The Debate Over My Return

Posted 05-26-2008 at 12:31 PM by Arideni
So I was in a car accident in 2006. After 7 months of being vulnerable, lying in bed, I began to contemplate the reasons my computer, which had went "blank" two weeks before the accident, was on the fritz. I determined it to be the motherboard & contacted ASUS, a high quality manufacturer of computer components. They repaired the board for free & mailed it back to me from Kentucky (I only paid $10 USD shipping...

People think...(paladin tanking)

Posted 05-26-2008 at 07:26 AM by Nicki
That paladin tanking is like the easiest thing in the world, I mean just spam consecration right?

I ask you take that simplistic narrow minded attitude away and think for a moment how many CCd mobs are there on trash packs making it hard to or impossible to consecrate or how about keeping single target threat as a paladin you literally have to spam everything off cd to even do a decent ammount of threat.

So, for those of you tuning in, the guild that introduced me to kara, etc. and my current progression guild (4/5, 4/9) do a joint raid of SSC or TK (sometimes both) on saturdays. Tonight, we did an SSC night (5 x one shots, two phase 3 vashj wipes) and we had some entertaining highlights.

Sunday night, we'll get 25 people in their best equipment, hand them food, flasks, leadership and advice.

Being a Raid Leader isn't about killing bosses...

...and anyone who tells you it is hasn't done it long enough.

It really has absolutely nothing to do with progression or strats for fights even. It rarely has to do with situational awareness or being able to make the best group composition.

Being able to understand what each individual in your raid goes through and communicate with them effectively. Empathy doesn't mean that...
