Breakfast Topic: Are sexy transmog sets OK in your raid group?
Joystiq Transmogrification is one of those systems that caught me by surprise, considering I had thought it was a concept that would never, ever make it into World of Warcraft. Once I got to see the system in action on the PTR, I was hooked. |

Poll: Which was your favorite classic WoW 40-man raid?
Joystiq by Mathew McCurley Mar 13th 2012 at 3:00PM Classic raiding in vanilla World of Warcraft will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first time in any MMO I had ever played that I actually got to enjoy the full raiding experience. |

iPhone App Video Review: Raid Leader
Appolicious I'm sure every single one of you has played, or know someone who plays World of Warcraft (WoW). Then you also know what happens when you try to get between them and their guild's raiding schedule. If not, well, it's not pretty. |

4 steps for dealing with Raid Finder harassment
Joystiq Remember three things: First, that you're raiding in WoW. Second, you're raiding on the internet, essentially playing a game with the proletariat. Third, WoW raids are loot-based. While people might run the Raid Finder once for the lore aspect, … |

Does WoW need more raid lockout alternatives?
Joystiq The real point is, the paradigm of a weekly reset isn't necessarily the only one and hasn't been even in WoW's own history. Mixing in different resets seems like one way to give people more options in terms of what content to run, which is so far the … |
This was a fun year for me as a healer. Granted, I had to learn how to heal again, but I do enjoy this expansion’s model of healing (although a part of me does miss The Burning Crusade a little when all I had to do was pound Circle of Healing repeatedly). There were many memorable moments that I experienced during raids, and there are others that affected many more of us.
Announcing the monk Undoubtedly the best news for healers this year is this. BlizzCon 2011 unveiled a ton of news and announcements. The biggest one for healers was that there would be a new healing class for players. You guessed it, I guessed it, and I’m pretty sure half the world guessed and hoped for a monk class. These leather-wearing bears are set to help heal in the upcoming challenges that Mists of Pandaria will be throwing our way. While we don’t have a complete look on the full range of abilities that monks can do, we do know that they rely heavily on mobility to get their spells out.

I have a theory that either our various caps for justice and valor points are too low, or the amount we get per activity is too high. I’ll relate my thinking. I have several level 85 characters I’m running through the Dungeon Finder and Raid Finder tools. Clearing both halves of the Raid Finder Dragon Soul gets me 500 valor; I then run four random heroics, and I’m capped. This means that playing my main any further that week is effectively a waste of time. (I usually cap my valors out before I even raid for a week, which makes raiding just about the gear, but I’m OK with that.)
My problem is, I like my main. I’d play him more if there was anything to do. As it is, I tend to cap out on justice points rather than run on one of my alts, and even then, they usually cap on valors as well. (At least two of them do.) I even sometimes cap on honor, and with the new conquest point gains for Random BGs, I could cap on conquest if I really set my mind to it. And while I understand why we have both weekly and total caps on points, it often feels like I’m being penalized for liking the game and wanting to play it.
