    Another day, another round of PTR crashing. While waiting to get into Ulduar, check out these entertaining and informative WoW-related links from around the blogosphere. Pike from Aspect of the Hare made a visual quilt of the pets on her various Hunters (pic above.) Head to her site for their names and levels. Banana Shoulders has put up her guide to Paladin Seals and when to Judge them. She breaks it down by damaging, buffing and debuffing Judgements and adds recommendations to which Paladin uses what in raids. There has been a sudden explosion in the population of the pygmy suckerfish Alchemists use for MP5 flasks. What's a fisherman to do with all the extra? WoWGrrl has a few suggestions, some of them quite entertaining. Markco at Just My Two Copper has a reader submitted mining route for Icecrown. Euripedes at CritalQQ posted a fine guide to leveling a Mage using a Frost spec back in Novemeber that I just discovered this morning. I may use this to kickstart my stalled level 30 Mage. CriticalQQ also has an interesting analysis of jump mechanics and AE effects in raid encounters. Based on the Best. Bug. Ever. post we made a few weeks ago, he talks about jump mechanics and how the game engine doesn't register your position until you land. Important concepts for those trying to dodge black holes and other AEs in boss encounters.
