    Share this post with your friends. I was going to write an actual post about numbers and the top 5 specs for each class from data mined from the top 20 PvE guilds in the world, but instead, I’m going to just put this all...

    What is it with warriors?

    The Putricide tango; or, anecdotal advice on positioning the Professor

    Posted on April 5, 2010 | 3 Comments
    Professor Putricide is starting to be a fun fight for me. The first few times we were in there, even as late as last week, I felt kind of like I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. After looking at...
