World of Warcraft: The Absolute Necessary Feature for LFR
Today, I experienced a rather disheartening DC where the servers just randomly shutdown while I was in an instance.

World of Warcraft: Throne of Thunder LFR Part 1 Simple Tactics for DPS
Right now, I feel quite comfortable in discussing simple tactics in handling the LFR version for Throne of Thunder’s part 1 wing. I’ve read tactics over on WoWHead but some of the write ups for the LFR strategies tend to feel out of date compared to what you may encounter in LFR at the moment.…

World of Warcraft: Re-using Legendaries from Mist of Pandaria
One of the most disappointing things at the moment is how the epic weapons and legendary gem that you spent months farming essentially turn out to be worthless the minute you acquire a better weapon from the Throne of Thunder. While it’s always exciting for new forms of loot to be found, I felt that…
