So as I’m digesting the changes from survival to marksmanship, one of the things I took for granted was that I’d have to re-gem and re-enchant. Agility used to be king, but surely attack power would be for marks right? Apparently not!

Unmercey 7 and other rogue videos

I watched Unmercey 7, which Rogue-Rogue linked to in their latest blog entry.The subtitle of the video (Unmercey 7: Hana) confused me at first. I figured it referred to the flower in the description image, because 'hana' is 'flower' in Japanese. The problem
