World of Warcraft

Awakened, as if from a slumber...

Well hello there! It's been a few months since I've made a post here. The reason for that is mainly because I've not had the creative drive to actually sit and think of words to actually lay down on "paper" for a

Why responsibility is like a boomerang...

And it's certainly not why a raven is like a writing desk... When I left Thunder as a raider, I obviously stepped down as a raid leader and as one of the guild leaders, then later also stepped down as an officer once the Thunder website etc was

Coming full circle in the World of Warcraft... (Part Two)

In Part One, I outlined the many problems faced by players of Balance Druids in Nighthold and almost certainly ones that will continue into Tomb of Sargeras: * The damage ceiling of the spec is disturbingly close to the floor for many other damage specs in the game. * Damage output is

A terrible saviour... and a worse fate.

A certain aspect of Legion has been problematic for certain players this expansion... For the cyclical players, the infamous portion of the player base mooted by Watcher that would come and go on a regular basis, random upgrades & legendary drops are fun. These are the sorts of players who

Finally! I'm a Mythic Raider!

So THH have conquered Heroic Nighthold, and have it on farm (we're able to clear it in about 90 minutes or so), so over the past 3 weeks we've been pressing forwards into Mythic Nighthold. The differences between bosses on Mythic and Heroic isn't

How is 7.2's lack of content superior to WoD's lack of content?

It's all about context... At the time of writing we are about 6 weeks into patch 7.2, and so far there's been very little content. Due to the gating of the storyline leading up to the release of Tomb of Sargeras in mid to late

Life at the bottom of the meter

Or, how Balance is so strong it can hold up everyone else at the bottom... So it's been a few weeks now since the big move to Treehugging Hippies on Silvermoon, and my trial period has now been successfully completed. Cushty This is despite the fact that Balance,

For the Alliance! Wait, what?

For the past eight years, since I came back to World of Warcraft, I have been a dedicated Horde player. When I re-subscribed I immediately sought out a guild, the sister guild of the old Alliance guild I’d started off WoW in during the middle 6 months of

Finding a new home...

Sar Crux is no more, either as a twitter handle or a domain name... Yes the domain, sarcrux.com will still point here, but that will eventually expire, so try to update your bookmarks before that! :) Why the reason for the change? Well it's because I want to

Still alive #isurvived2016

Don't worry, I'm still around :) Been taking a break from WoW due to burn out, and been enjoying the time off away from the game over Xmas & New Year, especially as I got a PS4 from Mrs Sar for Chrimbo :D I've got

Legion - The Honeymoon is over!?

So, we're well into Legion's release now, a full 3 months into the expansion and midway through the first tier of raiding with Nighthold to release in January 2017 as the final instance of the first tier. Of course since the last post (oops, didn'

Back from Hols, back in the saddle!

So after a holiday that couldn't have been timed any worse, raiding has begun! After the launch of Legion I took 8 days off of work in order to get levelled and get some sort of progress on gearing ahead of raids, because 2 weeks into Legion being
