The best example of a tank that I hated as a DPS was our MT, who would routinely get bored during instances and do things like see if he could do a lap around a room without drawing aggro. He…couldn’t.

Oh, and just to wet your appetite a bit:

Make sure your sound is on. ;)

In Sidhe Devils, Squirrelz and Doodle are past masters and advocates of the ghetto hearth, and you can find either one of them frequently asking in guild chat for a quick ‘ghetto party’.

I hadn’t tried to on Stinky yet, simply because I think she’s too low level to enter Stockades. And there is always something to do on the other characters…

Are you freaking kidding me?”

Hee hee! You can pull off some truly amazing stuff sometimes as a Lock.

While my Feral Druid is my main and by far my favorite soloing class, I admit I have a weakness for the 2 ‘pet’ based classes as well. They can be as boring as any other to grind but the addition of the pet(s) and the wealth of survival skills just make it a happy free for all when a situation gets out of hand.

I remember once killing Orcs in Hellfire on my Hunter. Single targets until one of those stupid Orcs on a wolf came patrolling by. Then another. Then another. Somewhere along the line another solo mob got into the act as well.

When the dust cleared I had blown all my racials, and cooldowns and rezzed my pet once, but there were 8 dead bodies to loot. Granted, they came into the fray at intervals but at one time I know I saw at least 2 humanoids and 3 wolves active.

I just shook my head in amazement and went back to the grind. So yeah, I like the classes with pets!

“Your”. Not “You’re”. Ick.

I’m going to go stab myself now. With a spoon.

Satyrs will very quickly become you’re favoritest mobs ever.

Well, to each his own, I guess. I actually hated the big blue beetle, so I made it to 60 back in the day by drain-tanking my little tail off. And fear kiting anything I couldn’t drain-tank.

In either case, I highly recommend remaining Affliction for the leveling grind. If you intend to keep on using your Voidwalker, it’s a nice low-threat model for damage dealing. Fel Concentration is an essential talent for the drain-tank style of play, and when all else fails, DoTs don’t break fear the way Shadowbolts will.

You know my innermost thoughts!

It’s really quite frightening. You’re freaking me out, dude.

I DO secretly hunger to torment other tanks as I was tortured for so long….

or…

or maybe….

maybe it’s possible that I was exaggerating slightly, and that the other people who were there, like two other bloggers, would probably post their own feelings about the runs on their blogs?

Or maybe you’re right, and I was a total asshat and wiped the party repeatedly and was totally cavalier about their repair bills.

You’re totally becoming what you hated as a tank.
