AFR #227 – Alternatives

<<First comic <Previous comic | Next comic> Latest comics>>

Of course, anything datamined off the PTR has to be taken as only slightly more reliable than a pencil sketch on the back of an envelope fished out of Ghostcrawler’s waste basket, but the idea of triple spec is still intriguing.  Of course, it would make a much bigger difference to some classes than to others.  Druids, paladins, and monks, for instance, have the choice of being tanks, dps, or healers.  Rogues and hunters, on the other hand, are really only choosing between different methods of sticking pointy things into their enemies.

There are few sights in WoW as wonderful as a gnome riding an elekk or a mammoth.  A Tauren riding a hawkstrider is one of them.

AFR #225 – Inspirational

We found the kid.  Why are we still in Pandaria?  Yes, I know we’re there because it’s a new place to explore and do quests and kill bad guys and take their stuff, but story-wise?  The Horde quests say something about seizing the new land’s resources, but unless the ability to grow huge vegetables is critical to the Horde’s war effort, I don’t really see what the Horde stands to gain in Pandaria that is worth the commitment of troops and effort.  And the Alliance really needs a better mission statement than: “Stop the Horde from doing stuff.”

AFR #224 – Noteworthy

Not being currently a raider, I haven’t paid much attention to the 5.2 patch news.  I knew it was coming and I knew that it was highly anticipated, but I was pretty out of the loop on exactly what was coming.  So, this was more or less my actual reaction upon reading the patch notes last Tuesday: “25% less damage but 15% shorter cooldown on that ability, this talent is replaced with something new, that ability HOLY SCHNEIKES,  DINOSAURS!!”

My poor little hunter is barely 35.  It’s going to be a long wait for that pet triceratops.

Midterm interlude

This has nothing to do with WoW, sorry, I just thought I’d share. I was giving exams today, which left me with free time on my hands and whiteboard to doodle on. I didn’t have a camera on hand, so here’s a few of my doodles reproduced with Paint.  Don’t worry, I’ll be back this weekend with the usual AFR comic.  See you then.
