Why Write This Blog

In response to several people on the official forums who noted that my arena rating is less than stellar and my gear too is not amazing I wrote this post and I thought I would share it here since it really addresses the whole purpose of this blog. 

The reason I started this blog, is that I find writing on a topic helps me learn more about the topic. I agree, I am not an expert mage by any means and if I come off as one in my blog that is not the impression that I mean to give. I have though leveled four characters to 70 and been involved in a lot of end game content - though I do consider myself a casual gamer (having a job, two kids and other hobbies seriously cuts into WOW time).

What I hope that readers will get from my blog is several things. First and foremost a positive outlook on the mage class as a whole. In reading some posts here I often wonder why some people choose to play the mage class considering how down they are on it. Second, as I progress, I want to share the knowledge that I learn from my research with other mages so that they have a clear and well researched source they can turn to. One of my favorite rogues from worldofwar.net said, and I paraphrase now, that you don't have to be a 2200 rated rogue pvper to write a 2200 rogue pvp guide. I agree with him. So yeah, my guild is not raiding BT and my gear is a work in progress but I hope to bring readers information that will take them from Kara to Black Temple and beyond.
