100 Great WOW Videos (and More) UPDATED

Coldbear's list of great WOW video moments, suitable for browsing the next time WOW's down all day for maintenance (which will almost certainly be next Tuesday).  These seem to be in date order with the most recent at the bottom of the list. Some of the earlier links are dead.

UPDATE:  Coldbear has been working hard and has come up with another list of great WOW items.  Most are videos, but not all.  There's an easy to use gear simulator called AskMrRobot listed, too.  Note that it only works for some classes.

The Shadow Priest Site (SimulationCraft)

Information for shadow priests.  There is a forum for questions and discussion and tabs about the best raid gear and the best hit (PvP?) gear and more.  However, the "best" lists seem to be end game items for Level 80s.

Theorycrafters will be interested in the "scaling" FAQ tab which is based on SimulationCraft.

UPDATE:  WOW Insider describes SimulationCraft (also known as SimCraft) here.

This link to the worksheet is for Mixed Rankings.  There are tabs at the bottom for cat only and bear only.  The location section was not done.

Using SimCraft for Moonkins UPDATED

Graylo of Gray Matter has written a long article about using SimCraft to model DPS and spell rotations in his moonkin.  Note that this system is used for most of the classes in WOW and that Graylo's tips are only good for those using Windows.  He does give links that will help you if you don't fall into those categories.

UPDATE: WOW Insider describes how to use SimCraft (or SimulationCraft) here.

Mr. Robot (Simulator for Death Knights)

WOW Insider has a profile of the web browser simulation program called Mr. Robot here.  Right now it is just for Death Knights but supposedly will be expanded to include other classes eventually.
