News - April 8
We'll open this up with a look at my favorite class, the Hunter. Danial Whitcomb has rounded up a nice selection of fora posts from the various hunter big names (such as Lactose and Cheeky) about some of the challenges a hunter faces. An often maligned class, this post is certainly a good read on some of the challenges hunters face in the game.
Scott Andrews continues the good articles with one about how to move a casual guild into the raiding scene. It's not as easy as one thinks. He gives some good tips and places to start. Probably the best advice I saw in there was this tidbit: "You can raid as a casual guild, but you can't raid casually." I see this personally elsewhere and it's a trainwreck every time.
What's a post here without a bit of controversy, right? Well, with the new Neck rewards available from the Shattered Sun Offensive, it seems that folks are regretting a choice made a long time ago...Aldor or Scryer. Now, you can change your faction, but it's a long painful grind, generally not really worth it. Of course, plenty of debate about whether or not the procs are one-sided or not ensues.
The final battle has arrived! It's Kel'Thuzad vs Illidan! Who will come out on top! Go cast your vote!
Zach Yonzon chips in with a great article on Eye of the Storm strategies. I have been trying to grind up some honor, recently, and took a couple forays into EotS due to it being an EotS weekend, and getting a couple daily quests there. The...disorganization had me almost ready to start pulling hair out. Folks shouting out 2-3 conflicting strats, while everyone seemed to do whatever they wanted anyhow, while the Horde steamrolled us. I wish I could have pointed folks to this page then.
Most folks who I play with in WoW know the love/hate relationship the RNG and I have with each other. It loves to hate me. But, I figure that for everyone out there like me, there is someone who the RNG loves. (I'm looking at you, Mr. I-Got-A-Mature-Blue-Dragon-Sinew-In-Less-Than-30-Minutes). So it's interesting to see that I'm not the only one the RNG has taken a disliking to.
Hortus has a pretty nice Known 2.4 Issues list up.
Bornakk also lets us know that greens are the new purples again in WotLK. It won't be as bad as it was with the Classic to TBC change, but one of the same general nature is coming. Time to stop raiding now and just kill time in Arena's and BG's....
On a final note, Sons of the Storm is a beautiful WoW inspired gallery site, with artwork well worth checking out.
