258 days and counting...
Installing the Altoholic addon gave me some unexpected findings. Stuff that i am not sure if i wanted to know. *gulp*
- Damn, i have played WoW for 258 days in total. Thats freaking 6192 hours (!). Lets cry/celebrate!
- Holy Smoke, my most played character by far is a rogue! 66 days. Compared to my current main character with only 29 days.
- Second most play character is my priest. Came as an...

Threat: Less is more?
I have been thinking about how focused tanks are on generating more and more threat. We can read awesome threat analyses on each talent/gear choice from theorycrafting guys/girls on EJ and sites like Pwnwear (good job btw!). And its awesome to a certain point, but when is enough?
I mean, during our raids at least, tanks get Tricks of the Trade from our ass kicking rogues pretty much all the...

A message from the undercutter
Did not expect this. Instead of the ordinary auction house PvP i got a friendly message from one of my undercutters. He pretty much gave me a window of opportunity to sell some glyphs and control the market for a short while. Thanks Audumla <3

Ambassador Hensley
“9: Get exalted with all cities for the Crusader and Ambassador-titles.” CHECK!
Finally exalted with all cities. It took a while. My initial plan to just buy loads of runecloth and turn them in for reputation went down the drain when i realized that on our low population server, there is no runecloth on AH. And if there is some occasionally stacks on AH the price is insane (like...

Impressive
Was browsing the new armory and stumbled upon a DK in Premonition, aka the best ranked guild in the world (of warcraft). Holy smoke, Advent is an overachiever by grande scale. 9600+ achivementpoints is pretty darn impressive (and inspiring). Especially for DK that entered the game late and had to play catch up throw the expansions. *clap* *clap*

Best Friends Forever
“We heard you like pugs. So here’s a pug for your pug, so you can pug while you pug, Or something. Hugs, Your friends on the WoW Dev Team”.
Best. In-game. Mail. Ever. From. Blizzard!
And i finally got a sweet little dog in-game! Perky is mine. We will throw bones and play catch in green fields on Mulgore everyday.

Enter the Cult (of Razer)
Since i accidentally poured IKEA’s pear cider into my old WoW-mouse last raid, the left button stopped working due to all sugar and alcohol. Tried to save it with some mouth-to-mouth emergency first aid and cleaned all parts carefully, but it’s gone. R.I.P (Rest in Pieces) old WoW-mouse. I will honor your memory!
Not.
The grief was short. I drove to MediaMarkt during lunch time and...

Diplomacy!
Yatta! Say hello to Hensley the Diplomat. A fancy title for a fancy death knight!
I completed my first goal of the year much faster then i expected. Sporeggar and Mag’har was easy, but grinding rep with Timbermaw Hold was slow. Mainly because i did not read a guide before i started. If i had read up on the repgrind i would have known better and saved all quests until revered. Since after...

Field test: Anti-magic/AoE Unholy
Right before the raid invite i got the last Emblems of Frost and bought my tier 10 gloves. This gave me the 2-setbonus and the opportunity to try out my Anti-Magic/AoE Unholy spec in a live raid environment.
On a side note: i am not a big fan of theorycrafting, all numbers, spreadsheets and simulations gives me headache. I rather go out and try things until they make or brake.
The setup: ...

Happy hour of the week!
Today was a good day. My fellow co-tank Blyerts came over with his daughter to hang out with me and my son. After eating some extraordinary mouth melting vegetarian Korv Stroganoff with rice for lunch, the kids finally crashed and took a nap in my bedroom. Yatta! This meant that the dads could drink some coffee and discuss tanking uninterrupted for at least one hour. Happy hour of the week!
We...

Declaration of war
Beware, a new era of terror, plague and death has just begun in the Emberstorm battlegroup.
Hensley lost his mind and bought PvP-gear for all (200+) Emblem of Triumph and have entered the PvP-scene with no clue how to play and what to expect.
I never cared about PvP at all and got minimal experience from both battleground and arenas. I tried some 3v3 arenas in the first season with my rogue...
