On gap-closers and empty GCDs
Ogres are like big, stupid rats. They breed fast, they infest everywhere that can hold even a small ogre mound, and once they’re in, it’s extremely hard to get rid of them. While they are indeed often tremendously stupid, they’re also very physically powerful, so it’s hard to stamp them out. (These are guys who survived the Gronn for years.) As for what the ogre females look like or where ogre babies come from, I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.
Kriegle asked:
Where exactly is the Pit of Saron? I’ve flown all around ICC and Southern Icecrown, and I can’t seem to find what should be a pretty conspicuous giant floating skull and quarry of slaves.
A wizard did it.
Seriously, as several of your fellow readers commented, it’s best to treat the whole issue of where instances are in the world with a bit of suspension of disbelief. While it’s possible, say, to estimate which of those platforms outside the ICC spire are ones the gunships dock on or the one you fight Deathbringer Saurfang on, they clearly don’t match up in scale, and if you fly to the top of the Citadel, the Frozen Throne is curiously unfinished. There are places in Icecrown Glacier that would be suitable for the Pit of Saron, but they lack things like free space into which to fit a huge saronite quarry, because there’s just no room for them on the existing map. I mean, where does the final escape from Arthas

In World of Warcraft Quest: Killin’ things
We’re on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Don’t mind me, strange squishy silver blob thing. I’m just a box. A box full of stabbing. Speaking of killing, there were a few pretty interesting posts around the blogosphere recently that discussed the topic of “virtual murder” and the habit of killing things in video games:
* Tobold’s MMORPG blog asks why there’s so much virtual murder out there.
* The Noisy Rogue ponders the idea of killing’s becoming utterly mundane.
* Jinxed Thoughts wonders what would happen if you could kill anyone in game, regardless of faction.
* On a happier, less murderous note, Big Bear Butt would like to tell you about a few of his favorite things.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

In world o f Warcraft:Restoration bucket list and updates
Normally, a bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die. For our purposes, it will be a list of things to do before the next expansion drops and the current one becomes, for lack of a better term, obsolete. The main focus of everyone of late has been the Cataclysm expansion. A lot of things are changing, the world is being sundered and not everything about the future is known to us yet. There are still a lot of entertaining things to do and things to accomplish though before the world is torn apart and everything changed.
Cataclysm updates
Another week, another beta build. This week changes were fairly significant, but not all of them solely healing-related.
Glyphs have been moved over into the general tab of your spell book, and once learned, can be applied at will to your glyph slots. This is particularly handy if you find yourself swapping glyphs between fights or zones fairly consistently.
Relics are now changed to add stats and a socket instead of effect bonuses. For us, that means some serious change. For example, Totem of the Surging Sea currently adds 85 spellpower for 15 seconds every time we cast Riptide, up to three stacks. In Cataclysm, however it will be changed to the following:
* 77 stamina
* 51 intellect
* 34 spirit
* 1 red socket
It still counts as an air, earth, fire and water totem, but the change is fairly significant. To be honest, I’m not certain I like the change to

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.
No particular reason for this image, just that I think Dalton Ghetti’s pencil-tip mini-sculptures are amazing.
Eregos ftw! asked:
Is the pathing for flights in old world better then it is currently in live? I don’t want to fly for 20 mins when the place I want to go is only 2 zones over…
Yep, flight pathing has been improved in several zones, largely due to the addition of plenty of new flight paths in said zones.
Orkchop asked:
Is it possible to have the WoW Insider Show 5 days a week? Maybe you guys could just ride with my on my commute to and from work?
OH, and could Robin, Adam, Alex, Allison, Lisa or Liz Harper be a guest host one time? Oh and more Anne, too, of course.
I know you’re only joking, at least about the first part, but man, that’d be a lot of work. Especially for Adam, who has to edit the audio. We’re not against doing the show more than once per week in the future, though.
shotgun.shenanigans asked:
We know in Cataclysm we’ll have to visit a dungeon’s entrance for LFD to allow us to queue for it. Question is, how easy is it going to be to get to some dungeons that are in enemy territory? Is it going to automatically let us queue for Stockades/RFC without visiting the entrances if we’re the opposite faction? What about things like

Kitty committee In World of Warcraft
Pwnzoar asked:
Is there any way to rearrange your characters on the character screen? I’d like to have my 80s at the top without deleting my other toons, rather than scattered around in the list.
Unfortunately, there’s currently no way to reorder your characters on the character select screen. People have been asking for this feature for years, but we’re not sure if we’ll ever get it. Recently, up and down arrows were added to the character select screen in the beta, but Blizzard said that it was just a quick thing that dev needed to test something and not related to a new feature.
Omniprime asked:
Someone told me that there will be free race changes available in Cataclysm. Is there any truth to this? I wouldn’t think so, but if I can get a head start on my tauren paladin by making a blood elf I will do it.
No, there’s no basis for that claim.
Snarkygoldfish asked:
Any word on what has/might happen to the rare spawns in the old world? I’ve been casually trying to make a list of them, and while I was working on Loremaster, check them off, one by one, as I clobbered the buggers. Was wondering if any of them are going away for good or will simply have their patrols/spawn times changed? Any new additions thus far?
Most rare spawns from vanilla still exist in Cataclysm, and there have been a ton of new ones added.
Caelin asked:
Will the new class/race combos (other than worgen and goblin, of course)

