Ulduar Patch 3.1 Today

Today is the day.  Patch 3.1 will be upon us once the realms come back up again!

Should Ulduar-10 give Emblems of Valor?

Eliah Hecht has a really good post up today on Wowinsider discussing Blizzard’s decision on how Emblems will work in Ulduar.  To summarize, Ulduar 10-man will drop Emblems of Valor, the exact same Emblems that currently drop from Naxx-25.  Only a few new ilvl213 items will be added to the Emblems of Valor vendor, even though [...]

Holy Talents
The Holy tree is still very straightforward.  There are 51 talent points that directly improve your ability to heal.  Everything else in the [...]

Should 25-man raids give the same gear as 10-man?

Wowinsider has a great post up today arguing that 25-man raids should give the same gear as 10-man raids.  Eliah makes a number of good points about why he thinks this should be the case.  He goes on to argue that even if both raids gave the same gear, 25-man raiding would not die.  He ends [...]
