    I'm glad that most of the Paladins I've encountered in Arena are aggressively bad at the game. I have no idea how you fail to go 8-9/x with a class whose card pool is primarily composed of 2-for-1s.

    Everquest II

    Hmm, going to fire this up tonight. Guess I should probably use the Free 85+280AA to make whichever character is most soul-crushingly painful to level, but desired in grouping. So, Dirge, Troubador, or Defiler hooo

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    Still Raiding in WoW. Still having fun. Same as the last 10 years. I don't log on outside of raid, but I don't really lament "only" playing an MMO for 8-10 hours a week.

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    I'm pretty sure if we took children from their families at about 2 years of age and locked them in forced-learning camps we'd have some pretty awesomely educated kids. And hell, we can take the remedial students amongst them and finally actually find out how many 3rd Graders we can take in a...

    Asking for definitions of Yachting terms on the SAT was a pretty fabulous example of "standardization."

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    No sane educator would ever want a single-data point, one-attempt assessment to be the determiner of their student's future. At least, no educator who wasn't a complete and total shit-ass who shouldn't be working with kids.

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    Education is far more art than science. Every kid is unique, and learns differently. There are definitely pedagogy styles that work better, generally, than others, but that's generally a function of the social environment the child is being reared in. One school will have amazing success with...

    The correct sequence for Spoils is obviously smash everything immediately and listen to your healers shriek in terror. Gotta rock them Deeps charts!

    Having bad Trinkets and bad 4-PC bonus this tier is surprisingly liberating. I almost don't even feel compelled to even use my coins on bosses.

    Bear tanks are fine this tier. Last tier they were fine except for 25H (and even then were often fine in the offtank role; for instance they were fine for tanking Bats on HTortos, even if a monk kiter was infinitely preferable). They've done a good job of tank design this expansion. Even...

    That, and the voidzones in the main-room of the fight actually damage the big add that spawns, so a good tank "uses the environment" to drag the bastard on top of as much fire and sawblades as he can.

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    They've probably paid some Marketing guy $10 Million to tell them that Bad Publicity is actually great for the game, and that the sensationalism of the company's collapse totally means it's still a relevant IP in the minds of consumers!

    This tier's trinkets are pretty shit for Brewmaster. They're only "good" for gimmicks. If you get the -AOE damage cooldown trinket, and the -6 Cooldowns trinket on BM, you can solo-tank Malkorok's bloodrage phase, which saves your healers some healing. I wouldn't want those trinkets in like...

    I haven't been able to play any other Ranged since they made everything work while moving on Hunter. It just makes no sense to do the same DPS with crappier gameplay.

    In Diablo 2, Ladder Characters were seperate from Normal Characters, and could not group with non-ladder characters. When a ladder ended, the Ladder-Character became a Normal Character, and moved into the general population of characters. The ladders often contained special items or runewords...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    WOTLK raiding was so all-over-the-map. It had WoW raid design At its laziest: Nax 2.0 At its best: Ulduar At its most completely un-engagingly shitty: ToC At its most fulfilling: Lich King At its most filler: Hi Dragons!

    Another 5 bosses in as of last night, I am officially in love with the new Rushing Jade Wind as a Brewmaster. I get to keep my ridiculous AOE aggro and damage while still building Elusive Brew/Shuffle at its standard rate? I'll take it!

    Resto Shammies make it rain. As to the people talking about the Burdens upgrading things to 535, make sure you actually look at that upgrade v whatever you're currently wearing, it has a tendency to produce horrible single-stat items. We did flex raid last night as well, using trade pugs...

    New raid was amusing last night. Pride is the only fight in the first wing that actually punishes you for screwing things up. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it this weekend when we have more than an hour and a half to raid. Immerseus is fun with Paladin/Monk tanks, we handled like...

    Dunno if our raid group would survive going back up to 25 players. Having no Heroic Modes at 10M would be boring as shit. We got used to only having to deal with competent people we actually liked, instead of "Shodori's an asshole who names all of his pets Rapezilla, but he can mash his...

    I am heartily enjoying watching streamers hand their opponents 3-for-1s, then blame their loss on "RNG" or the opponent's class being broken.
