Posted on28. Jun, 2010 by Veneration.
In Part I, we looked at each mob, the way the mobs enter the “Arena” and finally the way the mobs behave.

What is Radiance?
Posted on05. May, 2010 by Merric.
So, we don’t do a lot of raiding. Well, truth be told we barely raid at all. In fact, in the past year I think we’ve done 2 raids which have been Helegrod and The Rift; and that was at level 65. So why am I doing a post on Radiance now? Has everything changed? Are we tossing aside the word “Casual” in A Casual Stroll to Mordor?
