I'M ABOUT TO RUN BASTION OF TWILIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME YES YES YESSSS

Did you lie? I was asked if I ran it before, and said no, and got removed... did you say yes?

[xRECKONERx]

Yes, I lied.
It took us 2.5 hours to down Halfus, at which point I was like "Headache. Tired. Stressed out. Going to a bar. Peace."

Wouldn't be surprised to login tomorrow and find myself booted.

Hehe

tbh my warrior is prot (the tanking tree) and I never looked back. She's lvl 64 right now and her dps is as high as anyone else's, plus she never dies when questing. Fury warriors (the main dps tree) were really hot in WotLK but its too early to see if they'll be as good in Cata.

I have had people tell me to dps before as a warrior though - the warriortankitis as you so put it dissipated an expansion or two ago

For reference, I have tanked and only tanked from Day one of my play on vanilla WoW. There was a spell of DPSing of about a week, but it was so tedious and unfun that it doesn't count.

So onto my points: Prot warriors are great, they're a lot of fun, but they are no longer the primary tank of choice. Thanks to Blizzard fixing pallys (and then over-fixing them) Paladin tanks (tankadin, if you will) are so excellent that they're become primary. Then Blood DKs became awesome, so now it's leveling off. All of the tanks bring different things now, and it's very very rare to see "Lawl, warrior DPS. Learn to roll a rogue" as you used to. Nowadays fury warriors can do hefty DPS, and it's often the Retribution (DPS) paladins - "retadins" - that get laughed at.

Warriors are a blast, I'd recommend them. Not to mention they really do cover the whole "valiant hero" feeling. Nothing beats the feeling of being smashed by a boss and watching your health bar rise with the heals. For someone like me, it's a great feeling, the protector and all that.

More than just damage, look at utility too. Hunters have the ability to trap. As a tank, I find that invaluable. Silencing shot rocks too. Utility is greater than DPS for almost all fights.

bought and installing now!

[dramonic]

Woot woot!

[Flameaxe]

Trial activated, addons updated (seriously, that was a pain in the ass), character created. Redue, Druid.

[dramonic]

RealID please?
(That means email address for us to add you in the game as a frieeeeeeeeeend)

[Flameaxe]

I play starcraft, I know what a RealID is. ryguy1391@gmail.com

[Nikanor]

I have an 85 Warlock on Lightning...
hoof.
I don't play often enough to level an alt, though. :\

[JDodge]

realID is auralhallucination@gmail.com

going to roll a hunter as soon as i get the time to start out

[IH]

Do we already have a guild on lightnings blade? If anyone wants to add me I think my pally's name is biliusnius

Prolly gonna log on in the next few hours

[Nikanor]

Actually I think I might have a pally on Lightningblade if that's the server that sykedoc is on. I'll check later.

[xRECKONERx]

We HAVE a guild on LB that me/dram/Brock setup a little while ago, but currently we have nobody in it because everyone wants the guild leveling buffs.

[Nikanor]

It's only like 10% though. >_>

[Flameaxe]

Yeah, we might be at a point where we could get there in our own guild anyway.

[Nikanor]

My realID is jensisbald@hotmail.com, btw. I'm online right now if anyone wants to friend me!

[xRECKONERx]

I suppose we COULD just make a new Mafiascum guild...but that'd mean finding raids would be a bitch.

[AGar]

Warriors can DPS too, not just tank. DPS warriors are dual wielders IIRC.

But they are subject to WARRIORS ARE TANKS ALWAYS-itis quite a bit from what I've heard.

My main is an Arms/Prot warrior, and I never run into this at all. Honestly, people rarely care I've found - the people who stress out about "OMG MAX/MIN" etc etc don't do random groups and only run with guildies.

[InflatablePie]

OMG NIKANOR

HI

ROLL SOMETHING ON LB WITH US

ALSO WE NEED MORE REALIDS

I'LL ADD EVERYONE LATER

---

Now that that's out of my system, do we have an Alchemist that has at least a skill of 60? I need a small favor. Kinda want a stack of Swiftness Potions. I'll provide the mats (20 vials/Briarthorn/Swiftthistle) if you could make them for me. I'll even tip 5g for the assistance.

I could ask on tradechat, but I figured I'd ask here first.

If anyone has the skill but needs the recipe, I'll buy it for you in lieu of the tip.

[crywolf20084]

we also need people to set up vent and keep me entertained.

Just as an FYI i rolled a priest as my lock was pissing me off. I'll prolly duel spec in shadow/holy like i did on skullcrusher.

[xRECKONERx]

that makes...three priests -_-

me, dram, and brock all have priests on LB already XD

[Nikanor]

OMG INFLATABLEPIE

[dramonic]

I'm the only one going discipline though.
