Shockadin Falling: Episode Two

The tale of the shockadin ends before it could hardly begin. Blizzard has nerfed Holy Shock damage at lower levels by a tremendous amount. R.I.P. Corrinne the Abuser. I’ll miss you. (Now nerf those goddamn discipline priests!)

Shockadin Rising: Episode One

I started another paladin. Her name is Corrinne. She is named in honor of another Corrinne, who was lost to a soul transfer gone horribly, horribly wrong. This new paladin is designed for one thing. Terror. To instill terror in her enemies. When enemies see Corrinne coming toward them, they turn around and run. Because […]

[Leveling] Prot Paladin from 85 to LFR

Though you’re done leveling by the time you start gearing up for LFR, I consider the quest for higher ilvl gear part of the leveling process. This guide is about how you can hit level 85 and kill Deathwing in the LFR difficulty, all in the same day. With only gear from Uldum and Twilight […]

[Leveling] Heirlooms for a Prot Paladin

Blizzard has made it incredibly easy to power through the leveling process since they’ve admitted that for most of the playerbase, the real game starts at max level, and leveling […]

Greenlee’s Notebooks

The first post. Always the hardest, and the lamest, because I have to get the introductions out of the way. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since February 2010. The game had already been out for almost six years by the time my then-girlfriend got me hooked. Those who played during vanilla and BC call […]
