Arcane Brilliance: Macros for mages

It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that comes to you this week from the desk in my upstairs bedroom, where I sit, pantsless (as is my custom), listening to chiptunes (Anamanaguchi!) and eating a giant bowl of Corn Pops. The wife and kids are out shopping, so it’s just you and [...]

Around Azeroth: Two tickets to the gun show

Sometimes a man just has to show off his biceps, even at the most inappropriate times.

Ready Check: Raiding debuffs and the final key to synergy

We’ve spent the last two weeks talking about the core raiding buffs, the eclectic raiding buffs, and how those combine to create synergy in your raid. The final step of that Voltron-esque sum-being-greater-than-the-parts are the host of debuffs that your raid can put out.
The thing about debuffs, though, is that many have to be actively [...]

Phat Loot Phriday: Muradin’s Spyglass

Trinkets. It’s always trinkets, isn’t it? A subject of great angst and controversy for every raider who’s trying to upgrade their kit. There’s just something about trinkets.
