Bound the scroll wheel on the mouse (aka middle button) to move backwards. Not being a awsd keyboard turner, I used to struggle moving backwards. It was always awkward to find the down arrow since my left hand rarely leaves the left edge of the keyboard (especially with my G15). One day I did it and within a day I found it natural and second nature. I can easily spam my attacks/shield block while taking the mob/boss on a merry journey, all the while moving backwards.

So if you're...

I'm the primary tank for our raid force. We're currently 3/4, 5/6, 1/5, 1/9 to give you an idea of our progression. Next week is all SSC week with the idea of taking down Vashj. I also act as what I consider to be the assistant raid leader. When I assert myself I have a fair amount of influence, but normally I prefer to do my job and monitor the others as best I can (I focus on tanking and the interaction with the healers, I leave the DPS to the raid leader).

Last night during...

Went to BT last week, pretty cool place. Many of the posts I read talked about how difficult the trash was, but with one exception (the pull AFTER Naj'entus, we sort of underestimated it, have your Pally put on his Nature set), the trash was a yawn (where your Nature gear on the Aqua Lords, tank gear for everything else, bring 4 tanks, we had 2 ferals plus prot war/pally). Naj'entus himself took five tries (one was an enrage) which wasn't spectacular, but seems to be about par for the course for...

Took us five tries (this was our 2nd trip) and two tries last night (first saw us wipe at 5%) which seems to be the norm for us on new bosses that aren't exceptionally difficult (those typically take many many more wipes, looking at Morogrim, Leo, and Al'ar).

On the one hand, I'm happy we got him, on the other, have to wonder what took so long. The entire key to the fight is for the raid to be quick to run to the Infernal tank. Ok, and proper positioning of the healers. That's...

After wiping to him repeatedly on two different nights we went in last night and got him on the third try. The first attempt was our best to date, 13%, he finally enraged after losing four melee really early in the fight (get out of fiery death please) and numerous folks throughout the fight. Second attempt was a comedy of errors (hunter MDing to his pet on the initial pull, losing the Pally ember tank to flame buffets while still in P1). Third fight was very solid. Few deaths all the way through....
