Resist gear? who needs resist gear?

So, for those of you tuning in, the guild that introduced me to kara, etc. and my current progression guild (4/5, 4/9) do a joint raid of SSC or TK (sometimes both) on saturdays. Tonight, we did an SSC night (5 x one shots, two phase 3 vashj wipes) and we had some entertaining highlights.

For starters, our nature tank was just flat out of his game tonight. Awesome tank usually, not sure what was going on but he was just having trouble with TPS and burst TPS in general. So, of course,...

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (Season 3)

Posted 05-24-2008 at 12:54 PM by Kazeyonoma
Hey all,

First time posting a blog so bear with me if it's terribad. Just something I wanted to get off my chest.

If any of you know me around here, one of my greatest passions to this game is the PvP aspect of it and more importantly Arenas. I got started late in season 2, scrapping together a Deep Thunder which carried me into s3 with 4/5 s2 gear acquired with all the hopes and aspirations of being something great come season 3. I even had a good resto druid friend...
