The Weekly Marmot - Taking out the Trash
posted
2011/03/01 at 4:04 PM
by
devolore
This week's discussion centers around "equally interesting yet non-epic-dropping non-bosses", otherwise referred to as "trash mobs". Why are they there? Are they just there to be a time sink? Or are there actually some real benefits to having trash in a raid instance?

The Weekly Marmot - Raid Leading: A Crash Course + PST Episode 17
posted
2011/02/22 at 4:05 PM

This week I take a direct stab at the question, "HOW DO I LEAD RAID?" I look at some of the most important responsibilities of a good raid leader, and what you can do to set yourself apart as the guy everyone wants to listen to. Ever finished a raid and felt like you've just been through the worst several hours of your life? Might wanna give this one a look!
Check out this week's Weekly Marmot, as well as last weeks PST (oops) after the break!

The Weekly Marmot - How Addons Alter Game Design
posted
2011/02/01 at 1:18 PM
by

This week, we look at addons from a little bit different of a perspective than usual. Instead of looking at what addons can do to affect the way you play directly, I get into some behind-the-scenes discussion of how addons change the way the developers have to approach their design of things like class and encounter balance. Does allowing players to create addons like DBM hurt the game? Or is there actually some benefit?

The Weekly Marmot - Raiding and Dual Specs
posted
2011/01/25 at 3:42 PM
by
devolore
This week, I talk about utilizing dual specs properly in your raid. Not just from an "oh crap all our heals are afk cookies" perspective, but how to use that flexibility on a more regular and "official" basis in order to strengthen your guild, how to make sure the dual specs you're using are gearing up effectively, and what it all means for the pure DPS classes!

So a lot of you were a little upset about my answer to Phalion's question on
last week's PST
. "How DARE you, Lore! Some people need vacation time!" you said. This week, I decided to take a little time and explain when and why that's acceptable -- and also when and why it's not. Also, I am very good at math.
