WoW Insider Weekly

Another week has come and gone, and the fact that it's Saturday again means that it's time to run down our weekly features from the past week, all wrapped up in one jumbo-sized post for your perusal. We've got lots of original content, and don't tell anybody I told you this, but our columnists told me they made it all just for you.

Blood Sport: Rock, paper, scissors?
Our brand new PvP columnist lays out who beats who in PvP (and it's up to you whether you agree with him or not).

Totem Talk: The Fury of Drek'thar
If all Shamans were as uber as Drek, we wouldn't have anything to QQ about.

WoW, Casually: A new column for the playtime-challenged
One of the best things about WoW is that there's lots of fun to be had in just a little time. Robin shows you how.

Blood Sport: Perfect balance, the PvP pipe dream
Vims breaks down (with graphs!) whether it's even possible to balance nine classes perfectly.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Leveling up 1-20
A.k.a. getting your new Warrior ready to shoot through the 30s in patch 2.3.

Ask WoW Insider: Is there a class/spec truly viable for both PvP and PvE?
I'm biased, but if you want to heal in PvP and PvE, resto Shamans rock.
