Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone,

the podcast about World of Warcraft,

the people who play it.

Today is April 19th, 2025, and my name is Spencer Downey.

Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the podcast. I'm joined today as always by my co-host Jason Lucas. Jason, how are you doing on this Saturday afternoon? Oh my goodness. Spencer, hello. Yes. I don't know if we ever recorded a main episode of the show on a Saturday afternoon before, but here we are. Yeah. And this is like, this is like in that window where my brain is at like high capacity. So, you know, anything can happen on the show today, I think. But yeah, like, I'm doing well. We got a lot of, we don't have any like massive breaking news to talk about. We got a lot of stuff to cover this week. And we are, as we now we are just a couple days out from patch 11.1.5 is imminent this week on you know on live realm so you know

but it's not going to be something where I'm spending significant time away from the

activities that I'm enjoying in season two and that are kind of priorities.

So to me, I think that's a good place for it to come in.

Yeah, it's interesting, the activities that are priorities for me currently, obviously Mythic Plus being a large thing outside of Raid, and we won't be raiding until tomorrow night. So I have a little bit of time before that happens since it's Saturday currently. But it means that outside of that Mythic Plus has kind of been the big thing.

And so I've been focusing on trying to get all my 12s and 13s in time to try and get that extra bit of resilience going, the key resilience going.

And obviously work my way towards 3K, which I'm now at like 2850 or 2840 something on two characters because it's sort of spread out between whichever one the group needs, whether it's my druid for just high key in general power plus a battle res plus versatility

buff, which is also really nice. Or my evoker, which brings lust, obviously plus also is performing

very well in keys. So they're both viable. And so they're both getting these little bits and pieces of if I can combine them together,
