Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the Rogue class. This week, we discuss some of the tips and tricks to remember when raiding Icecrown Citadel’s third wing, the Crimson Halls. Blizzard has been bringing their A-game in Icecrown Citadel, with each new wing’s difficulty greater than the last. The most recently released wing, The Crimson Halls, plays host to a quartet of vampiric elves who will push your raid to the limit. ICC has been gradually becoming less and less PUG friendly, with complex fights, tight DPS checks via innovative berserk timers, and about twenty different ways to die per encounter. Add in the fact that each end-wing boss has a limited number of attempts, and it’s easy to see why raid leaders only want to bring the best of the best to their runs. The two boss battles we find in the Crimson Halls are night and day when it comes to how a rogue should approach them. The first, an unconventional ‘council fight’, will have your thief senses tingling as

The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Relentless, Furious, Deadly, Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters on the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Frostwyrms. We’re especially focused on the people who play these games, to further shed light on the world of the PvP player. If you’d like to be interviewed for The Colosseum, please feel free to contact us — be sure to include your armory as a link! Gladiator Bearzerk of US-Mannoroth won’t be wearing his gladiator title much longer — he’ll be upgrading to Relentless Gladiator! Our rogue interviewee today is team captain of a rogue-mage-priest composition named A B C that was able to go on a victory streak and get the coveted title on the last day of the season. Read on after the break to see what Bearzerk had to say! WoW.com: Who are your teammates? Bearzerk: My teammates in season seven were Nobodyseven (mage) and Lfv (priest). WoW.com:

Want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women? Blood Sport investigates the entirety of all-things arena for gladiators and challengers alike. C. Christian Moore, multiple rank 1 gladiator, examines the latest arena strategy, trends, compositions and more in WoW.com’s arena column. Listening Music: Roger Waters and the classic combination of Pink Floyd’s “The Happiest Days of Our Lives + Another Brick In The Wall, part II.” I hate when the radio only plays half of this piece. Even though Floyd split the piece into two on the album, I find it hard pressed to do the latter half justice by dropping the epic “intro.” The helicopters and interlude scream is the best part, be honest with yourselves. Last Week: We addressed the issue of protection warriors in arena. We talked a bit about a few of Ghostcrawler’s posts dealing with the most annoying specialization to face. After that, we discussed some of the problems with both perception and design. This Week: Before getting back to the beginner’s guide to

I am having way too much fun with the new armory features. My favorite part? Getting to set the pose my character takes when players start looking me up. There are so many to choose from. There are the dance poses, the wave, the bow, the salute and so forth. I figure the top left one demonstrates my athletic ability. We dwarves are known for our jumping prowess after all! I suppose I could just moon the viewer with the top right one. That wouldn’t be appropriate though, would it? Ah ha! What about the thoughtful dwarf in the bottom left? He’s stroking his beard while thinking about a potentially life changing decision such as chocolate chip or oatmeal. I suppose the classic option would be to go for the traditional wave in the bottom right. Yeah, I suppose that will do. What about you? What are you setting your armory pose as?

Sabaska created his first machinima video using the song Octopus by Jonathan Coulton. JoCo’s music has been a fairly consistent presence for machinima, so Sabaska made a wise choice in accessing this song for his first WoW video. The video works fairly well for the song, so I think overall, it’s a good job. What’s really interesting about this video, however, is the annotations. The video’s good, but Sabaska went above-and-beyond with his YouTube annotations. Using this feature, Sabaska outlined many notes, topics, and techniques he used in creating Octopus. This is especially helpful because it gives the audience a better look at the effort and work performed by machinima makers, and gives us a look behind the curtain. For many people just getting started with machinima, I’d wager it also gives them a little inspiration and useful tips. Octopus wasn’t meant to be a tutorial, of course, but it’s still awesome that Sabaska shared this level of information with us. Octopus is a fun video, and it’s one for which Sabaska should be proud. I’m eager to
