In what turned out to be our longest show to date, Amijade teaches Hend and Rob how to play both Affliction and Demonology warlocks. If you are even thinking of rolling a warlock, this is a must listen! We even find out just how long Hendlove lasts. As if that wasn’t enough, we have even included almost 12 minutes of bonus material not heard on the live show! So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. You’ll be glad you did!
We are joined by Tikari who gives us the rundown on everyone’s favorite stealth class, the Rogue. With a brief overview of all 3 specs and some more in-depth discussion on Assassination, you’ll be turning tricks… of the trade in no time! We’ve also got a new Crowd Control segment! Enjoy!
Hend and Rob have a rage filled discussion with WoW Insiders very own legendary warrior, Matthew Rossi. This episode goes completely off the rails with everything from a Fury Warrior “how to” talk, to what jerks those Alliance folks are! Making up for missing last week, this show is the longest episode to date. Jam packed from start to finish with bearded goodness, you won’t want to miss a minute of this one.
The filthy Alliance was hard at work tonight trying to sabotage this show. We had multiple disconnects, some weird noise skipping and not even sure what happened in the middle of the show. Kevin Old Scratch from the Darkmoon Herald talks Shaman and by the end of the show all 3 of us are re-evaluating our talents choices! Yes, even The Training Dummies learn something on this show! Be warned, after about 1 hour the sound quality deteriorates and we actually cut out a chunk of the show. If you want to hear the cut portion, it is at the end of the show.
We have a treat for you tonight! Training Dummy meets Robot when Zoopercat from Ask Mr. Robot joins us to discuss some of the new features on their site as well as the ever popular Gear Optimizer. Strap yourself in and get ready for a doozy!
With emails O’plenty we had to dedicate an entire show to get through them all. You’ll have to listen closely to understand the show’s title… and don’t judge!
We give to you a bit of ourselves through our show, and we want to thank our community for giving back to us so that we could give back to you! We gave away two more prizes this week from Twitter and Facebook contests.
A review of some of the more popular sites for Sources and Optimization. We also answer some emails that start a decent discussion among us before we dig in to the main topic of Source websites.
