Ah, that new website smell is still fresh! We here at Rawrcast want to officially welcome you to our all-new site! A lot of people have been spending a lot of time trying to make this site a reality, and I think you can tell from the design to the simple details of the site, that this is a total step-up from what we were rolling with before. I’m going to give you a quick run-down of the new site and what you can expect to see from us in the coming months as we continue to roll out new and entertaining content all about World of Warcraft.

While listening the weekly pod cast of But Wait, There’s Lore, I heard Pride & Omacron talk a little about Thrall as the new Guardian of Tirisfal. They still, even after the expansion announcement, are convinced the reports of Thrall becoming the new guardian are a bit out of place. They go onto talk about Thrall and how his involvement in the Earthen Ring is a much more likely avenue for Cataclysm to explore.
Ajahs
Like the Aes Sedai in Robert Jordan’s the Wheel of Time, the Earthen Ring could be broken into sub-groups like the similar to the Ajahs.***Note: I only notice similarities, but they are pretty striking given what we know about each race.***
Each Ajah has a single purpose, and they could easily be tied to the races.

This week Stomp and Haf visit all things Beer related, in-game and out. In preparation for this month’s Brewfest World Event, Stomp gives a preview of the achievements, eludes to possible changes from last year, and revisits memories of years past.
Additionally, the live chat room was floored at Stomp’s news of the week, and had loads of questions relating to beer that drew personal reflection from the happy couple.
Episode 36 of Rawrcast is available for your listening pleasure via iTunes, RSS feed, direct download, or you can stream it from our main page. Read more…
When a ret paladin sees some gear with armor penetration, most just think meh. It’s not the greatest stat for a ret pally, and it’s not the greatest stat for some other classes. As Prentice pointed out on an MMO Champion thread, “Regardless of how well ArP scales, the simple fact is that ArP only affects 35-40% of your total damage. Ret paladins already have the best armor penetration in the game in shape of Holy damage. 60-65% of our damage is holy and as such completely negates all armor the target has.”
By Ghostcrawler’s own admission, ArP wasn’t really that popular when Lich launched, and Blizzard realized the player base wasn’t willing to stomach a stat that wasn’t really all that sexy. So they buffed it. 3.1 brought about a 25% buff to ArP. Let’s liken this to you feeding your kids broccoli, but they refuse to eat it. You, in all of your parental wisdom, think maybe if you soak that broccoli in sweet chocolately goodness, then they will scarf down the veggies. When supervised, this isn’t that horrible of a compromise, but the danger comes when you walk away from the table and leave the syrup within reach. Read more…
In a recent post I made reference to running the battlegrounds (bg’s) as a lowbie and some of the benefits. I thought today it would be best if I delved further into this subject and really addressed the bg’s issue in this post and for those of you that read my posts for levels 35-70, I will also be addressing the bg’s for those levels this weekend.
At the 1-35 levels there are only 2 bg’s that you can get into: Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch. The first bg that low level characters can jump into is Warsong Gulch. You can make access starting at level 10 and continue to battle through the rest of the game. This will most likely be your first experience in WOW battlegrounds.
