Spicytuna in PTR: Day 2

This was the day I logged on and noticed the new Improved Blink and Icy Veins. I set my new “Home Point” at the inn keeper at the Sunwell since there won’t be a need anymore to Hearth to Gadgetzan for Mt. Hyjal (person in Shattrath can now teleport you to Caverns of Time if you are in [...]

Spicytuna in PTR: Day 1

So I finally was able to copy my character over to PTR (they were down for awhile) and got a chance to get a look at the new area for myself. I copied my mage over to the PvE realm on the test server, then made a couple of new characters to save “Spicytuna“ from being [...]

UI: Chat Windows

I have some more User Interface goodness for ya. I recieved alot of questions about my chat windows. Especially on how I did my combat log and what I did to make it show two different combat logs.
I use seven chat tabs total to make it easier to see information that I want to see.
Four of them [...]

New Improved Blink and New Icy Veins

Late post for tonight, but when I saw this, I HAD to post it. 
I just logged on to PTR and there was a new 2.4 build download. I checked the Talent Tree for my Mage and this is what I found. Under the Arcane Tree I saw a new Improve Blink, and under the Frost Tree I [...]

UI: eePanels

Alrighties… this will probably answer most of the emails I have been getting about my User Interface. The layout at the bottom of my screen is made possible by using the addon called eePanels. Those are pretty much the black boxes you see at the bottom of my UI, where I drag all the rest of my [...]

User Interface

One great thing about World of Warcraft is the ability to customize everything about your User Interface (UI). You can use Modifications (mods) to aid you in various ways throughout the game. It could be something as simple as showing you the cooldown of your spells, to something more complex like showing you your threat [...]

Anime Series - Winter 2008

It has been awhile since I wrote about any Anime that I have been watching. Doesn’t mean I stopped watching! There is a couple of Anime that I picked up during the Winter 07 Season that I found to be really good and worth a view. Also I have listed are series that started last season that [...]

Shattered!

One of the Frost Mages’ greatest weapon. It is the Frost Mage’s ability to do massive amounts of burst damage to an enemy target, leaving them with little to no time to react. Burst damage on par (if not better) than an AP + PoM -> Pyro Mage- without being a “3 Minute Mage”.
Now, I have been [...]

2.4 Tier 6 Gear

Finally! We get matching boots to go along with our Apple Bottom Jeans. Some of the Sunwell Plateau bosses will drop tokens for your T6 boots, belt and bracer. This will bring the T6 Set to 8 Pieces total. Now my Mage won’t get made fun of for not having a matching belt or boots [...]

Deathfrost

Sounds cool doesn’t it? It is the name of one of the new enchanting recipes for 2.4 that drops in Sunwell. The Sunwell Plateauis the new instance that will be introduced in Patch 2.4, where you finish off the fight with Kael’thas from Tempest Keep: The Eye, and eventually fight the Eradar Demon Lord, Kil’jaedan. Here is the new [...]

Spicytuna 2.0 - Coming Soon!

I am planning to move the blog over to my own domain so I have more control over what I can do with Wordpress. I will be able to play around with the layouts and such, and get the wow links to pop-up. So stay tuned! Hopefully the move will go flawlessly.
