A terrible saviour… and a worse fate.
A certain aspect of Legion has been problematic for certain players this expansion… Continue reading →

Finally! I’m a Mythic Raider!
So THH have conquered Heroic Nighthold, and have it on farm (we’re able to clear it in about 90 minutes or so), so over the past 3 weeks we’ve been pressing forwards into Mythic Nighthold.
The differences between bosses on Mythic and Heroic isn’t HUGE, not at least for the first three bosses:
- Skorpyron: Different coloured shards with differing effects to hide behind for shockwave.
- Chronomatic Anomaly: An extra add in the add phase, on the opposite side from the other.
- Trilliax: Pretty much the same, except a copy of Trilliax with far less health spawns about 2 minutes into the fight and needs killed ASAP.
So with those three now down and largely on farm, we now begin into the much harder bosses. This is where the real work begins! Continue reading →

How is 7.2’s lack of content superior to WoD’s lack of content?
It’s all about context… Continue reading →

For the Alliance! Wait, what?
For the past eight years, since I came back to World of Warcraft, I have been a dedicated Horde player.
When I re-subscribed I immediately sought out a guild, the sister guild of the old Alliance guild I’d started off WoW in during the middle 6 months of 2006 (Gnome Warlock!). I’ve been a member there now for just over 8 years, and been a member, raider, guild leader, ex-member for a week (long story), guild leader again, and for the most part, a raid leader too.
That guild is Thunder and since Feb/March 2009 I never looked back.
Until now… Continue reading →

Finding a new home…
Sar Crux is no more, either as a twitter handle or a domain name…
Yes the domain, sarcrux.com will still point here, but that will eventually expire, so try to update your bookmarks before that! 🙂
Why the reason for the change? Continue reading →

Still alive #isurvived2016
Don’t worry, I’m still around 🙂
Been taking a break from WoW due to burn out, and been enjoying the time off away from the game over Xmas & New Year, especially as I got a PS4 from Mrs Sar for Chrimbo 😀
I’ve got a pretty hard case of burnout from grinding AP for 3 months straight, so time away is doing me good, especially ahead of Nighthold releasing in 12 days.
Been playing quite a lot of Overwatch too, and enjoying getting into it again. D.Va is my girl, and she can do no wrong! 🙂
Expect more regular updates and posts soon too, as I’ve been taking a bit of a writing break over December, mainly due to the amount of assignments and coursework I had to do throughout Nov/Dec for my degree course, but the biggest cock-block has been my work firewall blocking this site because they say it’s “game-related”. And guess where I at least draft write a lot of my posts?
Pfft.
Anyhow, hope you have all had a great Xmas & New Year, and had a great time with your loved ones 🙂

Splitting the difference between Red and Blue
Or, seeing how the other half live for a change…
So, you may have noticed, if you’ve been following my recent tweets, that I’ve been playing a lot of different alts and a lot of them are on the Alliance side of the fence.
I’ve decided that come Legion, despite the fact that I’ll be maining a Guardian Druid for my horde guild, Thunder, it’s time for a bit of a change.

The Guide to Taming Thok
Thok, the Devilsaur from Siege of Orgrimmar in MoP is a gorgeous big beastie. The good news, for BM hunters at least, is that with 7.0 he is now tamable!
Hurrah!
So, how does one go about getting through to Thok, given that he’s over midway through the raid instance, and Galakras, the famously un-soloable fight lies in between you and he?
Well, let’s get into it with this guide to getting there and getting your very own Sparky! Continue reading →

Patch 7.0.3 Impressions
So the pre-patch, 7.0.3 is now live across all regions, and with it come all the changes being made in prep for Legion. So after a full day with the patch, what sort of things did it bring? What did you think about the changes?
Well, let’s break down what I thought into the stuff I loved, and the stuff I hated… Continue reading →
