The 8th season of WoW arena has arrived! For the last two seasons I have posted a spreadsheet containing the arena gear available for the season. Well this season I will be taking on a more daunting task by making a spreadsheet for each class and their different specs (suggested by a friend Thanks Sean)! Each sheet will contain a gear list for the current season and the two previous seasons. I will also be making a separate sheet for Wintergrasp, but it will not be broken up into specs. I will start with, of course the Paladin, and will add links to the different classes and specs as I finish them. If you have a specific one you would like to see, send an email to bigkidsatplay@gmail.com or leave a comment below. Those who leave comments, or email, asking for their class and spec will get them first!
There have been some changes to the normal way that Blizzard puts the arena gear up for sale in season 8. Some of the current season 8 gear is available for just honor and no rating required. The set pieces still require a rating, but bracers, neck, ring, and cloak do not. The previous seasons gear usually still requires some rating to buy, but this season all you need is the honor and arena points. This is a big change allowing players to gear up so that they are are on a more even level as they move into the higher ranks. This should be an interesting season to say the least.
Now to start the list:
Holy Paladin:
PDF
Death Knights (Included One-Hand Weapons For Dual Wield)
PDF
Hunters (Should have just made a sheet will everything but plate. LOL)
PDF
I hope to have a few more by the end of the week, so remember to get your requests in by comment or email soon. Thanks for reading and as always HAVE FUN!

PVP Experiment: Fear the Cat!
It has been a little while since my last PVP Experiment update and there has been quite a bit of progress and my druid is level 28! Instead of including a summary as usual, I have added a feed to the right side of the site. The feed will include the last 5 entries from the new WoW armory feed. If you would like to see more please click on Allyoucaneat's armory link also on the right of the page.
After starting my new paladin a little while ago and reeking some havoc in battlegrounds, I thought it might be fun to change things up. I went to the friendly druid trainer and for another small fee, *POOF* I am feral. It is time to unleash on the PVP world, my cat form dps!
The first game of Warsong Gulch begins, I buff my fellow pvpers and then shift into the form that is now going to be the bane of all who dare cross my path. I rush out of the gate as it falls to release me. Exiting the base I run past the graveyard and with the grace and agility of a cat, I leap to the battlefield below. Heading towards the lower entrance of our base I spot a group of Alliance heading my way. I immediately begin to prowl, waiting for the group to pass and targeting the one who is last in line. Just as the last one passes, turning his back to me, I strike. Claws clash against armor, their tips piercing flesh, as the paladin turns, More annoyed then injured, he swings is mighty two-handed blade and engages me in combat. I rip and tear as he swings with all his might and in the end, lets just say I was not victorious. I continued to queue up as a cat for quite a few more games, but I had forgotten something in my quest for glory. I am horrible at melee dps.
I don't know what it is. It seems I was meant to be a caster. Sure I can level a toon melee in PVE, but don't ask me to rank high on the DPS charts in instances and raids. In BGs even I can get lucky and take down a flag carrier occasionally, but I am never a consistent threat. It is just not what I am good at.
So as far as this experiment goes I will stick with what I know, and thats healing. I will get my fill of DPS from the occasional Moonfire and Wrath spam. It seems to work for me. Thank you for reading and as always HAVE FUN!

New Year's Resolutions
As the new year comes about, there are millions upon millions of people around the world making New Year's resolutions. There are many things one might want to change about their lives. Some want to quit smoking, others lose weight, or give more to charity. I am no different. I want to get more organized, get back on track with my eating choices and save more money, but I have also made another decision that effects my new year in WoW.
I think everyone has their favorite class or classes in WoW. My favorites are the hybrid classes, paladin, druid, shaman to be exact. I have an 80 paladin, an 80 shaman and I am leveling a druid for my PVP Experiment. The advantages to playing these classes is that I can fit into most any group with just a change in talent spec and gear. The disadvantages are that even with dual spec, it can can get expensive if you have to re spec outside of your two main specs and the amount of gear you have to have is always filling up your bank and bags. It is for these reasons that I have made one of my resolutions, to level another Paladin to level cap.
My paladin is my main and if you see me online it is usually on him. He is dual specced holy/retribution right now, but I find myself re speccing to protection when the need for a tank arises. I also like to try out new specs for arena and during the arena season I normally have two healing specs, one for 2s and one for 3s. At 50g a re spec it gets expensive fast. Yes there are dailies and plenty of gold to be had, but it is just annoying to think i am doing dailies just so I can pay my re spec bills. There are plenty of other things I would rather spend it on. I have many alts already so making one more can't hurt and besides maybe I can get some use out of this one. I haven't decided what specs i will choose for the new pally, but I am sure I will cover all of them. Thanks for reading and as always HAVE FUN!

