Huh, that’s funny. I never would have thought WOW Insider had standards, judging from some of the bloated, sensationalistic, typo-riddled flame-bait that they post as “news.” (Borrowing Thomstel’s word ^^)

Thankfully, you do, B3. It kinda blows that you’re not permitted to compose submissions that are up to your own standards, but I like what you write regardless of its length, and I think there are plenty of others who do as well.

The perfect should not be the enemy of the good. Nit pickers will always find fault. Yours was a very good article. It got the most important things right. You want to see heat? Read BRK’s first pieces in WoWInsider and the attendant comments.

Some of us started playing the game not long ago and appreciate the Kiddy-Kara articles. I am going to Kara for the first time tomorrow and have been reading your articles on gearing up and on what to do. So I don’t mind massive blocks of text, I appreciate it! Thanks for all that you do to help us new druids get our growl on!!

No idea why people complain about too much content.

Keep up the good work.

So sorry about your technicians. I like to say that there’s some subjects I know just enough about to make you think I know what I’m talking about all the while making everything worse… seems to me your two newbies haven’t quite come to that realization yet.

Actually, I stopped reading WI entirely, and most of the Massively content, due to the brief 3 paragraph ‘articles’. The whole bloody point to the ‘break’ link is to allow you to post a _complete_ article without overruning the ‘main’ page.

WI’s ‘tl;dr’ pandering just means its not worth my time, so, I hit blogs like yours.

Was gonna say, you TOTALLY missed the usefulness of aquatic form in Kara. Like when you cross the creek ta gets ta the back door.

BBB, it’s the curse of a good story teller. I suggest you do your best and let it go. You’ll never make everyone happy, just make yourself happy.

Caelean@Akama says: The usual advice I’ve seen is “get to 4 or 5 combo points, then wait for enough energy to rip then mangle”.

The information is correct but for different reasons than you stated. The attack power modifier is the same for a 4 point or 5 point Rip. So the only dps difference is the base damage which is relatively small.

But awesome work though BBB. Love your articles.

I just got into my first real Kara last night.

It was really fun and scary and exciting and fun.
