    Every week, WoW Insider brings you Spiritual Guidance for discipline, holy and shadow priests. On Wednesdays, shadow priesting expert Fox Van Allen rains sheer purple destruction down on the growing list of WoW Insider columnists who oppose him (and sometimes, even on those who don't). I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gearing in Cataclysm is boring. It's not that there aren't best-in-slot pieces -- there absolutely are -- it's just that reforging makes getting those best-in-slot pieces a lot less important. After all, if you need more haste or more hit, you can always reforge other stats until you have as much as you want. Simple. There's one slot that's absolutely compelling, though, and that's the trinket slot. Trinket bonuses are so specific that it's often impossible to tell what's an upgrade and what isn't without a calculator or spreadsheet. And while those new i378 boots are almost guaranteed to be better than that i359 pair you currently have equipped, the same can't be said for the new trinkets. So, which of the new patch 4.2 trinkets make the cut ... if any? Is the Darkmoon Card: Volcano still king? And further, what the heck are our new stat weightings in patch 4.2 going to be so we can figure these answers out?

    We've seen a lot of glitches, bugs, and bloopers on One Shots this week, but today's is a little different. Shado's DC Universe Online screenshot proves that some of the best bloopers aren't always an accident of game design: Sometimes our online worlds are a lot like our real-life worlds. If you get a day or week when it just feels like everyone is out to get you online and offline... take my advice and watch your back. We've got a few more days left in bug week, so keep those screenshots coming! Next week's theme is endgame, for the ambitious among you -- send in your best screenshot of endgame gameplay to oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and then give you the thanks! %Gallery-112285%
