Each week, Arcane Brilliance rounds up all of the quest mobs in an area, gathers them all up into a giant, tagged, frozen gaggle, then AoEs them to death while everybody else has to watch and wait for the respawn. Just kidding, Arcane Brilliance doesn’t actually do that at all. Why? Because that would make Arcane Brilliance a selfish jerk. I’m not even making a joke here. I’m saying in thinly veiled code to that Gnome Frost Mage in Gjalerbron yesterday, “you, sir, are a selfish jerk.” Ok, so maybe the code isn’t even thinly veiled. Maybe it isn’t even a code, exactly. All I know is that one of these days, I hope you forget how much mana you have, and run out right when you’ve gathered an extremely large group of quest mobs, and that those quest mobs then surround you and tear you limb from Gnomish limb while you mash your Ice Block button in vain. Jerk.

So, apparently an expansion came out, or something? Seriously, what are you doing here, reading this? I’m going to assume that you’re trapped at work or something. Don’t despair! There’s still time for you to cultivate a nice, wet, contagious-sounding cough, something that can only be cured by a bit of time off, spent nursing yourself back to health in front of your computer, killing zombified murlocs and getting sea-lions to mate with each other. Not that we don’t want you here, of course. We here at WoW Insider appreciate every second you choose to spend here. But holy crap, Wrath of the Lich King is awesome.

Follow me after the break, and we’ll discuss the process of leveling in this strange new continent, list a few leveling builds, and just generally blabber on about how awesome everything is.
