No, BRK is not cutting-edge in terms of raiding. My guild suffered for the first two months in Firelands trying to run 25s before cutting down and switching to 10s, so we were that much behind everybody else. Then we had a massive guild-leadership failure and our main tank / raid leader, primary paladin healer, [...]

Now that Gamescom is over, the last few interviews are popping up with a few interesting details.

On Tuesday, an (insert extremely vulgar and obscenity-laced tirade worthy of Dennis Leary here) BELF hunter stole my Spirit Beast Owl as I was taming it. But on Wednesday, I camped that bird and tamed it within thirty seconds of it spawning. My owl will serve me loyally and with love. That BELF’s owl is [...]

/ring ring ring! Hallo? BRK?! It’s me! Ghostcrawler Can ya hear me, boy-o? Well I hear you and a lot of whirring… That’s the chopper! We’re going to lunch in ‘Frisco and I said, ‘Who wants to sit in traffic on a Tuesday?!’ So I nabbed the keys to the Sikorski and my secretary Nanette [...]

The guild has decided that 25-man raiding is just not possible with our current roster of players, so we’ve downsized to 10-man raiding . Then we took a hammer to Firelands, indignation fueling our venture. Shannox, Beth, and Baleroc down in one night. New boots from Bale for yours truly, and DPS-supremacy for Beastmastery and [...]
Wrath of Medivh, aka WoM, is the guild in which I find myself. We are a 25-man Firelands raiding guild, and we need DPS. Ya hear that?! DPS! Not tanks, not trees, not green totem tossers. We need more members of our Pain Train. Granted, we’re quite full on Hunters and Warlocks. Totally full. No [...]

Here’s my armory-link so you can see that I’m not equipped with anything you can’t get outside of Avengers of Hyjal dailies, Zul-Aman and Zul-Gurub runs, valor points and crafted gear. The other two hunters out-gear me, and in many situations out-DPS me. But not always. This report is from Shannox, including the two dog-adds. [...]

“So do you play WoW?” I get that question a lot, and the answer is: yes. You can find me playing in a 25-man raiding guild on a new server. My old guild didn’t need me anymore, so for greener pastures I searched. The new gang with whom I roll is progressing slowing but with [...]
So the Big Thing is over and I want to write about it, but it’s hard so I’ve been procrastinating, and because of that I haven’t written anything, and then I try to write something and I lose interest, and then I go make a crostini, and then I sit on the sofa and it’s [...]
Hopefully we’ve diverted our very kind and loquacious benefactor onto the other blog and we can write something worthwhile here. So should we jump right into the steak recipe, or should we talk about shallots first? (TELEPHONE RINGS!) /sigh “Yel-lo?” “Is this Mr. Kitty?” “You called me; mind introducing yourself, please? Phone-etiquette isn’t dead, ya [...]
