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: Fix You, the author’s favorite Coldplay song. The best part of this performance, the “crowd run,” happens 3 minutes into it. Watch it, if just for that.
Last Week: Last week, we discussed the racials of blood elves, undead, and trolls, oh my! The last two Blood Sport articles look at racial abilities from a perspective of effectiveness in the arena.
This Week: We’ll be discussing racials, for the third (and last) week straight. A lot of arena players would rather play without racials entirely. On ArenaJunkies, there are lots of people who subscribe to a nerf movement every few weeks and add a little signature or avatar in to say “nerf Will of the Forsaken” or “nerf Every Man For Himself.” What if racials got removed? Would WoW be better or worse because of it?
I have an opinion on it that I’m going to share with you — hopefully you’ll agree. So let’s weigh some arguments for removing racials…
Cons (removing racials would be bad):
Identity
The forsaken just wouldn’t be the same without those three translucent exclamation points. Before I played WoW, I saw a video of an orc using Blood Fury, and I was amazed. The animation looks so cool, and you can get it at level one! Every time I see a tauren shaman run to me, I instinctively jump behind a pillar. It’d be hard for me to get it out of my system that he can’t War Stomp anymore.

The Icecrown Citadel raid buff has been out for a week now. For the time being, it’s only a 5% buff to healing, health, and damage (and let’s not forget that it will affect damage absorption spells soon). It’ll continue to slowly ramp up as time goes by. I know the question I’ve asked myself is whether or not we should have the buff active for progression bosses. There doesn’t seem to be an achievement or any incentive to take down bosses without it so it becomes more of a question of “Why not?”. When we were working on Blood Queen the week before the buff was up, we’ve had some extremely close shaves where she hit her enrage timer at 6%, then at 2% before we killed her post enrage with 6 players still standing. That 5% damage would’ve easily given us some extra breathing room. Cutting through trash and taking down the early wings with the buffs up means we can cut through that stuff faster and get to the hard bosses earlier. So I know for me, I’m okay with working on bosses with it up. It’s only 5%. Now I just need to figure out where to draw the line.
How about you? Have you been disabling Strength of Wrynn or Hellscream’s Warsong for your raids just to say that you can do the bosses without it?

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how, but do you know the why? Each week Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
Each flight of dragons is vouchsafed with an aspect of creation itself to supervise. The five Dragon Aspects were granted their powers and dominion over Azeroth’s life, magic, earth, time and more by the Titans who created them from the massive proto-dragon Galakrond in long vanished times past. In the past few KYL’s we’ve covered Alexstrasza’s Red Dragonflight, Deathwing’s Black Dragonflight and its offshoot the Netherwing, and deceased Malygos’ Blue Dragonflight.
This time we look at what might be the strangest dragons of them all. The servants of Ysera, the dragons of the Emerald Dream, the Green Dragonflight. In order to truly understand the green dragons, one would have to be able to understand the dream they all dream, but who can do that? How can one tell the dreamers from the dream?
Easy. The dreamers are great honking green dragons that will kill you. It’s relatively simple. If you doubt their power or their resolve, go to the Temple of Atal’Hakkar and ask the Atali, trapped in a complex smashed into the water by the fury and might of Ysera herself. Even when they themselves fall victim to corruption, the green dragons are fearsome opponents. While Alexstrasza and her brood concern themselves with life and living things, Ysera is effectively the shepherd of what Dylan Thomas called ‘the force that through the green fuse drives the flower‘ - effectively, that which makes life itself possible.
This is also what often gets them in trouble with old gods, blasphemous troll deities of bloodlust, and the loathsome Scourge and its malefic master. (I have been waiting to use ‘malefic’ in a sentence for so long now.)

Welcome to the Lawbringer, your weekly stop at the intersection of law and Warcraft. I am your crossing guard, trying desperately to not get run over myself.
First, I want to apologize for being a day late, but my week was spent preparing for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. Unfortunately, the test was channeling Illidian. If I get a letter in a few weeks saying that I’m not yet responsible enough to be a lawyer, I will not be surprised.
Anyway, on to this week’s promised topic: European Contract Law. We’ll be approaching the same topics we covered on my side of the pond: contract formation, contract termination, and unfairness. These concepts form the basis of players’ relationship with Blizzard, just like they do in the US. Whether Blizzard has the right to publish information about your avatars, ban you from the game, delete your achievements, or force you to resolve disputes in a mediation are all affected by the laws of the country in which a player resides.
The first challenge in this column is that there traditionally has been no “European” contract law; these issues were decided at a national level through the home country’s common or civil law system. Trans-nationalism being all the rage, however, the politicos of the European Union have formed the Commision on European Contract Law which has drafted Principles of European Contract Law. A Common Frame of Reference “toolbox” to help various European legislatures standardize the various laws of contract across the continent to match these Principles. What this means, though, is that this law is in a state of flux — and I am not a barrister, abogada, rechtsanwalt, advokat, or avocat. Take everything in this column with a big grain of salt. And possibly a margarita to wash it down.

