Blessing of Frost

Episode 61 is here and Kurn and Majik tell you all about the major differences between normal and heroic modes in the Dragon Soul. No Hot Fix or MOLL-E segments this week, due to lack of WoW news and lack of MOLL-E submissions (submit your questions, comments and etc to us at podcast [at] blessingoffrost [dot] com!), but you should still stay a while, and listen.

The new Apotheosis recruitment video!

Warlocks are like mushrooms.

Dev Watercooler on stat changes in Mists of Pandaria.

Theck of Sacred Duty talks about the block changes. (It astounds me that we have brilliant people like Theck playing the same game as a random death knight who thinks they can best improve their character by wearing spellpower cloth.)

Mists of Pandaria Talent Calculator.

Remember, Apotheosis is recruiting! Warlocks, an enhancement shaman and a feral druid tank (must be comfortable doing kitty DPS!) especially, but we’ve recently opened up recruitment to all kinds of DPS, so please do check us out!
