An attempt at a hopeful tanking blog, as written by a warrior tank who is just starting the path to Ulduar, with looks into the past, into the present, and plans for the future, as a place those who are walking the same path can go to learn from the experiences of someone who came before them, and can inspire them to get through those all important levels that are so tough to get through alone.

Raiding finally

Posted 08-02-2009 at 09:50 AM by Karisita (When I was young...)

Okay so I grabbed me some gear, got myself pimped out, my regular group's MT decided he likes his mage better, and while his tank may have outgeared me (full T7.5) his wife's pally tank was significantly under me. Ergo, I became MT. I'm still not raid leading, but it's a start... and in a few weeks, I will be RL of my very own naxx 10. Sure I'll have to pug like 6 or 7 positions. Sure we may not clear Maexxna, but we'll use it to grow our guild. We'll keep the best out of them, and toss the rest...

Naxx-10

Posted 07-03-2009 at 10:01 AM by Karisita (When I was young...)

Okay so I finally got into tanking in Naxxramas, I'm OT which isn't quite what I was imagining, but BOHICA is taking the lead on these runs and we're being invited as the partnered guild. So I'm neither MT or RL, but in a way, that makes things easier, I get told what to do, and I do it. When we wipe, it isn't my fault.

So we steam rolled through the Arachnid quarter, one shotting Anub'rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna. Then we went to the Abomination quarter, we one shotted...

Gearing blues

Posted 06-07-2009 at 10:15 PM by Karisita (When I was young...)

So gearing is slowing down, I've been beating my head against Heroic UK and heroic Nexus for the last week or so, and I've got some decent stats, but we've had problems. Plus the purchasing of gear has left me bereft of money. Seriously, and 80, with 9g? REALLY?

And I am just having so much trouble convincing myself to get on and run those dalies to get the money to pay back for my guild repair loans, It's just... on my Mage, I spent MONTHS doing dalies... trying to grind gold to get...

GL vs RL

Posted 05-28-2009 at 04:10 PM by Karisita (When I was young...)

So what happens when the raid leader and the guild leader disagree? I didn't know what to do when this happened last night, we were training a new guy on raid ins and outs and policies by taking him through an instance acting as though it were a raid. And the GL kept quiet through most of the instance.

Now I'll be the first to admit, that the rogue was getting on my nerves, the rogue was not the new guy.. he was the experienced raider that was setting the example, by arguing with everything...

Guild Woes

Posted 05-25-2009 at 08:44 AM by Karisita (When I was young...)

Yes I'm a couple days late. The weekend was a long one, so I had to get my enjoyment in while I could. It's been rough too, but I'll live.

My guild is starting to suffer a bit, I mean it's not my guild - not at the moment, but my fiancee is growing increasingly frustrated. She was recruiting member after member after member before, and yeah, some of 'em didn't come back, but we wound up kicking them after three months of not being online once. But she's charismatic that way. She pulls...
