"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.

Same Old ZA

Eagle in two, Bear in one, Lynx in two. No timed events. And there's nothing wrong with that, considering we had two people who were new to the instance.

Unfortunately, we got a late start last night. We knew we'd be waiting on healers; They let us know in advance that they wouldn't be able to make it until 8:00 (as opposed to the normal 7:30). It turned out that we didn't actually get started until 8:20 or 8:30. So, we didn't have much time.

We headed to Eagle first, pushing...

Update, and ZA This Week!

Well, I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to not really tanking anything. My guild's still talking about getting back into Gruul's, and doing Mag's. We're trying to get dates together and such. We might be doing Gruul again on the 18th (seems to be a good date for most people), while Mag, I think will be in September sometime (maybe the 21st).

In more up-and-coming news, we're doing ZA this week! I'm definitely voting for more attempts at Dragonhawk. I think we can take him this...

Gruul: A Deeper Look

First off, I'd like to apologize for spamming the recent posts. I really just wanted you guys to feel the excitement as I was feeling it, but I get the feeling that some of you just considered it spam. It was just Gruul, after all.

Anyway. This will be a deeper, more critical look at guild performance, and more specifically, my performance as the main tank on HKM and Gruul.

First off, the oddities of the group: We had four PuGgers (all DPS - a shaman, a warlock, and two...

Gruul Down!

Posted 07-20-2008 at 01:56 PM by Thireas (Protcore!)

High King Maulgar: 4 tries
Gruul: 4 tries

We had some trouble on the HKM pull (go figure, our first time in). But once we got it, we were solid. We're generally very good at burning stuff down, and that helped a lot. There were a few people who were undergeared, but the overgearedness of other people made up for it.

Our first Gruul pull, we got him to 20%. Second pull, not so much... somebody accidentally pulled. Third pull, around 20%. Fourth pull, we got him with...

I'm currently on a pimped-out Mac. 24 inch screen. Awesome graphics. It's... amazing. I'll have no problem with addons or lag or anything.

I have all my potions, I have my gear repaired, and I'm flying up to BEM right now.

Qadash got his [item]The Blade of Harbingers[/item] this morning, due to a lucky SSO daily quest giving him one more badge. He also got his [item]Libram of Avengement[/item] last night in our BFFB (Blood Furnace First Boss) run. (I've actually learned...
