Author Bio

Twelve years of progression raiding, most of it spent at range while the tanks hold the line. These days I split my time between pushing high keys, keeping this tavern, and pulling combat logs apart to see what actually happened versus the agreed version.

What I do at two in the morning

Usually one of three things. Replaying a wipe to find the exact second it turned, testing whether a new talent actually changes anything outside the tooltip, or rewriting a guide because a hotfix moved the numbers while I slept. Theory is my starting point, never my conclusion. If a call cannot survive contact with a live boss and a tired group, it does not leave my notebook.

What you will never find under my name

  • Copied sim charts passed off as advice. Simulations assume nobody moves, nobody panics, and latency is a rumor. My groups do all three.
  • Guides I would not follow myself. Every route here has my group’s fingerprints on it, including the wipes it took to learn.
  • Filler between you and the answer. Lore essays are lovely elsewhere. Here you get the call, the timing, and the way out.

Where to find me

Between pulls, mostly. But my inbox works too: info@tendemerveilles.com. Logs, better routes, corrections, arguments about kick priority — all welcome, all read by an actual human holding an actual shield.
