Cataclysm Talent Spec Ideas

Joe — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 09:26:34 +0000

So as some of you may know I have been an avid WoW player since the original beta and was lucky enough this time around to get into the Cataclysm Beta. Well wowhead.com just recently put up the new talent trees for the classes and here is my take on what I think would work well.

I think I would spec my priest this way

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#bsh0bZfhrrMRdoGk:z0q0amzM0

This would be the spec for the warlock

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#IZhrMoZIdbfofsRzo:dqkVz0oz0

This would be the Spec for Death Knight in DPS Mode

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#j0hZhIMRfzRdfu0h:kbrMmaMcV

This would be the Spec for Death Knight Tanking

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#jcbGdhbfkGohZbG:qsczR00Mm

This would be the spec for the Mage

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#oMh0bZcfhMkdRRsfo:soMozcmVM

This would be Fury Warrior

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LG0cbZIrbckzkRfd:csazRkmc0

This would be a Prot Warrior spec

http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LRd0bZZcfrdRoRdru:oqko0VVMz

This would be a Rogue Assassination Spec

Despicable Me

Joe — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:17:02 +0000

I enjoyed this movie when I saw it the other night. I like the character of the little girl with the black hair and the stuffed unicorn, but she reminded me so much of Boo from Monster Inc. Like all animated kids movies it followed the idea of someone transforming from a cold hearted person into a caring person and in the case of this movie from a cold hearted villain into a caring father.

The character models were good and the animation was very fluid. I suggest anyone who is reading this to go see it.

Also as from my previous rants about things that displeased me those are going to be removed from the site. There are to many people out their spreading to much hate as it is and I don’t want to become them

Business Owner in training

Joe — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:29:01 +0000

Well today was just another long day at my day job. For I am graphic assistant by day and game developer by night RAWR.
I learn more about business politics each day, stress and anquishsness tend to make people overly serious and closes doors for new ideas. I am far from perfect when it comes to many things and I have my moments of motovational weakness, but I make it my goal to keep an open mind.

For most of you who don’t already know I founded a company called Shadow Keep Studios,LLC, the company specializes in creating games that appeal to many different types of gamers. We also offer other web based services that are not promoted on our site, mind you everything we do is legal.

My main portfolio page should be up and runing again soon, most my traffic that comes to the blog is promoted by google search I thank you all for coming to visit also spam is not appreciated, also I am not selling shoes that’s for you italian visitors.

Should have a new update tomorrow stay tuned

Feb. 4th 2010 Update

Joe — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:37:02 +0000

Hey everyone,

This weekend, I will be attempting to upload some new stuff I have been working on and some new information on a project that I will soon be underway.

New Update…I suppose

Joe — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:44:16 +0000

Well it’s pretty much a month and half into my married life. All is good, I enjoy being married. Well the reason for this update is that over the next couple of weeks or so, I plan on getting all of works in progress finished. What this means is that I am pretty much going to cut my gaming time in half or down to 1/4 of it’s normal time steal.

My next post is going to be an indication of all my artist works that I have in mind for finishing.

I don’t know if anyone actually reads these posts I make but if you do thank you.

Joe
