Mutual Assured Destruction

Threat for Threat’s Sake
Friday, June 27th, 2008 Posted in Bosses, Dungeons | 2 Comments »Like most tanks at my level of progression (or so I'm given to understand), I tend to gear for threat over survivabilty, so my DPS can go that little bit further all-out and help to beat the enrage timer. It's ...
Gruul says: Die! (And we did)
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 Posted in Bosses, Burning Crusade | No Comments »So a return to Gruul's lair before the reset. And how did it go? Well, our attempts were much better than our first go - 18% - but still short of the mark. Gruul's an interesting character, but the thing that ...
