It’s 11:52 a.m., do you know where your children are? Well…if you don’t…they’re probably safe. I mean…it’s 11:52 a.m. people. Stop being so protective. Go play some World of Warcraft. Sheesh.

WoW Frost Mage AoE Grinding Leveling Build

Hey Mages, has it ever occurred to you that there is another option besides just spamming Frostbolt when leveling up? Well, there is. I’ve personally used this to level up and it’s worked out pretty good for me. The only thing is, it’s basically pure grinding. If you’re not into that (which is understandable), then you might want to use a different build. I will tell you one thing though: This build is pretty sickeningly fast if you have the patience and the gall to grind instead of quest. If you want to level up your frost Mage fast, this is a great choice. AoE away Frost Mages! (more…)

The door slides open and you see a very tiny gnome walk through the door. He is covered in a deep black robe trimmed with a blazing red thread. He approaches the bar and pulls himself up to the seat. He motions over to you, and as you draw close he asks for a mead. You stare for a few moments then inform your new short stack guest that his kinda isn’t welcome here, and hope that he would leave without making a scene. (more…)
