How to Make Sense of World of Logs

Ah, finally. Technical difficulties aside, my guide to using World of Logs is finally finished, in some sense. As usual, I'm rather long winded so the videos are not short, but they encompass a good chunk of the site's basic features and should leave you comfortable enough to browse log reports on your own. Also, I'm absolutely horrible with video stuff, so don't expect anything fantastic. These are more about the information than the terrible editing job, so please forgive me there.



Next 2 vids are after the break.

Holy Paladining in Cata - A Beginner's Guide

A new expansion is here, and it's time to re-learn our class. Things are a little different than at 80, but overall, we're in a solid place right now. This guide will follow the same format as my previous guides, covering spec, gems, glyphs, and playstyle.

Holy Paladin - A Beginner's Guide

So I know there's a large amount of holy paladin guides out there, but someone asked me a question in trade today that got me wanting to write this. How do you play a Holy Paladin? I couldn't really give a quick and simple answer, so i wanted to make a post to cover the basics, so when I get asked this, I have a reference to link to. It's the end of an expansion, and I know a large amount of this information is changing soon, but it's also the ideal time to begin playing with your alts and offsets, so here goes.

How to set up Vuhdo

 DISCLAIMER: This, being my most visited page by far, is something I care about keeping current. If you have a question that is not addressed by my guide, ask me! I'll get back to you quickly. A comment on youtube, an e-mail, or a comment here are simple ways. Also, things in Vuhdo change often. If you notice something in my videos has changed to the point where it's completely irrelevant, let me know and I'll update this.

When it comes to healing addons and raid frame packages, Vuhdo takes the cake for the best available. While some people would argue that Grid is better, it just doesn't have the same amount of sheer customization that Vuhdo offers. Vuhdo also offers built in click bindings, like those that you would find in healbot. This eliminates the need for a companion mod such as clique, but if you want to use it anyways, Vuhdo still offers support for that as well. This kind of flexibility and the fact that you only need Vuhdo itself and not any extra little plug ins are why it has been at the forefront of my interface since shortly after it's release. However, it can be kind of complex to set up, and I often get asked question from other healers about it's configuration, so I wanted to make this post, and the following videos, to help alleviate some of the stress of dealing with a new addon.

My Vuhdo set up, one of many options

Getting By With The Stock UI

I love addons. I absolutely love them. UI customization is one of the biggest factors in keeping me stuck to WoW over all the other shiny MMOs that pop up. Something about being able to change anything that ever slightly annoys me is just satisfying. Don't like where the map is? No problem. Unhappy with how buffs are displayed? It can be fixed. Bejeweled addict? There's an add-on for that too.

I've been spending much of my time lately in beta, and in order to test things, addons are disabled. How can a healer survive in a world with naught but the stock ui? I know, I'm being over dramatic. There's a handful of individuals that prefer the stock ui, but for the majority of us, it simply isn't an option. But, when left with no other choice, there are a few things we can do to get by.
