MY dps has dropped by 200 per s and I am losing just as mh health per fight as before. Energy regen is awful now and I don't see anything great about mutilateonsidering it uses so mh energy. In ft my sinister strikes seem to do about the same damage as mutilate although they don't give me 2ombo's. I am still half dead after everyouple of fights no matter what I do. Something I have never understood about evierate is mine ALWAYS does 100 damage less then the minimum unless itrits. I mean right now it says 5 points should do 1213 to 1600. Every time it does around 1100 unless I get arital strike. I am s...

Who2009-04-13TGIF folks -- that means it's time for another installment of Ask WoW Insider. Last week we looked at the etiquette surrounding leaving an instance early as well as a bit of a trip down memory lane to highlight the best of Ask WoW Insider to date. This week we'll be speculating about a lore issue: who is the most badass character of all in Warcraft history? Killah writes:
Because of the recent activity regarding the new expansion set Wrath of the Lich King, it has come to my interest to find out about more about the lore in Warcraft. I was reading about the Lich King, his rise and fall, on WoWwiki. It suddenly appeared to me that the Lich King indeed possessed great powers, but yet...
Wintergrasp timer on Patch 3.1 PTR2009-04-13Here's a bit of news that some players might enjoy -- tipster Falrinn noted that Wintergrasp now has a global timer that lets players know when the next battle for the zone is slated to occur.

World of Warcraft Arena Tournament 2009 Announced2009-04-13Outside of gold farmers and those obsessive guys at Nihilum, not very many people get the opportunity to play a game like World of Warcraft professionally. For a select few, however, there's the annual Arena Tournament -- a six-week-long series of global player-versus-player events that culminate in a cash purse totaling over $200,000. Blizzard announced this morning that sign-ups for the 2009 Arena Tournament will be kicking off next Tuesday, February 17, and for the one-time entry fee of $20, players with existing World of Warcraft accounts can create up to three level 80 characters on the special Arena qualification servers.
What's the incentive -- apart from the aforementioned fat stack of...
World of Warcraft as evolutionary model2009-04-13This must be the time of year for zany social theories about videogames. First, we heard that World of Warcraft might quality as being a religion. Then we heard that it might make for better citizens. And now, in an essay over at Gamasutra on the event of Charles Darwin's birthday, Noah Falstein suggests that games like World of Warcraft are actually models for evolution -- as we level up with experience points, our characters get stronger and more evolved, and we feel comfortable with that because that's exactly what we see happening in the world around us.
Technically, of course, you can't model Darwin's theory of evolution with a single character -- evolution isn't about one indiv...
