The OverAchiever: Glory of the Hero strikes back

Shifting Perspectives: An Ulduar class preview, part 3-2

MIMIRON
Mimiron is…kind of complicated to describe. Suffice it to say that it’s a four-phase fight with different abilities to worry about on each phase. Short of writing a 3,000-word tract on Mimiron alone, I’m simply going to refer you here and here, and we’ll proceed under the assumption that you have a basic familiarity with [...]

Shifting Perspectives: An Ulduar class preview, part 3

A lot of folks found the article on planning for the Brewmaster title helpful, so we thought we’d put one together for the upcoming Hallow’s End holiday as well.
