /tar Mr gogogo then /wave and finally leave the group.

My wait for the cooldown is less of a penalty than the stress of dealing with the fools

Breakfast Topic: How do you decide which is your main?

Jan 3rd 2012 10:51PM (WoW)
My main is Evlyxx, a priest.

Evlyxx was my first character, my first to 60, my first to raid, my first to everything including my blog @ www.evlyxx.co.uk.

My playtime on her now is limited to valor capping each week and raiding and I play my alts more but once Panda time comes Evlyxx will be first to 90 and first to gear up to raid standard. Only once raiding and all non raiding gear options are exhausted will the alts be let loose for anything other than profession levelling.

My name is Evlyxx and I am a priest.

The Queue: Big bugs

Jan 1st 2012 12:46PM (WoW)
Sadly many people cheat the system by having high level BoE gear like trinkets, rings and necks in their bags.

One of my guildies does this and manages to get into the raid finder even though they can't legitimately run the HoT 5 mans. Having gear to get in the instance isnt the same as wearing it, it time that the game required people to have the gear equipped when they queue up and then checks again just before they enter.

I would also like to see PVP gear have 2 ilevels 1 for PvP and one for PvE where it is adjusted for the removal of the resilience from the item budget.

Bag cheats and PvP cheats need to be /slapped down so those that genuinely meet the requirements don't get branded by the elitists as having poor gear at a genuine 372 gear level.

The Light and How to Swing It: An updated look at the prot paladin rotation

For 25 man raiding tanks that's all well and good but for a 10 man/HC running tank those talents are essential so you KNOW you'll get the benefits they bring.

Also by dropping JoJ the only useful talent is Eternal Glory and that provides unreliable procs so while useful isn't something you can depend on.

The observation I will make about the build is that unless you are using the PoJ talent for the free Holy Power element or you can use the 1/2 talents elsewhere if you use Lava Walker enchant (http://www.wowhead.com/item=52782) as the talent does not stack with it. The viable options for this are the aforementioned Eternal Glory or the "monstrosity" that is Hallowed Ground.

My personal build is a 0/33/8 (http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/tool/talent-calculator#bc01!!kbjSeTTebQ!Ygj!jQPlmNnop) and yes I have Hallowed Ground ;p

Raid Rx: Top healing moments of 2011

Whilst all healing classes are technically hybrids, the only one that is a pure healer is the priest as they only get 1 non-healing spec.

Raid Rx: Top healing moments of 2011

Dec 31st 2011 4:41AM (WoW)
You say we'll have to go back to Heal again in Mists. Sadly that won't be true for all priests as Disc is not going to have access to this or Renew. I'm not sure if this will mean a new bubble type heal or if Disc will be expected to replace heal with Atonement, which I admit was way better than heal early on in 2011 anyways.
