My last solution didn’t end up working, but I ended up being able to piggyback my files over on Matticus‘s server in exchange for a pint a month. Thank you Matticus! Anyways, I’ll be moving the podcasts there one by one. You shouldn’t see any interruptions, or any more random flaking out.

I’m in the process of learning how to use simulationcraft. This is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you test and simulate situations in WOW. In my case, I plan on using it to try to figure out a “best practices” for cooldown use, as well as test some wisdom we’ve been using for a [...]

So I got a new weapon recently, and I’m sure by now most of you have managed to pick up something from ToC that’s giving you good mileage, which means it’s time to look at marksmanship! Of course, a lot of you PvE as marks. MM is by far the most fun spec to play [...]
