The Great Vault Almanac – Shadowlands Season 3, Week 2
The first week of Season 3 is drawing to a close, and with it we are all preparing to open our weekly disappointment boxes with reset and rejoice as for the one and only time in a tier they’re all but guaranteed to drop an upgrade. That leads one to a very...Brewmaster tl;dr – Patch 9.2
Patch 9.2 is upon us, and that means it is time for a round-up of all the changes to the spec that you need to be aware of going into the new raid tier and Mythic+ season. This is a tl;dr—we’re only going to give the highlights and answer common questions....
