Moonkin disappointed with T8 sets

By Lissanna | Published: March 18, 2009

The stats for the Tier 8 sets from 25-man Ulduar are up on MMO-champion. In general, the moonkin community feedback on this set in the few hours we’ve had access to this has not been positive. In fact, most moonkin seem to hate it. In most ways, it’s not an upgrade to what they’re already [...]

3.1 Raiding in Ulduar: The return of GOOTROF

The relic system is out-dated

By Lissanna | Published: March 16, 2009

Back in the beginning of Azeroth, The only thing druids could put in their ranged weapon slot was Egan’s Blaster, a quest item from Eastern Plaguelands. Yeah, that thing. It had no stats, but it was fun. We begged and pleaded and asked for something with stats to put in our ranged weapon slot. So, [...]
