First off, thank you everyone so much for your kind words about the new site. You guys are awesome. I think it looks nicer than the old site – but I’ve had so many people rave about how much they love the new one. /blush! Despite a few hiccups and frustrations, I really enjoyed putting

Warning – this has nothing to do with item mechanics, healing, theorycrafting, or anything remotely informative. This is purely a personal post about things near and dear to me as a player, and will probably just end up as a silly ramble more than anything. Feel free to skip over it if you’re not a
