Project Lore

Okay... maybe not you... but there a re a huge number of people who have no freakin' idea how to play Eye of the Storm battleground. And why is this important? Because if you want to get your classes PvP boots, neck or weapon, you'll have to get a lot of these Marks. And with season 4 upon us, you'll also have to do arena, but that's a different blog. Here's the two strats that I have seen work best in EotS:

1. Hold two towers and control the middle. Period. Don't go for other towers or get pulled away by enticing PvP kills. Just defend the towers and keep taking the flag.
2. Hold three towers and defend. Period. Don't go for other towers or get pulled away by enticing PvP kills. Just defend the three towers.

That's it. Do one of those - NOT BOTH - and you'll get your marks. EotS is not a gankfest like AV or Warsong can deteriorate into from time to time. You must defend your position and hold it to secure a win. And EotS IS NOT capture the flag. That is a silly diversion to keep you away from your real objective of taking and defending the towers. Now go do suggestion 1 or 2 - NOT BOTH - and go get yourself some pretty little PvP boots.

There are sooooooo many people that say you should spec a mage in frost, that frost is the only way to go, and that the other talent trees, while cute in their own way, will never match up to the versatility of a frost mage. Ummm.... WRONG! Let's just say this right from the get go here peeps. I leveled, solo by the way, a squishy fire mage from nothing to a raiding / PvP machine - a fast casting, consistent damage, mana-managing fire mage that would just as soon scortch a PvPer's face off than debate the pros and cons of chill effect. Who freakin' cares about chill effect? At the end game are you chillin' a boss or frost novaing Vashj in SSC? Hell no. Now for trash maybe or battlegrounds all freakin' AV weekend, but at big boy boss time you want sustained DPS and mana management. You tell me who's gonna live longer in Hyjal? A mana efficient fire mage or a pet-poppin', blizzard throwin' frost mage? Sure I've hear the debate - improved frost nova and other frost tree elements make the frost mage a great croud controller and consistent DPS while only slightly sacraficing mana management. Sure. Maybe. I've yet to see it for myself. Trust me... I've speced frost for TK and that damn A'lar fight enough to know that I pop so many mana pots that I have to grind for an hour to get those mats again. And this is with Serpent-Coil Braid and Sorcerer's Alchemist Stone. And don't get me started on the arcane tree - amazing bust damage but the mana management is horrible. Tried it once... liked one shotin' elites in Netherstorm, but I hate drinkin water between every freakin' kill. So there you have it, my opinion, for what it's worth, on why I like a raidin fire mage machine as my main toon. If you got a super special tree combo that you think is more mana efficient than mine, let me know. Love to hear it. Maybe... Later

Welcome one and all to my Project Lore blog... What's there more to say than that, right? Actually a lot freakin' more. So hold on to your hats my fine little cyber friends. This is were I get to bitch about the stuff I can't type fast enough in guild chat while some affliction lock has got me dotted up to the teeth and some f'n rogue has crippled me once again in arena. I'll try to keep it clean here... no promises though... I mean I got the First Amendment on my side right? Well I'll let you know if I get a cease and desist order. In fact, I'll send you a copy to frame on your wall. Where was I? Oh yeah... bitchin' about stuff. Isn't that what a blog's for? Really? At least this one will be. And the topic: crap that annoys me while I'm playing World of Warcraft. Now it could be anything: the glare on the screen, my drink being half empty, or, my favorite, why can't the freakin' Alliance win a f'n battlegroud without the Horde being AF-freakin'-K! AHHHH!H!H!HH!!!! You try to get 28K honor points and 40 EotS Marks on a server who's chief comment in battlegrounds by the by the people who think that know what they are doing is "quit being stupid!" Those idiots. Tactic will be covered later. BTW - If I ever see someone in battleground with some stupid, jack@$$ comment like that, I will always report them being AFK or for spamming. Try to shake that one idiot. Well I don't want to lose all my venom here. I might have a nice comment or two in blogs to come. We'll see... Either way, thanks for showin' up and have fun playing.

So this is blogging... should I say "blogging" or "bloggin?" Should one street up his first post of keep it official? I'm thinking official, then street. So here it goes: Welcome to the wonderful world of Project Lore! It's times like these, launching a new WoW website, that it's great to be alive. I've been playing this game for years and now finally I can turn my hours of game time into MONEY! Ok well not like gold farmer money but you know like paperboy money. So sit back and enjoy the love that Lore has to offer. Also the boys and I will be twittering, and video blogging so stay tuned. - DrDark
