After seeing a few posts and based on my own experience I have decided to share some kernels of wisdom with the paladin community. Mainly some of the pitfalls of “switching” roles, becoming the “MT”, and finally the conflict between “tanks”; and all of these are admittedly semi related. (more…)
I think there comes a time and a place to put thing in perspective and realize that the tankadin community is a legitimate and viable way to play and is effective in raids. I know probably at the launch of Burning Crusade in January, that we were at best a novelty but now with so much time and experience easily available to so many tanking paladins, I just don’t get the excitement I used to out of seeing someone clear Shattered Halls or Mechanar for the first time at 70.

It has been awhile since I posted anything worthwhile. I have been to Blizzcon, got to play the new expansion for World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King. It looks very good and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
<Taurential Reign> is plodding right along, our numbers are swelling and I am hoping to get enough to maybe make forays into the 25-man content soon. I am still tanking, though no new upgrades in a long time besides my epic flying mount; already Honored on my way towards my Netherdrake. I got to have a flying dragon.
Other then that I hope to pickup new bracers and a chest piece one day and then I will complete as far as Karazhan is concerned. I might even drop mining and get Engineering to get the Tankatronic headpiece… maybe.
If you are a tankadin or interested in learning more about the masochistic world of paladins tanking high end content, visit the Maintankadin forums. Just don’t be a dumbass. I have a low tolerance for bullshit…
