    Grrrr, wtb more rage.

    Pallidans dont have this problem, but building up intitial threat on a boss can be a real pain if you dodge and parry the first few hits.

    Its lame, it sucks, and blizzard is fixing it. I hope. If the change that is to be implemented that enables us to recieve rage through dodges/ blocks / parrys is implemented, Im going to be one very happy warrior indeed.

    Anyway, on to more pressing matters. Judging that rend should be in my current rotation a few weeks back, I have noticed that a lot of other warriors arn't using it. For reasons unknown to me.

    Rend is possibly one of the most useful moves during a single target encounter, as it is garrunteed to do a certain amount of damage. Obviously, when shield slam is up or revenge, your going to use those. But when shock wave/ conc blow / every other move modified by your stats is down, Rend is the way to go why you wait for them to pop back up. It adds at least an extra 150 dps when applied regulary.

    Same goes for Deep wounds, instead of dropping your points into cruelty, how about you go and drop some in Impale and deep wounds. It will boost the damage you do on your critical hits, and of course, add more single target dps, while significantly boosting your AoE threat.

    Its a win win in my opinion, tell me what you think :D.

    The life of a Tank.

    Well, hello there. I assume that your reading this because either

    A) Your bored and hopped on to look at random news and addons and happened to randomly click this blog. or,

    B) You like reading gaming blogs on curse.

     

    Mmmmmk.

     

    Every now and then I will add updates to my blog, so if you actually happen to like reading these, check in every so often, now lets get.... blogging?

     

    My character that I play full time is a young (though I supose 2 years in RL is 57 years in WoW time) Male dwarf, who goes by the name of Golnan.

    After leveling to the heighty heights of lv 80, spending 4k Gold on crafted epics / enchants and gems. I began raiding the next day with a guild I had been in for well over a month. Needless to say, I was promptly kicked the next week after winning a roll on T7 leggings, and then telling the GM off for giving me **** about pulling aggro off the main tank. I am now known as a ninja to some on my realm (Dath'remar...Pay me a visit ^^).

     

    Moving on to another guild, Outsider PO, was great, had fun, got loot, Guild Disbanded and I was left out in the cold, cold, world of warcraft. Which sucked *** because I, a fairly well geared tank, couldnt even find a guild to raid with.

    Of course, I, Bounced around from guild to guild till I found the right one, which I just joined today, Xcellence, of Dath'remar (Visit meh :D)

     

    Well thats it for this Blog, hope you liked it, post comments on what I should write for the next blog (tanking tips?), and dont point out ****ing spelling mistakes please :P.
