Shared Topic Double Whammy! The Olden Days/Why So Many [insert class here] Blogs?!

SharedTopic

This week we have a double whammy of Shared Topic posts!  First off the rank we have a suggestion from Solomonx of Magetable:

I was playing my mage yesterday when I got to reminiscing about what raiding used to be like for me. Polymorphing, being only desired as a vending machine and portal maker…that kind of stuff. 

So what do you guys remember about the older days of WoW? Was it vanilla or BC? Do you miss it or are you glad that it’s gone? Post an entry telling the world you’re memories!

This was a very popular topic last week, with the following people responding:

Darkpurple from Druidic In Nature

Kae from Dreambound

Lerali from Casual WoW Player

Consolea from Magic and Madness

Erinys from Harpy’s Nest

Ysinnia from Limb to limb

Lissanna from Restokin

Spinks from Spinksville

Gweninu from Out of Ammo

 

The other topic was suggested by Shopshopshop of Runeforge Gossip:

I have absolutely no evidence that there really are more druid/hunter blogs than other types (though this seems to be the case from looking at the BA author intro forums). Basically my idea for this is to have people just come up with random/serious/funny reasons as to why there are so many hunters and druids who blog but not other classes. You could also give reasons why some classes don’t blog, like, say… "Mages don’t blog because they are vending machines, and everyone knows vending machines can’t talk/write."

So far this week, Calli of Pew Pew Lazers has come up with a great response, examining why the heck there are so many Druid blogs out there!

Resource Site Spotlight: Bosskillers.com

titleHi folks! Today I’ll be profiling Bosskillers.com (link, wiki entry). This is a very good site to have open while you raid. It has a large database of boss guides, covering virtually every boss in all the available content. Simply select the dungeon you’re crawling from the left dropdown menu, and then select the boss you’re trying to figure out. They’ll have the basics about the bosses abilities, as well as more advanced strategy that can help you get your group’s first kill.

If you’re the payin’ sort, you can get animated guides, and if you’re the writin’ sort, you can try your hand at writing a guide. Take a look at this new Coliseum boss– no guides yet. I remember when Wrath and Ulduar were first released, Bosskillers had a promotion where they would pay something like 100$ for a good guide on a new boss.

Till next time!

The resource site spotlight (aka wiki tiki utility posts) should happen every week, but is written by Euripides from outdps.com, and endeavors to fill your favorites bar with an unmanageably large quantity of WOW resource sites. So much knowledge that it hurts. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
