Warlords Of Draenor

What I really enjoyed about Welcome to the Machine is that for a moment it took you out of that role of adventuring hero, and put you in the NPC position. It was an amazing, wonderful, weird quest, and I still consider it one of the highlights of the Cataclysm expansion. As much as I love the quest, though, I didn't really want an entire expansion of it.

Some changes to Enhancement have diminished our flavor a little. Others have just made the spec way less annoying to play.

Most rings are little more than an icon and a handful of stats, but some are so much more. Let's take a look at the strange history of Warcraft's rings.

In the midst of large banwaves and the announcement of lost subscriptions, VentureBeat recently published an interview with Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas.

What was Kairoz looking for?

This week we brush off the minor mastery changes up on the 6.2 PTR and address an issue that has been festering for years: the unremarkable Exorcism. What's wrong with it? What can be done to change it? Let's take a look.

You know, we spend a lot of time talking about the various Warlords of Draenor as they're presented in the latest expansion's version of history. Lords of War was supposedly Maraad's tales of these old warlords, but the stories were pretty specific. And in some cases -- like Kilrogg's vision of his death -- they seemed like a direct reference to the alternate version of Draenor's warlords, rather than our own.

The past few weeks have given us our first look at the changes in store for rogues in the next major content patch of the expansion. Join me, won't you, for a quick jaunt down patch 6.2 lane?

Earlier this week in Know Your Lore, I talked about why Grommash Hellscream should potentially stick around. I wasn't quite sure about his character after his Lords of War short, but what we've seen on Draenor kind of convinced me that I like the guy -- he's got potential.

It's not just Grommash's character we're looking at here -- it's the entire state of the Horde as we know it. Did the Horde need Garrosh Hellscream? Yes, it absolutely did, and now that he's gone, there's a void left behind that could be filled, oddly enough, by his father from another reality. But before you get me wrong here, I don't mean Grommash should fill that villain role. Far from it.