Dungeon Finder For Low Levels
So 3.3 has been out for a few weeks and the good reviews are popping up everywhere. One of the things I have read most about is the Dungeon Finder. I haven't used the Dungeon Finder on any of my 80s, but a couple days ago I decided to check it out on my level 24 priest. Wow!!!! This is one of the best tools that Blizzard has released for leveling alts in a long time.
As a healer, the longest wait I have had is about 5 minutes and I gained 3 levels in about 4 instance runs! I always choose the random option and get the added bonus of a Satchel of Helpful Goods, which contains a nice level appropriate blue item. The blues aren't always class appropriate, but since I can DE it is a free shard each run.
I plan on using the Dungeon Finder on my paladin to get through some heroics and get truimph badges for Furious Gladiator gear. If my low level experience and the good things I hear are any indication, I am sure I will enjoy it as well. Thank you for reading, feel free to comment and as always have fun!

Guild = Drama?
Since I started playing WoW over 2 years ago, I have only been in three guilds.
The first guild was high drama and did the "More Dots" yelling during a raid. With me being new to WoW I was nervous about raiding, add a raid leader that yelled and I was sick to my stomach and never wanted to raid again! So my DH and I decided to take time away from the guild and start working on some Alliance toons on a different server. It wasn't too long after that we heard that the main two guild leaders had cleared out the guild bank and disbanded the guild without telling anyone.
The second guild my DH and I created along with 2 other family members and a friend from the first guild. Everything was great, we had 5 people so we could do raids and we each had a different crafting skill so we didn't have to beg in trade chat for enchants or misc things. We did eventually bring in two or three new people but that was it. Eventually the other family members left and we decided to go back to the Horde. The time in this guild was enjoyable, the drama was minimal, but being such a small guild made it feel like we were required to play every day.
Guild number three is our current guild and I am loving it! The guild leader has become a good friend, and the guildies are fun to play with. The drama is under control, everyone shares and helps out whether it be needing to run raids to get gear or doing some farming for mats. The "no stress" atmosphere has given me the opportunity to take occasional breaks away from WoW to have what I call "ME" time. I don't feel guilty that I am not there, and I know that when I return I will not be kicked but welcomed back with open arms.
Now THAT is a guild!

Lights, Camera, Action!!
What is today? Only one of the greatest anticipated movie release days in I don't know how long, well ok not so long if you count the New Moon release a few weeks ago, all hail Edward!
Anyway, I am talking about Avatar! And it is out today! I am so looking forward to seeing all the special effects that they have given us a small glimpse of in the previews. I wonder how much of Avatar is real and how much is computer generated. You know what, who cares, as long as it is Sci-Fi and blows my mind I am awesomely entertained!
See you at the movies!

Not Enough Time
You know there is really not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. That includes everything I want to do in WoW.
Think about it, you get up in the morning and go to work. Then you come home and have this mile long list of everything you want to do in WoW! Below is a sample of what I try to do:
Lvl 80 Deathknight
1. Do the Ravasaur mount quest daily for 20 days, I’m on #13!
2. Daily cooking quest (for cooking hat)
3. Daily fishing quest (for fishing hat)
4. Make sure you have an oracle egg and get a new one every 7 days when it hatches into an aged yoke instead of a flying mount *sigh.
5. Be available to disenchant or enchant guildies items. (which I love doing btw!)
6. Do daily heroic instance to earn badges.
7. Do as many other heroic instances to earn older badge for gear to hold you up meanwhile.
8. Do daily PVP
9. Do Arenas
Lvl 80 Priest
10. Log onto second lvl 80 toon and do the above quests all over again. Well not the Ravasaur one, I can only deal with one at a time thank you!
11. Work on alchemy flasks, that is if I have any herbs!
12. Transmute gems
13. Work on daily quests to earn enough gold for epic Northrend flying.
Think this is enough to do every day in Wow? Now, add the fact that my DH (dear hubby) and I have just purchased a Wii and Rock Bank for our PS3 yeah! When exactly will I fit all that in between WoW? Don’t have a clue but it’s gotta work somehow! Why you ask? Because my DH and I are nuts, plain and simple! Woot!
