Warlock Farming in Dire Maul

"Farming" is the term given to the act of gaining items or loots through strategic or repetitive actions. Say, sticking around a certain area killing enemy mob after mob, reaping in the coin and loot they drop over and over. Or, in this case, being a Warlock and heading to an instance named Dire Maul to farm a highly sought after item, the Libram of Focus. It takes a bit of strategy and alot of patience, but the item you gain in the efforts is well worth it and worth a bit of coin at the in-game Auction House.



Warlock's aren't the only class to be able to do this either, we may have videos up of hunters and mage's doing this as well with their own methods.

The Plague In Orgrimmar

Back in Sept. 2005, a plague hit the major cities in the form of a damaging spell named "Corrupted Blood" that came from a high level instance. How it worked is like this - The spell used to cause 200 damage every 2 seconds and pass itself to anyone else nearby on your side. One person would become infected with the damaging spell and then Hearth (or "warp") back to a main city and infect everyone around them, who in turn infected everyone around them, and so on and so forth until the entire city was infected. Fun times while it lasted and caused for some interested effects, but this spell was eventually toned down to only afflict the person infected and not nearby friends.



More info can be found here at Wikipedia concerning this plague.

World of Paladincraft III

One of the highlights of this clip is the Paladin going into Orgrimmar with 12 healers. Orgrimmar is a main city of the Horde and a Paladin is one of the strongest classes overall that the Alliance has. There is much more to this video clocking in at over 15 minutes showing just how much Paladin's kick ass.

Kazzak Invades Stormwind

Kazzak, a major Demon, has decided to invade the Alliance city of Stormwind. Most likely pulled there by a player, he doles out death like a Las Vegas blackjack dealer. With his awesome strength and insane spells, he lays waste to near everything in his path.

World of Warcraft Trailer

This trailer was shown on the Warcraft 3 CD and while it shows no actual in-game footage, still contains some kickass CGI.

Apple Ad Switch Spoof

Paladin's get no love! This is a take on the Apple "Switch" advertisements where a frustrated Paladin makes the change and becomes a Shaman, where he is given more attention and can do more. It's rather true, Paladin's seem to have only a few moves while Shaman's can do a whole assortment of things and lay down totems that affect his nearby group. The favorite move of a Paladin is the Shield+Hearthstone move which teleports them back home and out of danger. It's either that or a Shield+Runaway I've seen most. :D Poor, Paladins. Just make the switch already.

Coke/World of Warcraft Advert

This overseas Coke advertisement has a World of Warcraft tie-in with some nice effects. Ok the chicks in the outfits don't look too shabby either. An interesting mix of advertising for two hugely popular products.
