About Whomp

I've played World of Warcraft nearly since its inception in 2004.  From the original World of Warcraft to its current expansion, Mists of Pandaria, I have run dungeons and raids with the hardcore gamers and the casual players.  I've played a variety of different classes and races throughout that time, learning how to play all the different roles in the game. 

As a player that has seen the game from a variety of different angles, I have noticed a knowledge gap that exists.  Newer players or casual players are expected to know the fights of a raid instantaneously, which is an unrealistic expectation.  The in-game "Looking for Raid" feature only briefly introduces players to fights, without really teaching them what is going on.

This leads to players who have to either learn about the fights through experience or learn about them through research.  Trying to learn through experience means they will likely make mistakes that can turn a group against them.  The drama and the anger that can result from this is enough to make a player never try to raid again.  Learning through research means sifting through videos and paragraphs of information.  For those without a photographic memory, or those who don't want to take notes for a game, this is a turn-off as well.

Therefore, this site will serve as a guide for World of Warcraft raiding and strategy.  I will compile my knowledge as well as point out the best sources of information in hopes of making everyone's gaming experience better.  I believe that everyone can be equipped with knowledge that will make groups easier.  By doing this, World of Warcraft can be more enjoyable for all.
