PeakCraft Podcast

In truest fashion, Liquid killed Mythic Sarkareth last Monday immediately after I finished editing the podcast. This week on the show, we recap the final hours of the RWF, review some interesting bits of their Brewmasters' talent builds, talk shop about our own progression, and cover the news from the week (including a new interview with Ion Hozzikostas & Holly Longdale).

The Mistweaver tier set for Aberrus has received a substantial internal cooldown, leaving it much weakened and a new build potentially dead in the water.
