The Shaman of the Forge: Softrock Lighthammer
Beside the roaring fires of the Great Forge, dwarf shaman Softrock Lighthammer discusses open-world PvP dread in Silverpine, Shaman tanking with Alchemy, and hopes for a future Tinker class.
The roaring flames of the Great Forge cast long, dancing shadows across the iron grates of Khaz Modan. Standing near the edge of the molten canals, clad in chainmail and carrying the totemic blessings of the earth, was Softrock Lighthammer—a level 20 dwarf shaman of the guild <AMadness>.
With elemental winds howling in the dwarven depths, Softrock took a breather to share his perspectives on open-world PvP survival, the road of the Shaman tank, and wild dreams for future expansions... before concluding the encounter in unforgettable dwarven fashion.

Barnaby Ironpress: "Which zone are you most afraid of in world PvP for WoW Forever?"
Softrock Lighthammer: "Hmm that would be Silverpine."
⚔️ Question 2: What Professions Are You Planning to Play and Why?
Barnaby Ironpress: "What professions are you planning to play and why?"

⚔️ A Scribe's Closing Word
A hearty dwarven thank you to Softrock Lighthammer for sharing his bold visions for Shaman tanking, Silverpine dread, and the Tinker class with the realm!
(Editor's Note: Immediately following the final question, Softrock turned around and boldly leaped directly into the roaring molten lava of the Ironforge canal to his swift demise... for reasons known only to the earth elements.)
