WoW Insider Show, Episode 41: Arenas, healers, and Blink for Hunters

This past week on the WoW Insider Show (a recording of which is now available over on WoW Radio), we were honored to welcome Matt "Matticus" Low to the show to talk about his career in WoW and his experience healing endgame raids. Amanda Dean was also in attendance with some Arena opinions, and Turpster and I rounded out the crew. We talked about:- The fact that Turpster is now 69 on his Shadow Priest, and that next week, after the show, he's going to ding at a live event (stay tuned tomorrow for more details on how that's going down).
- How Blizzard changed the Death Knight descriptions, and whether that matters this early in the game
- Amanda's thought that Arena is broken, and how it might possibly be fixed again (as well as the various class representations in there and what's up with those)
- What we thought was interesting in the latest Blizzcast
And if you've got something you want us to talk about on the show, drop us an email at theshow@wow.com. We'll be back next week with Turpster's big ding event, and another show next Saturday afternoon at 3:30 Eastern.

This show convinced me that Amanda Dead is a total tool.

I agree, I've heard her in other shows. Not for me.
George Jun 10th 2008 5:44PM
Agreed. It's like she barely pays attention to anyone else, suddenly starts talking overly fast and excited.
The best example was the last time she was on when her biggest contribution to the podcast was reciting some gibberish that was some inside joke thing with her friend as Mike was trying to wrap up.
Unimpressive. Also, the whole "hunters just need to L2Play in arena" is so uninformed. Experienced hunters know when to use those things but it doesn't matter against rogue or warrior. The cooldowns of our CC and escape ability (assuming you're BM, otherwise, you have your PVP trinket and that's it) make use nigh useless. I don't care she rolled a hunter and thinks that it's a lack of skill, she still didn't address hunter arena issues (and no, traps aren't enough).

Blink for Hunters ... explain please.
Mike Schramm Jun 13th 2008 11:59AM
We explain in the show, obviously.

Unagieater: don't think Eeleater would be much better, you should've sticked with Unagi like on the IRC channel ;)
Sadly, couldn't make it live this time, but I will next week !
Also Turpster = Mike = Turpster was so random .. though it did sort of add to our Lich King theory (since Arthas = Lich King = Ner'zhul now). First steps in the direction of an evil mastermind symbiosis ..
Unagieater Jun 10th 2008 8:46PM
Lol, no my new name isn't Unagieater, that's my old one, Unagi is just my nickname on IRC.
My chars name is gonna be "Zuldim" because he's a troll and that's trollish for "Great Lols"

I was interested for a second to see the title saying something about blink for hunters. But I have no doubt if it happens Blizz will find a way to make it useless.

Amanda needs to mute this show for her child?!? Oh my gawd...does..not..compute. Can someone please explain or link me to a website which explains this ideology for me because I KNOW I am missing something crucial here.

I've only recently tuned in on these Podcasts and I just subscribed
to it, wich made iTunes download show #41, but I'm wondering how I
can get the other 40 on my iTun (and on my iPod after that), any
suggestions?
when you click subscribe in iTunes it says it will download the
latest and all future podcasts, but not the old ones...
