Blessing of Frost

Welcome to a (very belated) Episode 67 of Blessing of Frost! (It’s all Kurn’s fault the episode is late. It was recorded on Saturday, July 21st. Whoops.)

In this episode, Maj and Kurn talk about old attunements and how a lot of people seem to be talking about attunements in the blogosphere of late.

Here are the massive attunement posts from MMO Melting Pot!

And here’s Kurn’s 4000-word post. (Not for the faint of heart.)

Welcome to Episode 66 of Blessing of Frost! In this episode, Majik and Kurn chat with Fugara, the Co-GM of Choice of Skywall about the recent decision to refocus the guild towards a 10-man raiding team from a 25-man team. We look at some of the reasons and some of the options the officers had available and why and how they chose to refocus on 10s. Essentially, it’s a case study on yet another guild that has run into problems this expansion, but these guilds are not the exceptions — it’s very common for 25-mans to experience the problems Choice did.

Stay tuned, Apotheosis of Eldre’Thalas is going to be opening up Mists of Pandaria recruitment soon, but you should visit our website now anyhow. 🙂

Welcome to Episode 63, wherein Kurn and Majik discuss Diablo as a possible WoW killer. It certainly would explain why Stormwind and Orgrimmar are so empty!

Episode 61 is here and Kurn and Majik tell you all about the major differences between normal and heroic modes in the Dragon Soul. No Hot Fix or MOLL-E segments this week, due to lack of WoW news and lack of MOLL-E submissions (submit your questions, comments and etc to us at podcast [at] blessingoffrost [dot] com!), but you should still stay a while, and listen. 😉

In this episode, Kurn and Majik chat about the notion of “set bonuses” and talk about some of the peculiarities of the whole idea of collecting enough of your set pieces to hit your 2/4 piece bonuses. We also look back at some really old set bonuses and mock them. 😉
