Hello, a very brief intro about how I got into the game.

I'm in my 20s, female, Asian American and a New Yorker. I was a non-gamer before my ex-boyfriend introduced me to WoW, mostly to wean me off begging for sex while he was immersed in the beta of WoW. One night, he asked me if I would fish for him in Darnassus. Four hours of fishing and I was hooked. He got me my own account after I explicitly told him no. Oh well, he's still paying for it now. Recently he told me how...

My time as a tree-hugging hippie druid has been enjoyable and I've become a pretty good healer in a tier 5 raiding guild but as I'm sure most of you know, I came up as a tank.

Well into TBC I played a tank warrior and me and my beloved Thunderfury had many great adventures. But for the last 5 months I have been raiding as a resto druid while my tank sips at his drink in the ducky, manky tavern in Lower City.

At this point, I know my talents are a mess. I took some bad advice,...

Lately I've been running some 5mans with some of my core friends that have been leveling new characters to 70. It wasn't long ago that I completely dreaded the idea of tanking a normal 5man, knowing the fact that if theres any competent dps player they are gonna rip agro from me right away since I'm going to be rage starved wearing T5 gear with about 50+% avoidance. I took this as an opportunity to challenge myself.

I started by optimizing my gear. In reality with a solid healer,...
