Random group fun (or not) 2010-03-24

I have been enjoying (gasp!) the new LFG tool and the added rewards associated with it (already gotten my idol slot upgraded from the shoddy green idol I had been I have tried instances (on normal, haven't gotten up the courage yet to do random heroics) that I wouldn't have thought I was ready for like Forge of Souls and Trial of Champions and found I can do them quite adequately. Granted, the tanks and dps probably overgear those instances, but ...

does Berserking and Rapid Fire stack? 2010-03-16

I'd say they stack. After a intimadate, I know my pet has enough hate, I pop a zerk and rapid fire and go to town on the mob. Throw in Arc. shots and you got yourself a party. I have not checked the added damage totals, but if +attack gear works for us, then I don't see why zerk would not.--If my answers frighten you then you should cease...

Marking is quite useful as others have said, but I really only mark the first 2 kills (unless there is aC target - rememberc? :) LOS pulling to group upasters and ranged mobs; another skill you want to make use of. Hit your first kill with IT, then run behind something, drop DnD when they ge...

The Daily Grind: Veni, vidi, Visa 2009-09-19

For many Westerners who have been involved in MMO culture for any length of time, you'll recognize this as a perenially evergreen topic; the role of RMT in gaming. Of course, with the recent news regarding the attempt to create a "legit" service whereby players can purchase game gold for their favorite MMO, we can't help but throw this out to be chewed on. Personally, while I understand the allure (after all, who wouldn't like to save the hour farming and instead enjoy an hour playing) the problem to me is a question of the structure of MMO culture. In the Western arena, MMOs are largely perceived to be a meritocracy, whereby those who perform the best, have superior forethought and tactics/strategies "win." They get the gear, they hit endgame, and while I would say that not all will necessaril...

In more recent incarnations of the game, items that are purely for vanity, or possible role-playing, have been added en masse.
