Casual Meat-Wall Ruud the Lost, for now :D

I think I've about decided to just let my account run up until Wrath is released. My tank was started a couple of months ago (4-18-07, looking at the blog entry), so he is way behind the current state of the game, and it seems impossible to find a starting 25-man guild that is worth a crap right now. It makes sense; any guild with the inclination to run 25 mans and the ability to do so is well beyond Gruul and Mag at this point. And I'm so sick of Kara and Heroics I could die; every guild I find...

DKs' most fundamental disadvantage as tanks?

Ironic that I would start a blog about Death Knight tanks by highlighting what feels like could be their main weakness... and no it's not the lack of a shield.


Death Knights are the only tank class whose ressource system doesn't scale with damage dealt or damage taken.


Particularly damage taken. As a comparison, warriors and druids gain rage directly proportionate to the damage they take and paladins gain mana in a similar way via Spiritual Attunement....

I've decided (a while back now) that I'll be playing a Death Knight as my main toon in WotLK. I will be focused on tanking because it's the role I enjoy the most.

I was not in the Alpha and I do not have a Beta key, so for the moment I'm in the same situation as most of you where I can only learn about DKs via what's on the web. Fortunately there's a lot of information available already, making it possible to at the very least make some educated guesses as to what stats, talents...

WoW Since Gruul

Well, I haven't tanked anything since Gruul. And, you know, that's okay with me for right now. I'm not terribly interested in Kara for the moment, and I think that's what's going down tonight (Thursdays being one of our two guild nights). If there's a ZA run in the works, I'm definitely in, though.

What I have been doing is PvP. On three different toons. This may surprise some people who've known me for a while, as I had absolutely no desire to PvP for the longest time. But for now,...