New around here? WoW Rookie points WoW’s newest players to the basics of a good start in the World of Warcraft. For links to all our tips, tricks and how-to’s, visit WoW.com’s WoW Rookie Guide.
If you use the Dungeon Finder with any regularity, you’re likely to eventually find yourself grouped with a player who speaks a different language. World of Warcraft is localized (translated) to nearly a dozen different languages, including two versions of English (USA and EU), French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean and two versions of Chinese. While U.S. and Oceanic players can generally count on groupmates to speak English, things can be quite different elsewhere in the world. Individual Latin American and EU realms tend to attract groups of players from particular areas — Brazilians on one server, Hungarians gathered on another, Italians dominating still another.
Many players welcome the language barrier as an opportunity to polish their language skills. Still, how do you coordinate your way through a tricky pull with someone who doesn’t speak a word of your language?
Let’s crowdsource this issue. We’ve compiled a list of common terms you might use in a PUG. We’d like you to list your translations in the comments, if you are fluent in another language. We’re not going to cover Russian, Korean or Chinese, since those players generally do not cross paths with Western players. Please keep your suggestions brief; simplicity trumps elegance. If you’d like to see phrases we didn’t include, feel free to suggest them, but keep in mind we’re sticking with the basics. We’ll compile the list and create a starter guide in next week’s Rookie column.

With all the news regarding the WoW Trading Card Game, avid players have been wondering exactly what’s going on, where the license is going, and who’s going to be producing new cards, if any. While there aren’t any answers to these questions specifically, it’s heartening to note that Blizzard just added a new Trading Card Game section to the official forums, solely for discussion about the TCG. The card game hasn’t been forgotten, and neither have its players.
The question of what the future of the TCG will bring has already been addressed on the forums by Eyonix, who restated Blizzard’s earlier announcement that Blizzard and UDE would be parting ways. He also reassured players that Blizzard is committed to supporting the TCG and will be releasing new content in the near future, although there are still no new details as to who is picking up the license.
While this also doesn’t really answer any questions, it’s good to know that Blizzard is still thinking about the TCG community — and this gives an ideal place for Blizzard to post any updates regarding the game’s production. Hopefully we’ll see more news on the future of the TCG soon.

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky will be your host today.
I’m using that picture of a Sea Mouse in The Queue today for a few reasons. First, it’s disgusting and I can’t wait to see all the comments. Second, this is the stuff Ghostcrawler dealt with before he was in video games. Knowing that makes one understand why he has such a sarcastic take on trolls.
So let’s get into it.
Phil asked…
“Where do babies come from?”

Lately I am supremely enthused about my shaman. Fist weapons! Zapping things! Windfury! Turning that guy into a frog! That guy is totally a frog! Now he’s on fire!
The best thing about the enhancement shaman playstyle I’m working with (designed for five mans and the occasional 10 raid) is working out for myself how to glyph and spec for it. It’s admittedly not the most efficient spec, relying on a lot of 3 second Fire Nova blasts in big trash pulls, but it’s undeniably fun. Basically, with Maelstrom Weapon and FN, I love the trash mobs in VH or Utgarde Pinnacle. (Edited to correct the mistake I always make.) You go ahead and pull another four mobs, mister tank, I’ll just hit Feral Spirit when I pull aggro. Glee! And I love hitting my “This oughta help!” macro and popping Heroism, it makes already fast boss kills go crazy fast. There’s something satisfying in turning Cyanigosa into a smear on the floor before she can do that annoying Arcane Vacuum.
It’s actually gotten to the point where I have to remind myself to switch over to tank for raids. Oh, if only warriors had Bloodlust. Or could tame shamans or something.
So have you rediscovered the love for an aspect of the game?

Three years ago if you had mentioned to anyone you were going to level as a healing spec, they would have scoffed at you and called you ambitious or question your sanity. It was not a very common occurrence and if someone mentioned that was how they leveled, it was often asked how long it took. Two years ago it was slightly more common to see people leveling as a healing spec. With the amount of quests and gear available for each dungeon in Burning Crusade, healers were in hot demand to go forth with a heroic party and clear these zones out. Leveling was still slow going when compared to DPS, but you could do it. When Wrath of the Lich King came out things were a lot easier for healers than in previous content if they decided to level in their healing spec, but it was still slower than if you were a DPS spec. Instances still were healer friendly, but while questing there were several NPC that you just couldn’t kill without being DPS. Now things have changed and it is easier than ever to level as a healer!
