Group Organization: A Primer (Part 2)
I got a lot of good feedback to last week’s post on tips for organizing groups, and what buffs benefitted what classes the most.

We’ve spent a lot of time lately looking at hunter crowd control and the ways it can be utilized, and how useful hunters can be in instances as a result. What we haven’t talked much about, however, are the other [...]
More on Chain Trapping
Since folks seemed to find the illustrations in my guide on chain trapping so helpful, I decided to cobble together another one.
