Warlords of Draenor pre-order thoughts

8 Comments
Warlords of Draenor is now up for pre-order (at least digitally). The "free" level 90 character boost as well as the mount and pet are all available immediately.

Duskfang is the only tamable cat to use the "Black Saber Cat" skin and can be found in Swamp of Sorrows. Since it's is a quest mob, it will always be up and available for taming. It's one of my more favorite cats and is usually what I run with if I need … Continue Reading ››

There's a good chance you may have completed the quest and unintentionally trashed the bow if you did any leveling … Continue Reading ››

This week's pet is one of my favorite turtles, Bloodtooth (level 87). He is the only currently tamable turtle to use the "Black Spiked Dragon Turtle" model.

Off Topic: Hunting in Diablo 3

I gave up on Diablo 3 fairly early into its release. The biggest problem for me was always the loot. I never, and I mean never, got a good drop I could actually use on my main character (Demon Hunter). Sure, I looted some stuff that was good for other classes, and managed to sell … Continue Reading ››
