And that rubbish alt is getting better

Warning long random rambling and speaking to myself on some level

Well, I got off my ass and got a few levels on my warrior lol alt.

Boy learning fast had to do most group quests solo but ive only skipped one.

I did try ms/slam basically even with a slightly higher item to my dual wield set up it isn't as good as prot especially since i couldn't get flurry or sword spec (due to lack of a sword). Nice bursts but the rage required for a good rotation is too high solo.

So prot leveling. It is actually very useful. Last stand has saved me alot as has shield wal..Spell reflect although not protection is very fun.

So tanking, yes well thats why im prot right? right. Ok so ive tanked a few things, I think ive got better compared to when i first started tanking on my warriorlol alt in underbog I pulled about 8 mobs (4 then 2(pat) followed by 2)I managed to hold most of them if not all of them without using challenging shout (was on cooldown) also had no blood rage.

Not to mention the fact that {SKULL} the only target i mark always dies last in these pugs!

So i feel pretty hot shot about being somewhat capable of pulling off a bad pull.Though I reckon that i will have a down period at 70 as atm I have a ton of hit, socketed and on gear. It makes a huge difference though and its not as if i need more stam in my tanking gear at this level.

VS paladin tanking

I feel i have much more control in general, I can use last stand when im low, I can interupt spells and even reflect them on trash and i can stun if needed. True multiple mob tanking is quite a bit harder and i doubt you could AoE mobs that i was tanking but im able to keep them off the healer with a little bit of effort. Indeed that idea of threat points having a number over the V nameplate would be ever ever so useful.

I like warrior tanking, its alot of fun but will remain a side hobby for now since sunwell raiding is so demanding.

Still its going good, got alot to learn and alot to practice. using the right abillity at the right time is still a fine art im missing for instance ill often miss a revenge by mistake and habit of spamming devastate though the longer a fight the easier it is to get into ss->rev->devx2..

But its definately a blast and sooo much easier to not be the ooom tank (had a group with a tankadin while ms specced and he was oom after every pull, had i not had my exp of being a tankadin and seeing better tankadins before. Id have never ever suggested them ever.).

Its good to have rage and fun mostly ^_^ eventhough the pugs are trying!!
