So I'll be posting some basic observations on progress each day during the race itself. In fact Paragon asked me to not just provide updates to interested readers on their progress but also track the race in general. Since raiding began yesterday on the American servers, I'll start off with a short update today and then keep adding information, at least daily and sometimes even more as the race heats up. Yes, yes, I know the "real" race begins next week with the heroic modes, but I think how we're moving through the normal modes can be quite informative ...

This is the hunter guide for Dragon Soul normal modes by Rinku. Even when hunters won't possibly be shining in the upcoming patch, here are some thoughts on how to squeeze as much as possible out of our class . This post doesn't take a position on which spec you should play. All the encounters mentioned are based on PTR experience and can vary from how they will be when released.

As you probably have noticed, we have done some tweaking and polishing around the site to make it more accessible and readable. There is still work to be done, and all the features haven't been completed yet. We'll add more as we go along. We hope you enjoy the design.

And remember, feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
