In the wake of recent bugs and balance shakeups, WWG has also dropped new ancestries for the Druid and Monk! Join DblDubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff as they break down some of the wild new builds popping up in the community before turning their attention to the titular tree-hugging trendsetter – the Fabio (elf) druid.
Bug updates and WWYD make their usual appearances, and despite community events hitting a bit of a lull, the crew still manages to spend a full 35 minutes closing out the show… so you’ll probably want to stick around for that.
Or don’t. Thanks for listening.

Bouncing back from a buggy recap episode, the crew returns to the SS Sparks & Rec only to discover a couple more bugs still lingering in the hold. Also among the stowaways are a pair of new cards that have slipped into the Dungeons Promos market deck, along with perhaps the stealthiest change of all – a sneaky buff to War Blessing. The main topic of the show centers on Tuff’s tear through the queue with the latest meta menace (Elf Thief) following the most recent balance update.
And of course, all your other favorite segments. Thanks for listening.

The crew of DblDubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff take off aboard the SS Sparks & Rec for a journey through two Realms Rising leagues, both run by Eindeloos. With both kicking off new seasons just around the corner, and the decision having been made to use the community balance script for them both, it’s the perfect time for a discussion about what classes we’re retiring, what classes are returning, and which we’re giving a try in this fresh environment. So tune in to find out what we’re thinking in these level 12 and 18 events and be sure to stick around for a lengthy community round-up! Thanks for listening.
