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

It was really hard to get people used to using crowd control in dungeons again when Cataclysm came out.  Eventually most people got the idea.  Then I would occasionally take my tank in a dungeon and find everything cc’d, and we would have to fight over whose cc would get broken first because we had to kill something.

The pre-Pandaria patch has really shaken things up, though more for some classes than for others.  It’s too early to know how things will really shape up, but it’s awfully confusing to be playing a warrior or a bear druid these days.  On the other hand, that’s what paladins go through every two years.  Rogues, though?  The most change rogues see from expansion to expansion is: “Hey, some of the stuff I used to have to carry around in my bag has gone gray.  Oh well, off to the vendor, then I can get back to stabbing things.”

I recently leveled both a warrior and a paladin through Outlands and was struck by how much agility there is on the plate gear.  It’s a memory of a bygone era when when agility was actually good for plate-wearing classes– elegant gear from a more civilized age, before the dark times, before the Cataclysm…

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

Morgatha is one kinky girl.  Not to mention creepy.  She’s… uh… creenky.

I can’t claim credit for any of the “This class does it…” jokes.  Those have been kicking around forever.  Even the ones I did come up with on my own are obvious enough that I’m sure lots of other people have thought of them before.
