Tanks at heart

Posted 07-09-2009 at 11:01 PM by twelveshots

I don't know if anyone else has been in this situation, but I was in a raiding guild, a pretty good one, but was playing a role i had no desire to play. They cleared up to yogg in 25 man uld on their 2nd week in 25 mans, I was a moonkin. I have had no enjoyment out of playing the class yet. I figured once I got geared and played it more it would kind of grow on me, which wasn't the case. I gave it time before I finally sort of just snapped and gave up on it to go back to doing what I love, tanking....

What Busts My Balls: Part III

Posted 07-09-2009 at 05:02 PM by Insom

So, I consider myself a fairly hardcore wow player. I have one main, and he has 30 days logged at 80. However, I cant maintain a regular raid schedule, and this really bothers me. Its not that I cant play a lot due to real life, but there are some weeks where I cant play at all. Usually I'll miss Tuesday-Friday every other week or so. (As to why, I'm a web developer and sometimes I'm required to go to headquarters to "sync" in.)
On the weeks when I'm around to raid my guild...

I miss tanking

Posted 07-09-2009 at 10:33 AM by Nicki

Like the title says...

I honestly miss tanking but I don't want to feel like some spare socket or the wrench that is used for b sized nails. I guess my fears on my paladin of ending up like this on the tanking route aren't terribly well founded.

They exist though and partly because bad "warriors" have complicated ideals.

I got quite annoyed today on a vent conversation; The argument was Warriors should be the best main tanks, P*****s should...

Long pauses are bad.

Week #4, Ulduar 10.

FL hard mode is always a 2-shot. Most of the time is just bad luck. But recipie dropped and we tanks are happy with new belt.

X-002 is a joke now that we have pinpointed the position where to tank it and no adds spawn from that side. We will start working on hard mode.

Razorscale is becoming easy as we go. We have had a string of "no sentinel" encounters which makes the whole thing trivial. Bring AoE for EZ mode. Don't think...

Introducing Ulduar hardmodes

Posted 07-09-2009 at 01:50 AM by Shortypop

Last night was our usual quiet Wednesday off-night but our MT had organised a night of "wipes and hardmodes" -- his words not mine, which I had signed up for. Although wearing some Ulduar25man gear we do overgear Ulduar 10man the somewhat weird group composition of 1 holy pally, 1 tree, 1 mage, 1 ele shammy, 1 rogue, 2 locks and 3 warriors (2 tanks, 1 dps) probably counteracted that to some degree.

A week (or maybe two) ago a similar group had done FL+2, XT hard and Kolog...
