Half Gamer Half Crab

They say alcoholics never truly recover. That they have to remain ever vigilant against the allure. I'm like that, only with Blizzard games. No matter what, no matter how long it has been, you can guarantee that I will feel a random need to play Diablo II, Warcraft II/III, StarCraft, or - and this is the worst of them all - World of Warcraft.

And yes, despite all those other wonderful games floating around right now, I feel the need to WoW. I've been checking stuff out about 3.0 and WotLK for the last few days, and I read El Blogo Pike to keep up with why Hunters are awesome (We are), which doesn't help, because her enthusiasm for all things WoW really is contagious. At any rate I discovered this whole business about Glyphs and Inscription, and it sounded like a very cool idea, a neat way of more customization for your character.

Until I found this magnificent little number. What. I mean no, seriously, what? What the heck? Okay let's say that using Eyes of the Beast wasn't suicidal because you leave yourself undefended. How is it a good thing? Even with +50% Strength you're going to be doing far less damage than if you and your pet worked together on the offense. Doubly so because you're not going to get any feedback that helps both of you prosper, for instance the bonus to one of you when the other gets a crit sort of thing.

I'm quite stunned by this glyph business now!
