It has come to my attention that I have too many blogs… way to many… so many that the little ones like this don’t get the attention they deserve. This then is the death knell for this blog. All posts will be deleted and a few small ones will be carried whole to the new/old site over at altaholics.wordpress.com where I will now post anything game related. Warcraft stuff will still be there, but so will the odd bit of LARPing, fantasy writing, table-top gaming, and maybe even PC gaming.

To anyone who actually read this blog and enjoyed it… fare thee well…

Reaperman out

There are of course downsides to being a Tank, you get whispers from strangers asking you to tank the daily heroic for them before you’re at the right gear level, and invites to 5-mans once you’re wearing epics. If the Healer dies its your fault for not keeping aggro (even if he did reject salvation), when the party wipes its also your fault (even if the hunter did pull more aggro then you and the healer combined and, then decided to feign death before you could retake the aggro). It also takes forever to farm, unless you can AoE a cluster of six or more.

Then there are the feel good moments, when you get up to cook for the mewling beastie in the other chair before it attacks you and chews off your leg, only to return to find a rogue pummelling you. I was AFK and sitting when he attacked, when I got back he was at half health, and I was at three quarters. It only goes to show once again that trying to melee DPS a Tankadin is kin to beating a hedgehog to death with your penis. Its painful, futile, and NEVER a good idea.
