		<description><![CDATA[I am overall satisfied with how Season 7 went for my RMP. We hit 80 roughly a week before the season started and geared our characters from all blues/greens to almost full relentless. I am happy to say that none of us bought rating to get weapons or any other gear, all of our progress was due to hard work and learning our comp. Although I had originally expected to end the season with a higher rating, I am fine with where we did end due to some bad losses to counter-comps where we would lose ridiculous amounts of points while hard wins would net us only a few.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prot Warriors have been the topic as of late. You may have noticed a Prot Warrior team reaching 3000 rating and maybe the Prot Warrior team that played at MLG Orlando this past weekend. It is undeniable if you have played against them that Prot Warriors are a serious threat in PvP. With the current state, Blizzard has announced that they will be nerfing Prot Warrior PvP. Here are my views on the topic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As promised, here is some video captured during our arena matches last weekend. The matches are between 1850 and 1900 rating. We played many comps like beast cleave, mirror, spell cleave, TSG, etc. I spent a lot of time during these matches doing offensive dispelling, more than usual. The challenge of playing a disc priest is the balance between defensive and offensive play. I have had teammates get global'd during a holy fire cast.

RMP is a lot of fun because of the diverse strategies vs the various comps. We don't just pick a target to try and global, we pick our CC targets and damage targets and switch when needed. Hopefully these matches offer some strategies for your RMP or other comp.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A large part of what makes Arenas fun for me is the amount of competition. The same thing that turns people away from Arenas because they are too competitive, is the same thing that I like about them. The changing competition and inability to fully predict what the enemy will do next is what keeps me coming back. If you are more into raiding, imagine if your guild finally got to Anub'Arak except he changed tactics every time you tried to down him. There is no more phases, no more emotes or timers to predict when he'll use his abilities; only raw teamwork can even come close to beating him. How many of you would still raid? How many wouldn't fall asleep like you normally do when you run old content?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a long post written for this past weekend. It was the culmination of my frustrations over not being able to hit 1800 to get relentless weapons. For my gear, I was losing a lot of spell power by gemming for the resilience that I need to stay competitive in arenas. I have also been wearing a WG trinket instead of my battlemaster's because of the resilience. There was no other solution to getting that SP back other than getting the relentless weapons.

I ended up scrapping the whole post because we were able to hit 1800 on our 3v3 team on Saturday. I had a blast playing and it felt good to be able to accomplish a big task without being carried. We have worked hard for the rating and deserve it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should be getting back to my regular posting now. I have been hunting every weekend and it doesn't leave me time for much else. It will be nice to have a weekend without all the traveling. I am also starting a new guild (which I'll talk about below) and that has been taking up my time. You can expect more posts in the next few weeks, so keep checking back.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've all seen it; Someone is starting a PUG raid and needs a few healers, dps, or tanks. They say in LFG: "LF 2 healers, 3 dps, and 1 tank for VoA25. PST stats and achievement or no reply." The key point they are trying to make is that they want only quality players who have experience at the fights.

You have been looking for that group all day. Finally you get a chance to join a raid to do that instance. Except there is a problem... You have never done the instance before on this character. Like me, you have done it dozens of times on other characters and know the fight backwards and forwards. You could contribute to the kill with your eyes closed. Your character has the gear and you have the experience but you will never get an invite because you don't have the achievement.]]></description>
