Orvillius of D/E the Tank somehow got the idea that I was a qualified candidate to speak on tanking issues and asked me to post in the Tanking Circle. I would like the reader to know off the bat that […]

Raiding is srs bzns. While DBM and Bigwigs are good about letting you know raid stuff… sometimes you want those things in your raid frames.
Now, most times, GridStatusRaidDebuff will do the trick. But sometimes you want more info.
I got our resident smiting discipline priest, Laralsong, of Eff the Ineffable, to tell us about smite healing. We all know how I think smite healing sucks, so it was quite embarrassing when Laral wiped the meters with me last […]

I was wondering why my grid wasn’t showing raid debuffs and it’s because… I’m an idiot.

Lately I update grid through the curse downloader without even thinking about it because, well, there’s just been a patch. Tweaks are being made every day, no biggie.
Then I opened up the menus and said “ZOMG since which version […]

Non-Priest Shield Tracking
You need to see shields for the same reason you need to see hots – so you know whether your heal-target is wearing protection or not (har har). After all, why should you throw hots onto a […]

Non-Druid Total Hot Tracking
“But Zel,” you say, “I don’t HAVE hots, or rather, I have 1-2 piddly hots that don’t matter much. I’m not a druid. I don’t have to time my hots, be particularly careful not to […]

Omg, guys, a real live plugin author (Bogenlampe of GridStatusHots) commented on this very blog and even added a feature because Yours Truly is persnickety. And a little bit embarrassed now. It’s also prompted me to be a “helpful pest” […]
