i liked tanking in mc, its much more challenging than just dps next time i will be better prepared for it though
i previously posted somewhere that im really getting into it as that is whats needed of me for eod dungeon runs....i would not have respecced if not (painful as it was though, and 25g too!)
look forward to doing more, when called upon

Here are more stats in various gear:
highest armor gear str 205 sta 291 agi 118 armor 7726
fire resist gear 193 253 113 7152

I also have +32 defense and 130 fire resist (working on it...) My tanking weapon is currently the Axe of Rin'jin, 1.9 speed. I'll upgrade this soon too. Also rec'd a crusader enchant on my OEB so I wont be totally useless at DPS if needed.
Sigh...farewell dps stats...alas, i did not record those...

Spec how you want.

It is done. Rotten the DPS machine went the way of the Dodo awhile ago.
Rotten the tank is here now. Mostly 'cause its needed by EOD to complete our runs. We are a bit warrior-heavy and our few healers need to feel properly protected.
My stats are not where they should be for a tank but I will get them to proper levels soon. By Zrog's standards a tank should have 6500 sta fully buffed, Im at about 6100. This should soon be rectified after a couple more MC drops and some enchants.

Grats on the new tanking gear! Just curious, overall how are you liking the tanking aspect as opposed to the DPS? Granted you may not be able to kill other players as fast (but then again you could never kill me anyway ) but I think contributing more to the group you are in would be a good feeling. Sometimes I wish I was more than lowly DPS... [5. HGADPS] [Mcguirk]: Ok, rogues in this fight you are going to stab shit that is beating on our tank. [5. HGADPS] [Aphramzo]: Locks, you are going to need to put your curses up (no CoE of course) then starting throwing SBs that the bitch. [5. HGADPS] [Malthorn]: Mages, sit there and bitch about how you suck the whole fight, then complain that you dont get drops for sucking. True story, I have that screen shot too.

honestly, im a little frustrated ive been a dps warrior my whole career and its almost like trying to relearn the class
my key mappings are essential to me but with so many of my talents changed im much slower than i should be pvp just sucks, the lack of dps options drives me nuts...im resorting to just trying to stay alive as a tanking excercise in av, good challenge relearning my role in mc is not frustrating but at times strange; take for example the garr fight: i am tanking for hazel and taunt only 1 mob but all 7 or so target me...poof goes rotten...embarrassing and frustrating, but i think i did it right, its just one of those things
i like tanking the big buys but feel that i may not be the best suited for it mentally...there is dps in my blood and i am trying to rewire my brain to hold mobs, not crush them...

Rotten,
Actually, that was Hazel's fault - she feigned death too early, before the Warlock banishes went off, meaning you got ALL the aggro for being the next person closest to the mobs.
BOOM!
Welcome to the beat-down. Rottenheart = meat pancake.

I had a run in DM East where I was healing (as DeDread), and the tank only knew how to hold aggro on one target. Fortunately, there were 2 mages in the group who liked to tank and knew how to CC, thus meaning that I wasn't the focus of all the mobs that the tank wasn't hitting, though I had to heal and shield the 2 mages a lot. We also had a rogue that would actually run back and pull mobs off me, which impressed me.
So in that case, good group > mediocre tank.

Heh, ran Strat last night (was going for Scarlet, never got there) with Spine's alt as our priest, and a single target tank. Think his name was Allbones, not sure. Nice enough guy, but slow puller, and single target tank only. So, I found myself picking a mob and trying to hold on to it on most pulls. Couldn't go peel off the squishies, as that would drop me fast, but fortunately the shaman did a bit of that.
Still, we wiped, what. . 3, 4 times before even getting to the living part of Strat? And then the instance had repopped completely on us. Some of the guys were saying "well, lets get back to it, start over". I was like F THIS, no way in hell. So I lied and said I had to go, hehe.
I hate single target tanks with a passion. He also didn't use sunder. . even on bosses.
This is why I hate pugs. HATE HATE HATE.
