The holidays have left me with little time, so I’m adding a new feature here at Tales: The Humor Hut. It just offers some random silliness on the occasional weekend, while leaving our week day posts for more practical things such as guides, strategies and theory discussions.
For the first installment, many of our readers seem to enjoy the rants of one of our guild officers, Ranedor, and his limited tolerance for stupidity as demonstrated by his responses to some of our more intellectually challenged applicants in our “Land of Denied …

My older post from December 2008 on Power Auras is one of my highest hitting posts on this blog. I get regular emails about this post as well as questions on how to do certain things in Power Auras.
So, I decided to do another Video Post on this fantastic add on. The video below will show you how to set up Power Auras to display a notification when you do not have Inner Fire up and you are in combat. I also go over a Surge of Light Power Aura, …

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and to the Non-US readers well… you’ll just have to wait until tomorrow for the normally scheduled Thursday post. Cheers!

You know, I never thought I would hear myself say this, but: I actually miss trash packs in Raids. Blasphemy! Heresy! Lunacy! I know… They are called ‘trash’ for a reason, right? They are just an annoying roadblock in the way of the epics, right? Perhaps… but I do think there is a good bit more to trash than just being timesink.
My guild has an IRC channel that many of us camp in during the work day, and a conversation that came up recently was about the nostalgia of trash …

Well, Tuesday night we did it. A week too late for server first, but done none the less. Had we swallowed our pride and added some healers, perhaps we would have gotten this 4 weeks ago, but, lesson learned.
All signs were pointing to “No way in Hell is this happening tonight” when we started. Our Death Knight tank died THREE times on the NRB Jomunger Worms. His health dropped like a rock. We rez him and BAM – down again. WTF, rez him again! He grabs the worm and BAM …

Since Ava did here Healing MEME survey last week, I figured I would do mine today as a clean and fun way to kick of the reopening of the blog.
What is the name, class, and spec of your primary healer?Derevka, Priest, Holy Primarily, Disc Secondary
What is your primary group healing environment?25 Man Hard Mode
What is your favorite healing spell for your class and why?Prayer of Mending – mainly because its exceptionally unique, no other class has anything like it. And with the set bonus from T9 seeing 10-12k crits “bounce” …

When you’re a progression raider, being beat to a kill can smart, especially when you realize you may have become sloppy for the simple reason of underestimating your closest competition.
Our guild killed Heroic Anub(25) well over a month ago, with a Tribute to skill. We followed up with a Tribute to Madness a week later and then week after week of 49/50 clears. Last week another guild on the server finally got down Anub and this week, nabbed the 50/50 Insanity title. Disappointing? Oh yes. It stings when you rack …

The Triumphant Return of “Tales of Priest v2.0 – Beauty & the Bitch”
I met Derevka many moons ago, as we play on the same server. Several of his old guildmates had joined our ranks, I dropped hints for an eternity that if he ever decided to change guilds, look me up. He had always been a valuable source to bounce ideas off, and we have had some great discussions. When he told me he was ready to take a more serious approach to raiding & wanted to join Dark Nemesis, …
