There was a blue post today updating the 3.0.8 patch notes and I’ll make another post here in a few minutes outlining that notes. But, I felt the need to have the death (no pun intended) of THE premier tanking Glyph have it’s own post.

News of this first surfaced a couple weeks ago and while I found the story interesting, I didn’t think it was big enough for a blog post. Well apparently a lot of you do because I have received email after email about Dragoth, the only known Death Knight with the legendary Thunderfury. You can see his accomplishment via his achievement screen on the armory in the Feat of Strength section.

Many have asked how is this even possible considering that the Bindings of the Windseeker is class specific. German CM Rynundu answered the …