World of Warcraft Druid:Leveling 21-30
Once the news broke on Troll Druids (and, I would guess, Worgen Druids as well, assuming that Blizzard isn’t in the middle of a giant hoax), I sat back in my chair and held the following conversation with my subconscious, as I am so often wont to do:
ME: Troll Druids make no sense. Neither do Worgen Druids.
SUBCONSCIOUS: This is not about sense. This is about expanding your readership. Trolls + Worgen = MOAR DURIDS = more people reading Shifting Perspectives.
ME: That’s not a valid statistical assertion.
SUBCONSCIOUS: Cool story, bro. Everyone will be rolling a werewolf Worgen when the expansion hits. You know you will be.
ME: (silence)
SUBCONSCIOUS: Werewolves! How badass is that, is all I’m saying.
ME: But the Trolls hate the Elves! They wouldn’t be caught dead in Moonglade! And how the hell did the Worgen learn Druidic magic that took thousands of years to develop while some nutcase locked them behind the Greymane wall for 10 some-odd years?
SUBCONSCIOUS: Who cares?
ME (faltering): But…lore…wibba…wubba…
SUBCONSCIOUS: F%@k the lore! Now’s the time to make a mad bid for power! Grind the rest of the class columnists under your questionably-itemized i-level 239 boot!
ME: Screw you, I need to go write the column for this week.
SUBCONSCIOUS (shouts after me): WEREWOLVES WEREWOLVES WEREWOLVES!
All right, my newly-expanding readership, let’s get our collective nose back to the

How will Cataclysm’s evolving raid progression plans shape your guild? We’re betting that many of you raid leaders, guild officers and GMs are already making plans for what’s ahead — growing to accommodate an additional 10-man team, stretching to resize or reschedule your existing groups, maybe even shrinking down to become that tight-knit squad you’ve always dreamed of. Now’s the time to begin considering the possibilities.
Our Website is looking for submissions for a roundup article on how the changing face of raid progression will be affecting your guild. We’re looking for thoughtful reflections, between 50 and 200 words, on the road that lies ahead for your particular guild or raiding group. Preferably, you’re the GM or an officer of a guild or the leader of a regular raiding group (although we won’t discount submissions from other types of players). No Chicken Little or QQ submissions, please; our comments runneth over with delicious tears already, thanks. As with all guest post call-outs, only the best submissions will be accepted.
Here’s what to do: read up about the Seed program, sign up and then submit your article (you can’t see the article page unless you have a Seed account). Unfortunately, we are currently only able to take submissions from individuals living in the United States; we hope to be able to accept international submissions in the future. We’ll accept submissions for this

If you are a wow player,you will need world of warcarft guide about all world of warcarft not only the game introduce but also the player guides that the players play expenice,here are some the player’s play guides.
This WoW Mining guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Mining profession up from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.3
The next is the introduce of the strategy:
Mining is gathering profession and in my opinion, Mining is a real gold maker, you can even sell the lowest level Copper Ore for a decent amount of gold, level 80 players will buy them, because they are lazy to farm the materials at low levels.
Mining serves three professions: Blacksmithing, Engineering and Jewelcrafting, so it’s really good combined with any of these. Check out my Engineering guide, Jewelcrafting guide or my Blacksmithing guide if you want to level any of these professions.
I mentioned, I will show a fast way to level Mining, unfortunately it’s a gathering profession, and it takes time to level it up to 450, even if it’s a fast way. In this Mining guide I will try to list the best zones, where I found the most Mining nodes.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 – 80 Leveling Guide.
Guide Sections:
1 – 65 Copper mining
65 – 125 Copper, Tin,

Relative to the recent discussion about two well-known characters in the Warcraft universe battling it out, Kobrakaii asks on the forums who the strongest being in the entire Warcraft Universe is.
There’s lots of Warlock jokes (my favorite is the thought that the first Warlock with a 41-point Demonology talent will be the most powerful in the known Azeroth universe), “any pally for 8 seconds,” the expected suggestion of Arthas the Lich King, and even a mention of High Overlord Saurfang (who, with that link, might replace Captain Placeholder as my new favorite NPC). In the end, the debate basically comes down between Sargeras on the bad side (he’s a fallen Titan who’s become the main villain in Warcraft lore) and Elune on the good side– even though her identity in Azeroth as the “God” of the Night Elves isn’t quite clear even inside the Blizzard offices. Sargeras, however, is currently trapped in an “unbeing” state, so the title probably goes to the Titans, a group of beings who oversee the Universe (and eat old gods like C’thun for lunch– the Master’s Glaive in Darkshore is a remnant of the Titans’ power).
Of course, as Drysc points out later in the thread, Chris Metzen is really the most powerful being in the Warcraft universe. Way to ruin the fun, Drysc.From www.wow.com.
