Stepping Out of SWTOR...........

Evlyxx the Jedi Sage

....for now at least, I have decided to not renew my subscription to SWTOR. There are 2 reasons that basically all end up being money.

Goals for 2012

2 weeks into 2012 and it is high time I set myself some goals for coming year. I already have at least 1 character of each class at max level, each profession maxed out and gear levels are high enough on all characters on my home server to enter the raid finder so the goals for the coming year are going to be no push overs.

Priestly Power Auras Revisited

A bit of a cheat this post as I'm simply reproducing one of my static pages I have just updated, but I think this topic actually deserves special attention.

Power Auras Classic is one of my favourite add ons as it replaces many addons that I used in the past as it allows me to create visual and ausio alerts that I design and position for procs like "clear casting", trinket procs, buffs/debuffs, cooldowns and even equipped items (I have been known to go into battle with my Chef's Hat equipped! 

Holiday Boss

Its been a hard few weeks in the world of raiding, seeing posts from fellow priests like Derevka and Malevica posting guides on healing heroic Dragon Soul bosses fills me with a little bit of envy as my guild are currently struggling with the holiday boss and a few interlopers who have deserted WoW for a month until their free SW:TOR month ends, keeping us at 4/8 on normal modes. But that is the price I am willing to pay for being in a small social guild with friends and having fun rather than having WoW feeling like work.

That said if you're needing a new home for 2012 and can tank, heal or DPS a bit, can raid 2 to 3 times a week (10 man raids) and are willing to join me on Shadowsong EU visit the Saturday Knight Fever website and post an application.

WoW vs SWTOR: Getting Started

As many of you may have noticed there is a new MMO on the block and like a few of you I have decided to try out Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Now my playtime in SWTOR has been short and I've only got up to level 11 and I haven't yet got my advanced class and am missing a lot of skills/abilities but I thought I'd share my experience with you and compare it to the WoW experience to see how both games could be enhanced by a transfer of ideas.
