This week in Ulduar 25 we cleared up through Freya with 3 prot warriors including guild firsts on Thorim and Freya.

I'm well aware we are not exactly on the cutting edge in terms of progression but we're proud of how far we've gotten on our limited schedule.

Normally, we run with two warriors and a paladin but our pally couldn't make it this week so we subbed in a solid prot warrior. For me, it was pretty nice to have our original MC/BWL tanks back together for a...

We know our role. We take a beating and keep coming back for more. If we fail, everyone notices. If we don't perform out job, the group will not succeed. We, as tanks, carry a heavy load in terms of responsibility. I am somewhat gratified at how Blizzard has worked to ensure DPS has a greater stake in performing but sometimes it only serves to create more frustration.

I am admittedly, oversensative to critisim. I view myself as an excellent tank and our tanking corps are strong for...

Ok, enough somber, RL stuff.

So....8 bosses and again, only 3 tanking items. The Titanstone Pendant drops every week and its going to offspec people now. Oddly, its the only trash epic I think we've...

This has been a difficult week for me and the future promises to be challenging. My great-uncle passed away on Saturday at the age of 80.

This is something we all go through and I have dealt with the loss of thress grandparents in the last 6 years in addition. The loss of my paternal grandmother was very hard because of my estrangement with my mother. Grandma was like a mother too me and a huge part of my life.

This, however, will have a significant impact on my life...

I'm pretty frustrated with raiding at the moment so I'll talk about PvP instead.

Something sparked the achievement whore in me again and I'm currently chaseing down some PvP achievements. Some are a gimmie for just showing up. Others are random chance...who is getting the same queue as you are?

Dual spec means I can go arms and throw on my nice Naxx DPS gear and tear stuff up.....except......hell, I'd rather go prot. I know, silly, right? No, not really. I'm steadily...
