"Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory."

Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, penned this epic phrase in the 1600's. It reminds me of the phrase on the Burning Crusade trailer... where Illidan Stormrage declares "You are not prepared!"

As a "casual" tank who has been in the protection business from the UBRS/MC days all the way to tier 6 content now, sites like tankspot have helped me go from being a noob tank OT'ing MC and UBRS to being able to MT bosses in MH and BT.

I've learned a ton from knowledgeable tanks such as Cider, Vene, Satrina and others, and though my RL schedule has prohibited me from getting in on the more "hardcore" side of the raiding community, I am part of an awesome guild that is great at maintaining a "casual" atmosphere while getting in on tier 6 level content.

Hopefully through this blog I'll be able to share some insights from my experiences as a "casual" tier 6 raider.
