Microtransactions are big in gaming right now — and in Blizzard games, some of those "micro" transactions don't seem so micro.
Zoom through Hearthstone with this warlock Zoo deck
by Matt Low on June 7, 2015 at 6:00pm @Matticus
At first glance, Zoo might seem awfully similar to Face hunter largely due to the cheap minions. A Face hunter deck relies on numerous cheap and aggressive minions to batter away at the opponent while relying on their Steady Shot hero power to chip away. However, the Warlock Zoo deck here will be using the minions to completely dominate the board first.

by Stacey Landry on June 7, 2015 at 4:00pm
Mages have many options only available to us when it comes to plodding along on the ground. We’ll start off with transportation aids that aren’t class specific and then move on to the good, Mage only stuff.

BlizzCaps: A pirate’s life for me
by Elizabeth Wachowski on June 7, 2015 at 10:00am
Damn warriors and their penchant for dismembering anything in sight. But who can resist ridding the world of one more pigtailed gnome? And before you accuse me of being ... faction-ist, I guess, please note that I have similar feelings about blood elves with that ridiculous Peg Bundy hairdo.

Blood Pact: Warlock heirlooms and starting specs
by Megan O'Neill on June 6, 2015 at 7:00pm @_poneria
I love the leveling experience and getting to figure out what buttons to press to defeat semi-challenging content. But I know that when it's your seventy-bazillionth alt, or perhaps even your seventy-bazillionth Warlock alt, it's not about the journey anymore. Let's just fast forward to the end already.

Tanking for Beginners: Getting started
by Matthew Rossi on June 6, 2015 at 4:00pm @MatthewWRossi
Tanking in a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft is when certain classes (Monks, Death Knights, Warriors, Paladins and Druids, in the case of WoW) choose a specialization and perform a role that is intended to keep the monsters in a dungeon or raid focused on said tank, and not instead on the healers or damage dealers in the group. You may already have known that, but it can be useful to establish basics right up front.
