Farming Honor

Since I've been 80 and trying to get as much honor gear as I can in a short time I've been trying to figure out what the fastest way is. I tend to do a few different things that yield a good amount of honor but I'm looking for some opinions from other players. I like doing Wintergrasp when it's up and I like doing all of the BG's, not just one. My approach so far has been to play Wintergrasp when I can and in the meantime, play a rotation of all the BG's so that I can collect all the different marks needed to turn in for honor. I also know that some people like to just farm AV since it gives a high amount of honor each time.

I have posted a poll on the sidebar of this page to try to find out what everyone else thinks is best. Also, please leave comments on here if you have an option that maybe I didn't get into. I look forward to hearing what you all think, until next time....

It's been awhile / Duck update

Hi everyone, sorry for the long break. I've had some RL issues that needed to be taken care of. Now that everything is taken care of I'll be able to get back to getting you some updates.

One update I wanted to share with everyone is that I finally made it to 80! Since making it to 80 I've played my share of battle grounds and I've managed to pick up a few pieces of gear. Instead of running around in my season 3 arena gear I'm now in 3/5 Hateful Gladiator gear. I know that's not the best gear by any means but it's a huge upgrade from where I was. I'm going to continue to keep you up to date on my gear as it advances. I've noticed that I have the ability to compete and have a ton more fun with pvp now.

As part of that fun, I've started a 2v2 arena team with my warlock friend Zeromaz. We're having a lot of fun so far and I think that combo is highly underrated. We managed to make it over 1k rating in our first ten games. Now I know your thinking, "1k rating sux!!", but you have to admit that reaching that rating in ten games with two classes that supposedly suck together and are both in season 3 gear is pretty good!

I'll keep you updated on how the team is doing, but more importantly I'll start putting together the battle ground footage that I have for you. I want everyone to see how much fun a battle ground can be when you have even just one player along side you playing the correct playstyle. Until next time.....

Gem Poll Closed

Just wanted to let everyone know the results of the poll over the armor gems. We had a pretty good number of votes and everyone agreed that the gems would work as long as they were for at least 100 armor or more per gem. Please read the previous post about this to get all the info on what this discussion was all about. Here is a LINK to it for you to read.

The poll for this week will be posted up tomorrow so be sue to check back.

So Close

I wanted to let everyone know that I hit 79 last night and I'm hoping that today will be the day I ding 80. I have some footage recorded that I'm going to post up this weekend of the spots that I used to aoe grind my way through Northrend. It'll be quick and to the point and it'll end with me being level 80. Can't wait to ding so I can start working on the pvp videos for everyone. Until next time.

Armor Gems

I saw a recent discussion on the WoW forums that was posted by a good friend of mine about Armor gems. Here is a Link to it if you want to read it and I think you should. He talks about how casters (his class specifically) have a hard time with melee and he thinks that having armor gems in the game would give casters a way to enhance their play style by using them. There is some good talk in the post as well as the usual BS, but give it a read. You can post on the thread and also you can vote in my poll here.

I have posted a poll on this topic at the bottom of this page. Please take the time to vote on this. I really would like to know where people stand on this topic and what you think would or wouldn't work.

Going Up!

So in my last post I told you that I hit 76. Well over the weekend I also hit 77. I managed to get two levels in two days with minimal playtime. I have to recommend that if anyone wants to level as fast as possible to focus on grinding. I'm going to put together a full write up of where I found to go for the best results. I still have not been able to get to a good spot in icecrown to continue up to 80. That is my next task and I'll be doing that shortly so that I can get a decent guide out there for you. After that grinding guide is out, I'll be hitting the pvp videos hard.

I managed to play a bit of pvp over the weekend too. My friend Zeromaz and I had some great runs in Strand of the Ancients and Eye of the Storm. We didn't focus too much on Arathi Basin even though it was it's Holiday Weekend. We were going more for the marks that we didn't have. Overall we ended up getting about 20k honor over the weekend and getting our marks almost full. It was great fun and I'm looking forward to sharing my pvp experiences with everyone. Until next time.
