In episode 96 the boys are joined by raiding royalty again with Midwinter’s resto Shaman, Kev. You know the drill… talents, glyphs, rotations, and Darryl insisting that his Shaman is still his main. So keep your healing stream on cool down and come hang out as Kev tells us why it’s time to ditch those old talents and get with the ancestral swiftness.
Episode 93 brings the final instalment of the back to fundamentals series and who better to talk about how to refine your DPS game than our good friend Serenity Saz!

From lining up trinket procs, to thinking like a tank, to having fun, getting back to the basics is easy as sitting down on a dummy! (her words, not ours)
