I haven't tanked much since the patch. I'm just getting that out there. About the only thing I've tanked is the Headless Horseman, which, as we all know, is a cinch. But it still gives some insight on tanking rotation. I'm going to assume you have Sword and Board. It's a no-brainer, and if you don't have it, you should get it. Honestly, not much has changed, and a lot of people will find this to be a pretty useless post, but without further ado, here's the GCD rotation.

1. If Shield...

So, I apparently got better. But not enough.

This number, as well as my previous "Sixty-Seven", was, in fact, the number of times I was crushed. Grats to Turkson for guessing correctly.

Admittedly, some of this week'd crushes come from my attempts at using a macro to hit Shield Block whenever I hit Shield Slam. This didn't work out so well... it felt like there was a delay, for some reason, and that was just bad. But that was also only one attempt on Dragonhawk....

I checked my WWS for last week's ZA run, and let's just say it wasn't pretty. My rotation was WAY off, and the number in the title of this post was a particularly bad number. I really can't even say what it represents, it's so embarrassing. I'll just let you guess.

Yes, this is a terrible post. No, I don't care.

... because I haven't been tanking. Altaholism has taken hold, and I've been playing my Shaman, Iaria almost exclusively. In fact, the only times I've logged into Thireas in the past week were to do dailies (starting the fund for Iaria's epic mount), and to farm Scarlet Monastery for [item]Scarlet Chestpiece[/item].

Otherwise, I've been leveling the shammy and doing battlegrounds to get some nice mail gear. And the WSG epic leather bracers, because they're better than the mail ones....

First off, a definition. BFFB stands for Blood Furnace First Boss, but it's also something of an interesting experiment in instancing style, and part of Qadash's gearing up process. It started of as this particular ret pally asking people if they wanted to do Blood Furnace. But who really wants to do Blood Furnace? The event before the second boss is terrible, and nobody really wants to do it if they don't have to. All he needed, though, was the [item]Libram of Avengement[/item] from the first boss....
