Time to re-awaken the dormant blog.  With MMO Champion predicting a November 2nd release date, I’m now officially excited about Cataclysm.  Let’s get back in the swing of things with a nice rant.

How to Wipe on the Lich King Encounter

I thought about doing your normal “How to heal the Lich King as a Resto Shaman” post, but then I had a revelation.  Odds are, I’d come here to write that post after I get my first kill, all pleased with myself for finally downing this sort-of final boss in Wrath of the Lich . . . → Read More: How to Wipe on the Lich King Encounter
