R.I.P. Scattered Shots

14 Comments
I've known for about a week, but Alex just posted it publicly today, so I've already got the initial disappointment out of the way. But yes, class columns are getting shut down at WoW Insider.

Some of you probably know me from the writing I do at WoW Insider for the Scattered Shots column.  Scattered Shots was actually my first go at blogging, and I've since enjoyed writing about hunters every week.
