Was it really 8,000, or was that an exaggeration?
Cause 3 of those were mine... heh

Having Daniel Howell as your hunter "authority" is an insult to good hunters everywhere.

Can we get them to be posted more than once a week (for each class)? I don't want to edge out all the non-class specific posts, but its hard to get up to speed on a class when the posts are so infrequent. Even twice a week would really help us improve our knowledge base quicker. As you can tell, I think these features have been very interesting and I applaud your decision to start them. Keep up the good work!

how many complaints will it take until the warlock column gets thoroughly fact checked before it gets posted? Cause it urgently needs that.

As I play all toons representing all classes I very much appreciate the input of those with more experience or insight than I have. Daniel Howell, in particular, has done an extraordinarily good job and I will play my L61 NElf huntress far more skilfully due to his educational pieces. Regrettably, he has attracted malicious flamers and trolls some of whom wish to do him harm. Best to ignore them.

If you were improved by his articles, you still have a long way to go.

Hope BRK gets replaced soon with something that doesn't make me feel ashamed to be a hunter.

You haven't rounded out your collection yet, you need a writer for Blood Pact that actually plays a warlock and doesn't make real warlocks mad.

Ken -
It's just that you don't know how to play. But, I'm glad Daniel Howell taught you that agility is a good stat to have on your gear, and that you have the ability to 'trap' things. Also, after this sentence I'm sure you'll like my comment a lot better because I finish by stacking a bunch of BRK BRK BRK BRK.
Since you like the articles so much, here's a BRK post for you. Learn some more great things!
BRK is here to tell you that hunters can use guns, bows, and crossbows as ranged weapons. To be an expert hunter like BRK, you probably want to use one of these instead of thrown weapons if you can find one. BRK also wants to teach you about Arcane Shot. This shot can be fire by running, and BRK likes to run by holding down both mouse buttons.
Firing an autoshot in this manner takes practice, just like being a Super Bowl quarterback, but BRK is glad to help lead you. Ken, one day you can use autoshot like BRK. Hopefully with a ranged weapon equipped.

Belthasar,
You are one vicious, spiteful and repulsive specimen of humanity. What motivates people like you? Need for attention? Delight in putting others down? No nooky? Just quit smoking? On the wagon for now? Wife aggro?

Well, I won't need the hunter RSS feed because I don't like to read anything written by people who think Rape is funny. And yes, BRK THAT'S YOU.

Dudes, you rock, thanks again for this. I just got back from a bidness trip to Europe and I haven't played in 2 weeks. What to do now? Play or read up on all the wowinsider goodness I missed.

Man, what a helpful Priest section!

I really feel sorry for the hunters who think they'll be playing "better" when they read BRK - but I feel sorrier for me, because I'll be the one quietly trying to convince them not to read a congenital idiot for class advice.

What adds insult to injury is that even as there have been numerous comments pointing out the errors in the latest warlock column those have still not been fixed. I must conclude that this blog simply doesn't care. Very amateurish.
