"How can you be a protection warrior at level one?" I hear you all asking. It's a matter of heart. Of drive. Of the mentality of a protection warrior.

Leveling from 1-70 while protection specced was a pain, but it allowed me to practice my tanking skills on the way to 70. I tanked everything from VC to Gnomer to BRD, on up through all of the Burning Crusade instances as I leveled through them. And now I find myself the warrior tank in my small guild of friends who is the best geared, and is one of the go-to guys when we do our ZA attempts.

Being prot at heart has its advantages.

I haven't posted in a couple days, so I figured I'd post something.

Due to having nothing better to do, really, I started creating a prot grinding set. I got the [item]Petrified Lichen Guard[/item], which I'll get a [item]Felsteel Shield Spike[/item] for. I'll probably start doing dailies again to fund an effort for [item]Darkmoon Card: Vengeance[/item].

The only problem is a weapon. If I could get it, I'd love to have [item]Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker[/item],...

Once again, I find myself PvPing for tanking gear. My [item]Gladiator's Plate Shoulders[/item] will be replaced with [item]Merciless Gladiator's Plate Shoulders[/item] in approximately 8k honor and 22 AB marks.

It's not terribly much of an upgrade, but I figured "Why not?" Then I thought to myself "Hey, I could re-gem my S1 shoulders to actually be DPS shoulders." And then I further pondered "Hey, my DPS set has some blues that could be filled in with S2 gear,...

Veneretio is Right, and new old gear

I just finished a pretty quick Heroic Mech run, during which we only wiped once (due to an ill-timed sleep on yours truly). It had been a while since I'd actually tanked anything, due to the fact that I've been working evenings. Apparently the game wants me to continue to neglect sleep, because my Sun Eater dropped. I'm not terribly sure I'll use it (much), because I currently have Quickening Blade of the Prince. I don't currently have a distinct survival set and threat set, but this may be the...
