The December 2011 Experience

It has been horrible.

Owait, this refers to my personal life. It also refers to the "technicalities" of said life. I am so happy that I have found the girl of my dreams, possible "the one". But that's just about it. Struggles in work, financial and all that jazz really makes it tough to keep up with the times, especially also with an expensive game such as WoW.

Game-wise, I am surprisingly pleased with LFR. It is a game-changer so to speak. While it makes missing your normal raids tolerable, if you are competitive and have that burning desire to achieve, it is nowhere near as close to the real thing, the real thing being the normal raid groups that you usually conduct prior to LFR.

I am also pleased with the theorycrafting that has been going on. Everything may seem "trivial" by referring to Elitist Jerks or whatnot, but with the current weapons and set bonuses, there are just those little tweaks that will spell normal high dps, to exceptional. And you do not need math for this, just simple commonsense. Why do I say this? It is simple. EJ always refers to the "perfect scenario". Always, always apply your own personal conditions, tendencies, margins of error and you will figure out another suitable scenario for your DK. I am currently wearing all Tier 13 gear, not by choice of course, but I have to live with it while we all hunt for our BiS.

Will be posting more soon, on addons, or what-have-you. :)

I do hope you enjoyed your Christmas! Cheers!

Review for Tools: Mr. Robot!

Do you crunch numbers, refuse to or cringe at the very sight of them?

Would you rather "enjoy" the game, and still be good?

Well, you have Mr. Robot!

This is a good theorycrafting site for those WoW aficionados that want the best out of their gear. What I personally like about this site is that it computes stuff for you, based on your current gear, and what it can be improved on. Also, upon cross-referencing its BiS with other sites, it is different, which keeps your creative juices flowing.

I subscribe to the theory that "your current gear is your BiS". True. While we all have to attain a certain set of gear to really be good, you also will have to take note that it is up to on how to juggle those stats and which gear to attain that is the easiest for you.

The problem I see, well, theorized with BiS setups is that while you try to achieve such, when you are in the middle of such process, everything else is broken. This simply means that you may even be underachieving, had you not changed this better piece for your crap piece, due to the difference in stat allocation. Please do take note of this.

Hope this stirs up the theorycrafting in you as well. Please do not look to your sites with BiS lists as unquestionable orders of God. They are definitely not. And adjust accordingly depending on your raid progression. Trying to get a weapon drop from Nefarian as BiS when you have been failing at trash is not practicable. Try to get something else.

And if you have other sites please let me know! Let us all share the wealth of information all over.
