WotLK: Alpha Mage Talents

As some of you already know, WoW’s new expansion, Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) is now in the Alpha testing phase, and keys were limited to “Friends and Family” of Blizzard Employees.
Even though these Alpha testers are under a Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA), if you do a little searching on the Internet, you will find [...]

Soul Eater - 8

Witch Medusa! ~Great Evil Possessing One’s Soul~
Episode 8 concludes the fight with Chrona and Medusa, and shows the outcome of the battle. What will happen to Soul?!

Over 2000 DPS on Brutallus

The WoWWebStats (WWS) Report came back from Tuesday night’s Sunwell Plateau raid, and I was able to break 2000 DPS on Brutallus. /flex epeen
My previous attempts were around 1700-1800 DPS, so I am glad I was able to increase my DPS with some new gear and some small bit of re-gemming.
Now for Brutallus, in order for [...]

Tier 6 Complete!

Another great Tuesday raid. Had a few trouble with the trash mobs that are in the Sunwell Plateau, the raid went well. Took out the first four bosses in Sunwell again in one night. This time, we will have two full raid days of attempts on the Eredar Twins!
I also managed to get my last piece [...]

Week 5/20 - Recap

Another fun filled week for me, including finally upgrading my outdated Wordpress 2.3.2 to Wordpress 2.5.1. and me going home to my parent’s house for the weekend for some grill’n and chill’n.
World of Warcraft:
Good raid week for Utada. Although we only had two days of raiding, we made good progress in the Sunwell Plateau. Killed the [...]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom

A new vs Capcom game has been announced and I am very excited. It is not a new Marvel vs Capcom or a new Capcom vs SNK. This time it is Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes.
Tatsunoko? Who? Tatsunoko is a Japanese animation company founded in 1962 by legendary anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida along with [...]

w00t! 7/8 Tier 6

After last weeks poor raid performance, we stepped it up for this week sucessfully, and took out the first three bosses of the Sunwell Plateau with little to no problems. Last week it took us a whole day of raiding just to kill one boss each, and on the third day of raiding, we failed [...]

Soul Eater - 7

The Terror of the Black Blood! ~Inside Chrona is a Weapon?~
The seventh episode of Soul Eater finally introduces some of the characters you have seen in the opening theme. In this episode you follow Maka and Soul as the cross paths with these new characters.

Week 5/13 - Recap

Well there seemed to be a lot of things going on this past week. Especially in the Warcraft business. It had been a long week for me, lots and lots of wiping in Sunwell Plateau, and no loot to go along with it.
The lack of sleep I have been getting doesn’t help either. Maybe this [...]

Mage: Spell Haste

A Spell’s Casting Speed is the time it takes for the Spell to take effect. Some Spells are instant cast such as Ice Lance or Cone of Cold, which take effect immediately. Some Spells are channeled Spells like Blizzard, which also takes into effect immediately, and stays in effect during the entire duration as long [...]

AC Clears Serpentshrine Cavern

Aetherial Circle has now defeated Lady Vashj and SSC is now cleared!
Vashj along with Kael’thas is probrably one of the toughest roadblock of Guild progression to overcome. You need the entire raid to be in perfect sync with one another, and be able to communicate to get the job done. Everything must be executed near [...]

Useful Mage Tools

Here are some tools that I have found to be very useful for Mages. With these tools, you will be able to improve your character in many ways. I have also included a short description of each tool, and some information about how to use the tools to improve your character. Give them a try, and [...]

Soul Eater - 6

 
The Rumored New Student! ~Full of Memories, Kid’s First Day at Shibusen?~
Episode 6 of Soul Eater was a good one. An action filled episode, that also had very funny moments. This episode finally brings all three Meister/Weapon teams together for the first time. It is Death the Kid’s first day at Shibusen, and he gives [...]

Doing the Twins in Reverse

No no no. I was talking about the Eredar Twins in the Sunwell Plateau of World of Warcraft. You perverts!
This would be the reason why we have been slacking on the progression on the Eredar Twins. The higher ups had us adjust to a new strategy, which will make it easier (theoretically) for us to kill [...]

Week 5/6 - Recap

I am now back home after my little trip to North Jersey this weekend (I missed you Philly!).
I was without a computer and video games for the entire trip, so that left me with little option to do up at my sister’s place. I ended up watching a ton of television and taking lots of naps.
I [...]

Happy Graduation and Mother’s Day!

Tuna here reporting from my little sister’s iPod touch at Seton Hall. This little bugger is amazing by the way, need to get myself one. Well I will be here until Monday night for my sister’s graduation, so no bloggery from me till then.
So congrats to my sister and all of you out there getting [...]

UI: Decursive

<— If only they had a Mage or Druid in their crew.
Another must-have mod for Mages: Decursive. For raiding Mages, this is an extremely useful tool for encounters where Mages have to remove curses off of the raid members inflicted. The mod will give you a visual display that represents everyone in the raid, and [...]

Switched to Potion Master

<— Everyone’s favorite Potion Master: Serverus Snape!
Although being Transmute Master made me good money back in the day, it is no longer useful to me. The proc rate wasn’t too bad. It would proc about two out of ten days when I would do my daily Transmute. When I didn’t have mats to do Primal Might [...]

Slowly Getting Haste

Like what the title says, I have been slowly getting Spell Haste gear on my Mage. With the latest addition to my arsenal, the [Loop of Forged Power], in my Raiding gear I now have 142 Spell Haste Rating. This will increase my Spell Casting by 9% (rounded up).
This drops my Frostbolt cast down to [...]
