New Website!

I have a brand new website in the works. It's not done yet, but since I'm already posting some content there I thought I would share the link. Introducing MMO Cover ! MMO Cover will be replacing FlashHeal.net once I finish migrating all of my content over there. You shouldn't even have to update your...

WoW Insider's Resto Shaman Retrospective

Joe Perez of WoW Insider has posted a Resto Shaman Retrospecitive for 2011 . Maybe it's just me, but this retrospective is nearly totally at odds with my experience in 2011 as a Resto Shaman. For most of Cataclsym I have felt underpowered compared to the other healing specs, not just in terms of healing...

SWTOR: Healing with your Focus Target

Thoughts on Star Wars: The Old Republic

The Good Visuals The game looks great. The environment are beautiful, well thought out, and convincingly real within the context of the game. The gear and items in the game are also well done, and seem to fit into the Star Wars theme very well. Questing The story-driven quests are excellent. The voice...

Dragon Soul and LFR Follow-up

To follow up with my Dragon Soul and LFR post on the weekend, Matthew McCurley from WoW Insider has written a nice summary of how he sees the LFR difficulty: The Raid Finder will never be "too easy." People are completely missing the point of the Raid Finder if you ever think that it is "too...

Dragon Soul and Looking for Raid

Patch 4.3 has been out for a few days now, and I've run through both 10 person normal and the Looking for Raid versions of Dragon Soul. There's not much to say other than Dragon Soul is too easy . We one-shot everything except Hagara the Binder and Ultraxion, gave Warmaster Blackhorn one quick attempt...

PTR 4.3 Resto Shaman Testing

Resto Shaman - Ancestral Fortitude After testing on the PTR, Ancestral Fortitude is looking interesting, but IMO it needs some work. It's better than I thought in some respects, but worse in others. The HP increase buff is called "Ancestral Vigor", it is independant of the Ancestral Fortitude...

Back In The Game!

Well for one night at least. Several months ago I suddenly became really busy in RL, and, after transferring guild leadership to my guild's co-founder (and previous GM), I took a break from the game. I think I've logged in maybe two or three times over the past couple of months, mostly just to say hi...

From Hells Heart I Stab at Thee

Really simple fight. No heals or tanks needed. From Hells Heart I Stab at Thee Ranged DPS (we used a hunter) gets aggro and tanks. Move backwards the entire time. Stay between 6 and 20 yards from the Whale Shark at all times. Closer than 6 yards and he "eats" you doing between 600,000 and 2...

KAHolyPower on WoW Insider

Looks like my KAHolyPower addon has gotten two mentions on WoW Insider this past week. The comments are pretty telling :) " While not the most polished of addons, it is one of the more simple ." " KA Holy Power is simple but sturdy ." So there you have it "while it's not the...
