So close, yet so far…
We came a smidgen away from getting our first ever Cutting Edge, for killing N’Zoth on Mythic, but after 200+ pulls it just wasn’t meant to be…

Statement of Intent: Part 2
With the pre-tuning issues Hunters have at the moment with rotations over both specs, I’ve been thinking about a Plan B that would serve as a backup plan should Hunters not get smoothed out…

Why responsibility is like a boomerang…
And it’s certainly not why a raven is like a writing desk… When I left Thunder as a raider, I obviously stepped down as a raid leader and as one of the guild leaders, then later also stepped down as an officer once the Thunder website etc was transferred to a new host.

Coming full circle in the World of Warcraft… (Part Two)

Damage output is punished cruelly by heavy movement and target switching. Mediocre damage in AoE heavy fights, even though that should be Balance’s niche.

Choosing a class for Legion?
Or, what happens when an Atheist joins the Clergy… So, with Hunters seemingly still in a rather disturbing place on Alpha, you’ll probably already be aware that I’ve begun to look further afield for my next class. I’ve decided that I wanted to give full-time healing a go, as it’s the only role I’ve never main specced with during all my years in Azeroth (it’ll be 8 years this year). I’ve obviously done the whole DPS & Tank thing, even at one stage thinking of playing all 5 tank classes. Then I realised how boring Warriors & Druids were to tank
