Comment on Tank Envy: Take Your Beating and LIKE IT! by cybac

Hey Star,

Love tanks who work well together but what about tanks who seem to think they dont need their OT buddy? One’s that suddenly think they can tank the whole raid just because they got a few new pieces of gear and that they are good at their job? How would you deal with a bit of Tankage Ego?

Bah! The time is there for you, you’re just using it for silly things like SLEEPING!
More seriously though, I wish you well whatever path you choose man. You’ve been a good friend, and a wonderful teacher. Of course if you quit writing, perhaps maybe some of your readers will come over and listen to me babble, but I usually quite enjoy your work, and frankly, you usually make a whole lot more sense than I do!

My apologies. I did not intend to reply to you directly, but to the thread in general. As a guild and raid leader I try to lead by example, and to me that means showing up as prepared for every raid as I possibly can be. In the current iteration of WoW, this does include farming heroics for emblem upgrades. Farming content I’ve done hundreds of times before for me is a neccesary evil, one that we try to make more interesting by upping the difficulty (IE speed pulling and mass pulling).

I understand this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and certainly respect that.

When I said “we all need” I was referring more to my guild and layers than the WoW comunity as a whole.

Again, my apologies for the confusion.

I think the rogue thing worked because the is a brief period of immunity that the spell runs into. I do not think feign death would work. DI might, but if you mistime it, you kill a pally for no good reason.

Where you see a need, I see a want; a want I do not share. Speed runs? Been there done that, I don’t derive any enjoyment from such runs,

I will get the emblems in raids. It will take much longer than running a random heroic a day but the upside is it will allow me time to level a new toon to join the raid Ulduar in blue group.

And for clarity. I believe your goals and wants are neither better nor worse than mine. I did take exception to the “we all need Frost tokens” argument and thus my response.

I’ll be honest, I like moving quickly when tanking, but I’m not trying to break land-speed records or anything.
I keep moving, but I also try and make sure that my group is keeping up reasonably well. (Kinda have to as a warrior really, since we don’t have much in the way of self-healing, and our DPS is probably weaker than any other tanking class) That said, I’ll usually grab a pat that I see coming questionably close, or anything like that.
Would I like to push through at break-neck speeds? Yeah, sorta, but not with random people, I’d need dependable people, not the mixed bag that I get through the LFD tool. Honestly, while it’s not practical right now with everyone grinding badges, I’m more in the mood to try and find a healer that’s slightly off their rocker and see just how many heroics we could 2-man!
