  • The Solo Queue is perfect for the solo player!

    Dave has such great insights into this MMO from the solo perspective! The way he engages with WoW individually and then shares his experiences with others that resonate with his solo style has honestly been inspiring. Since listening, I’ve started to carve out time to play the game quietly on my own each week to find a different level of immersion. It’s been refreshing!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Do You Not Solo Interview, Part 1 with Jason Lucas! - Ep 42
Q: What are current barriers for new players wanting to tank?
Barriers include the social risk of pug groups, the need to learn class-specific cooldowns and priorities, and the difficulty of finding supportive, low-stakes environments to practice.
How Do You Not Solo Interview, Part 1 with Jason Lucas! - Ep 42
Q: How has tanking evolved from the early days to now?
Tanking evolved from a more threshold-based, gear-check and taunt-heavy system to a highly interactive, DPS-forward role where Zone and threat mechanics are less about preventing damage and more about maximizing uptime and survivability through class-defining buffs and defensing tools.
How Do You Not Solo Interview, Part 1 with Jason Lucas! - Ep 42
Q: What is it that you love about tanking in World of Warcraft?
He loves the defensive, sturdy archetype and the challenge of managing threat and positioning, a role that feels like being an impenetrable wall and requiring thoughtful decision-making beyond raw DPS.
Kicking off 2026 with Denethar! - Ep 35
Q: What do you think Blizzard will announce for Classic Plus at BlizzCon, and what would you personally want to see?
He predicts an extension of Classic with new raids at different levels, plus horizontal progression ideas, modernized conveniences, and content that feels grounded rather than strictly retro, while preserving Classic's identity as a standalone journey.
Kicking off 2026 with Denethar! - Ep 35
Q: What is your most proud Warcraft moment?
Denethar highlights the Lady Vashj kill in Burning Crusade as a defining achievement for a top guild, describing the planning, strategy, and emotional release after weeks of hard work, similar to the satisfaction seen in mythic raiding today.
