Eight players who split the roster so every role gets a specialist author.
What we cover

Phase-by-phase timelines with cooldown maps, add priority and positioning diagrams. New Mythic guides land within 48 hours of a raid tier going live.
Talent trees, stat weights and rotation priority lists for every spec, refreshed each patch.

Nerf and buff impact write-ups the morning every patch drops.
Drop tables, tier-set math and a simulator-backed "is it an upgrade?" checklist.

Long-form conversations with race-to-world-first raid leaders on prep, comps and burnout.
