He Said , She Said is a new feature at WoW Insider, which looks at the game from masculine and feminine points of view. This week we discuss the difference between bearing among male and female characters.
David: What's the big idea with all the macho attitude in male characters? I wrote an article about this problem some time ago, and I'd like to see what you think about it. Many people don't even realize it's an issue though; they just assume: "This game is about killing things, therefore, as a male, I should look as violent and intimidating as possible." For those people that think this this way, that's fine; those people should have that option. But let's look at all the male avatars that are available to us in WoW and find out how many options there are for those of us who don't want to look like a football player on steroids wow gold. The answer is... one! Other than Gnomes, every single male avatar in the game is pumped full of that "I'm gonna kill you if you get in my way" attitude that I just don't want to play.
Where's the old wizard who spends all his time reading books rather than pumping iron? Where's the skinny rogue who kills things by knowing when and where to put his dagger rather than slashing it around cheap wow gold with arms the size of some tree trunks? Where's the option for a male to actually look wise and eloquent instead of brutish and arrogant?

The post-game analysis
Our team got rocked last night. Coming out the gate, we faced a full S3 team that rushed us over the tomb in the Ruins of Lordaeron. Quickly scanning targets, our DPS called for focus fire on the Shadow Priest. It wasn't until about five seconds in that I saw our Warrior dropping down to 50%, then 30% wow gold, and I had lost him in my Line-of-Sight. By the time he had sprinted out of the starting room, the opposing team had swapped targets to our Feral Druid and dropped him in under ten seconds. We'd been had.
Running triple melee, we were confined to too much of an offensive mindset to notice the fact that we were up against a 4-DPS team who went directly for the Warrior instagib. The only person who saw this early enough was our Warrior cheap wow gold, who retreated back into our room to slow down the opposing team's offense. By the time we'd picked up on what was happening, our Druid was dead and our Warrior was running around the coffin with a sword and board Spell Reflecting and trying to stay alive. By then it was too late and in less than two minutes we were handed our first and only loss for the night.

Spiritual Guidance: 3 Priest specs your raid should not leave Shattrath without
Every Sunday, Spiritual Guidance will offer practical insight for priests of the holy profession. Your host is Matt Low, the overlord of World of Matticus, and this week he takes a look at 3 different raid specs for the new priest to consider wow gold.
A priest by nature is a class that serves to heal. Unless you walk the path of shadow, then you play a class devoted to healing your raid. Far be it from me to tell me how you should spec or what you should spec cheap wow gold. I believe that everyone is free to invest their points down whatever talent tree they see fit. On the other side of the coin, I have been called upon to counsel my raid leaders. In a raid group where 24 of 25 spots have been filled and the last vacancy is reserved for a healer, raid leaders often make the tough call of deciding who gets benched and who gets on the starting roster.
I'm going to go out on a limb and do something no blogger should ever do.
I'm going to make an assumption.
I'm going to assume that you want to raid and experience end game.
If your guild is a highly competitive one where healers are abundant and plentiful, then you need to make yourself stand out from the rest buy wow gold. When your raid leader is in the hard position of deciding who stays and who goes, there is only one question that they ask themselves.

Why the PvP game exists in WoW, and why it's a good thing
Last night I posted why I feel that the PvE game has been, is, and always will be the real game in WoW. One of the interesting inferences that people made was that I don't like PvP, and that I don't do it. Nothing is further from the truth. It was interesting to read the number of comments on that article, and I think it might surprise some folks that save for this introduction paragraph and a few edits I made, this article was written before I wrote my PvE piece.
So, why do I PvP? What attracts me to the PvP game, and why is it a worthwhile thing to do in WoW? There are three primary reasons that PvP is a game worth playing. First, it provides a critical and necessary change of pace from the PvE game wow gold. Secondly, it gives those with limited play time an opportunity to enjoy the game and succeed at what they do. Finally, PvP is beginning to turn into a legitimate eSport, and provides some good entertainment there in. Let's look at each of these reasons individually.

Around Azeroth: Thunderbluff pole dancing
It's not quite May Day, but these feral tanks didn't need an excuse to celebrate with a little pole dancing. It started with a single shapeshifted Druid dancing around a totem in Thunderbluff. A second joined him and soon it became a spontaneous gathering of ursine gyrations wow gold. Heh, count yourself lucky. It could have been ogres.
