Firestorm Classes
These classes are based on our official Firestorm release and are conducted in voice and text except when otherwise noted. There's no need to talk, but you may want to be able to hear.
We also usually have help available to answer questions in text. This schedule is subject to change.
Note that it is best if you are on Firestorm for the classes.
Locations are indicated in the far right column as follows:
