If I don't see that Boomkin again for a while, that'll be very pleasant; I don't think it ever occurred to him that he was causing all sorts of problems. It was a three way massive fail with plenty of blame to go around, and the Mage and I were caught in the middle. <br /><br />Sure beat the Drak'Tharon run at the beginning of the morning where the Healer's keyboard stopped working in the middle of Trollgore.<br /><br /><i>Tanking is an interesting thing to tackle.

It's cool to see that you're picking up on the some of the save moves you can do to help support the group.<br /><br />Tanking is an interesting thing to tackle. For instance in last night's 25 man raid,we were fighting Lord Marrowgar. This fight requires 3 tanks. He does an aoe frontal cleave that splits damage between everybody in front of him, hence the three tanks. He hits HARD. Myself and our other guild tank took the hits pretty well, but the third tank dropped like a wet sack of potatoes.<br /><br />In the raiding environment, everybody has to be on the top of their game. In this case, a healer can spam heals all they want, if your gear level is not up to snuff, you'll just drop. Not much you can do about it, except get better gear.<br /><br />As a side note, I made it up to 52k HP fully raid buffed last night. /flexDeftighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404189161333779934noreply@blogger.com
