Feeling the Wrath of... Wrath 

• Change is good. Or is it?
• Class changes: Like or dislike (pallies gone wild)
• Leveling, more exp required, but it seems to be going by quicker
• DKs, really really fun, but are they viable in the end?
• Endgame, or lack there of...
• The future, kinda questionable.

Episode 18 is here! We discuss 3.1 and more specifically Ulduar and the Argent Tournament. We finally get to our discussion on add-ons and exploits as well as a new three things we love and hate. 

A little later than we had planned, but here's Episode 17. We dive into the pile of news that cropped up since Episode 16. In fact, there was so much news we couldn't get to the discussion topic. Also, listener mail asks "Why does Dave even play WoW?".

Chris and Dave bring you a little news and then after the rains came, we wrap up our discussion of the Wrath of Wrath.
