Hey Lethan,

Was wondering if you could add this guide to your list:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1999604968#1

Thanks a bundle, keep up the great work!

-Reci

Of course! I am not sure how I managed to miss that guide, but it is certainly worth adding to the list :)

Guide to start raiding (in alpha stage)
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2226268285#1

Great guide! I have added it to the list :)

Nice guide! :D

Offtopic:
Lethan, you should consider enchanting and gemming your gear. xD

Indeed, that seems like a good idea. Truth is, I don't play Lethan that much anymore. I have alts to level and stuff which I usually prefer rather than logging my 85 main :)

Hey Lethan,

I already have this posted in the Raid and Guild Leadership forums but thought it might be of use to some newcomers here.

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2151593551
Hope you can find a spot for it.

Cheers
- Sam

That's a great guide, Sam! I'll add it to the thread :)
