Lethal Shots

An Un-Ceremonious Return

by Santyn on Dec.08, 2009, under Site News

I know it’s been about two months since I last posted anything here, but I’m still around. Some of you might have thought I threw in the towel and left this to become yet another defunct WoW blog. Well believe me when I say that is not nor has never been my intention. Between being slammed at work, my wife having a baby (7 weeks old at the time of this writing), and actually spending time playing WoW, I just haven’t taken the time to write. I just haven’t had anything to say really. Call it a huge case of writer’s block, but I think I have found a way around it.

Previously I tried to keep the blog focused on the Hunter class, which mimics how I used to play in game. But over the last few months I have went from raiding on a Hunter with a few casual alts I fool around with to raiding on a Hunter, Shaman, and shortly a Death Knight. So with that in mind, I have decided to take the blog in the same direction. After all, I started this blog to write about what I do and the things I learn in game, so When my focus in game changes, it only makes sense that the focus of the blog should change to reflect it.

When I play a class, I want to understand the class and be proficient at it. I want to be able to play that character in a group without being a liability. (That may be the anal retentive perfectionist in me coming out.) A side effect of this is that I spend a considerable amount of time researching all of the classes I play.  Needless to say that because of this I’ve developed many opinions and insights about more than just Hunters, and I plan to start sharing these here. You can expect to see posts covering Hunters (naturally), Shamans (both resto and enhance), Death Knights (mostly from a tanking perspective), along with anything I feel like sharing about any other alts I am leveling.

To go along with my new approach to the blog I am completely updating the look and layout. I’ve switched to a new theme named Pixel (with some modifications by me). So far I really like it, but if you have a sec let me know what you think in the comments. Another thing that I plan to go back and redo is my categories and tags. I’ve learned a lot since I started this, so now is about time to go back and apply that knowledge to my previous work. Also on the list to redo is my blog roll. It is sorely outdated, housing several dead blogs, some I don’t read anymore, and missing a ton that need to be there.

That’s really all I have to say for now. I’m looking forward to writing again. It’s something that I’ve missed doing the past few months, and I’m ready to jump back into it. Don’t expect something daily, but there should be at least a few posts a week.

As always, your thoughts and comments are always appreciated.
