Your ranked combat score, logged and graded against everyone else.

A dead-simple fight: tank holds the boss, everyone else hits it.

Digging into the maths and game data to min-max the perfect build.

When the whole group dies and the fight resets.

A heavy hit aimed straight at the tank — mit it or get flattened.

A one-hander plus a shield — the classic tanking setup.

A low-level character decked out in gear way above its level.

To Polymorph an enemy into a harmless sheep so they're out of the fight.

A healer treated like a machine that only exists to spam heals.

A player who snatches loot they had no right to roll on.

A Balance druid in their big angry owl-bear form.

A caster class stuck in cloth armour — high damage, paper-thin defence.

Reskinning your gear so it looks fire without touching the stats.

Damage over time — a debuff that ticks away an enemy's health bit by bit.

WoW-born equivalent of 'lol.'

A battle res — resurrecting an ally mid-fight without dropping combat.

To resurrect a dead player and get them back in the fight.
