Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: DK Blues

I don’t mean I’m sad, I literally mean the blue gear you get as a DK. It looks sweet, it’s pretty awesome stats (competitive with Outland gear) and I’ll likely keep it forever for the mogging. I like it.

So far the DK feels significantly weaker than the monk did, and that’s awesome. The monk dominated low level play. My brewmaster monk absolutely owned every pull. Now, on a level 60 blood DK, I have to actually work to stay alive and I don’t utterly destroy the DPS charts the way the monk did. I know monks aren’t super strong at max level, but up to 55, they’re crazy strong.

I’m happy again. This is me being happy. The death knight seems more fun to play.

Now for the Queue.


The Queue: Every so often I try and be fair to the Horde

Not often, mind you. I generally think that orcs, at best, make some truly awful decisions and trust absolutely the last people you should trust to lead them, and at worst they listen to Gul’dan. The first thing anyone should do upon encountering Gul’dan is to stab him in the stomach several hundred times. The fact that we let him go when we got into Tanaan, that was just… man. I’m positive I should have just started stabbing.

Oh, you’re trapped and they are using you to power the Dark Portal? Well, I can think of a very on point solution to that problem!

Anyway, it’s The Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard and its games.
