When the Menagerie's pet XP yield was nerfed in patch 6.1, new traveling NPCs Erris and Kura began visiting our garrisons as a consolation XP boost. Now even that cold comfort has been taken away, due to an exploit.

Gorehowl is no longer just a collection of pixels -- Grommash Hellscream's iconic weapon has become reality.

I spent last night thinking about humans. We’re terrifying if you really stop and think about us. We can eat things that are toxic to most other species. We can survive broken bones, gunshot wounds, all manner of injuries that would incapacitate or even kill most other species on Earth. Humans used to hunt by simply walking after our prey until it fell down dead from exhaustion. Then we figured out how to make things get dead even more efficiently. Spears, spear-throwers, slings, bows… we’re a terrifying bunch.

"Awwwwwww, isn’t he cute?" writes submitter Arugadh of Deep Forest Caravan on Wyrmreset Accord (US-A). "Kil’jaeden gets so angry when happy gnomes invade his Fortress of Evil. Poor guy can’t harm a fly, and actually thinks getting mad is somehow going to deter my little warlock from squishing him to the ground. No wonder my ‘lock is laughing so psychotically."

Talent selection is not crazy difficult at this point in the game's lifespan if you've played Enhancement before... but who doesn't want to think more about their talent selections?

Today, Blizzard announced that they will no longer be offering the Founder's Pack after next Tuesday, April 7th. So if you can't wait for another way to get into the beta to pan out, the window to buy your way in is closing quick.

In the spirit of the incredible Patreon response that allowed Encrypted Text (and the rest of Blizzard Watch) to return, this week we're going to do a The Queue-style Q&A column focused on rogue-specific topics that you've all requested. Stabtacular!

The Queue is late today, but I have a very good reason — see, I was finishing the first round of payments for the writers at Blizzard Watch, and I entirely blanked that I needed to write this.

Mind elsewhere and all that. Good times. Let’s get down to some Q&A.
