See, this is the reason WoWhead has surpassed others like Thottbot and Alla in usefulness to me. I still do most of my searches over at WoWwiki, but when I need item information or quest information, it’s WoWhead all the way.

Now the fine folks at WoWhead have released something I’ve been dying for for a long time now, an easy way to compare two items that isn’t somewhat busted like Blizzard’s own “Find an Upgrade” feature on the Armory is. WoWhead’s Item Comparison Tool allows you to distinctly compare two items, multiple items, or even item sets against one another to see which is superior in the areas that matter to you.

See above? That’s where I’m comparing the Season 2 hunter PVP set against the Tier 4 hunter PvE set to see the differences. The tool couldn’t be easier to use - simply click to add an item and type in the name of the item or the item set to add it to the tool and get instant results. Never again will you have to go wondering if a specific item is an upgrade or not…unless that is, unless you’re in-game and have to make a snap decision once it’s dropped. Roll on it and decide later, I say! It’d be cool though if a tool like this came in the form of an add-on (are you listening, add-on developers?)!

Thanks much to one of my favorite WoW bloggers, Big Red Kitty for breaking the story!

It’s been a week since I gave up on WASD and switched to mouse move and I’ll never go back.

With an assortment of addons and macros to help me I’ve keybound 95% of my attacks to my N52 with great success. I still get a little lost running in circles and I have a tendency to end up with my view directly over my character but overall I am better, stronger and faster than I was before. Another week or so and I’ll be ready to go back in an instance and tank.

Next I need to consolidate my skills/attacks into combo macro’s and decrease the amount of buttons I need to manipulate. I’m a DAB user and not quite ready for Flexbar scripts. Anyone got any great combo macro’s for a mouse movin warrior?

Yeah, it’s a pain in the ass - take off all your armor to avoid durability loss, run as fast as you can towards the portal, die, res, repeat. Sooner or later you’ll get to Haleh and you’ll have your Drakefire Amulet. Without a full group of 60’s, no other way, right?

Wrong. Despite Blizzard’s attempts to prevent an easier route (such as removing a mob you could autofollow through a tough part of mountain), there’s still a way to Haleh without the use of a portal - no nekkidness required. A simple step by step guide with screenshots shows you how.

DIng!!! Level 60. w00t
Now what?!?

Luckily BBSpot’s Top Eleven has me covered.

Here’s a little Firefox Plugin that will add a Thottbot option to your Firefox search bar. I know a few people who use Thottbot more than Google at this point so I’m thinking this is going to be damn handy.
