Casual Tank: Mad props for the OT!
http://casualtank.blogspot.com/2009/04/mad-props-for-ot.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. Mad props for the OT! There is a certain pride with being the Main Tank of a guild or even a pugged raid - rightly so. The Main Tank is an esteemed position of leadership, solidarity, strength, and skill. It is a job that takes a steady mind, quick reflexes, and confidence. Often that confidence spills over into the egotistical. Please note that I am not inferring that all MT's are egomaniacs. I am saying that the role of OT deserves much more respect that it gets. Up enough and ...

Casual Tank: December 2008
http://casualtank.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Some months before Wrath was released, I started to get the tanking bug again. I think it was when I stumbled across tankspot.com and tankingtips.com. I used the guide that Veneratio put together about gear to aim for when newly reaching 70. Billy had a goal. Billy had a purpose. Billy was starting to get a bit interesting to play. I still preferred my mage, but that all changed with the release of Patch 3.0 "Echoes of Doom." HOLY CRAP! Prot warriors suddenly were super fun!

Casual Tank: April 2009
http://casualtank.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Soy NOOB, y Tú? Patch 3.1 LIVE! For once I considered myself lucky to have been required to work late. It gave me the chance to avoid the patch day drama. I'm not one to qq about the inability to log in.um, yeah I am, but I try not to. This choice was much easier when playing wasn't an option anyway. I could qq about the instance servers being down most of the night, but it took me at least that long to respec/dual spec, and I still screwed it up. PS, I'd post my fury spec, but...

Casual Tank: I've Had An Epiphany
http://casualtank.blogspot.com/2009/04/ive-had-epiphany.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. I've Had An Epiphany. I took a few days off of playing WoW this week in an attempt to improve the balance between the different areas of my life. The third night had me jonesin' big time. I logged onto Billy and was chatting with some friends. They were doing regular Halls of Lightning to go for the tanking trinket off of Loken. It was going badly, and a dps dropped group. I got an invite to come dps. Then people had to go to bed, so I started working on my level 72 DK. Anot...

Casual Tank: I may be immature, but you’re a huntard.
http://casualtank.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-may-be-immature-but-youre-huntard.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. I may be immature, but you’re a huntard. At times I am brash and react to situations while under the effects of strong emotion. The result oft provides me with great amusement, however, frequently under self scrutiny my hot-tempered moments prove to be a source of regret. I had an experience last night that had me quite agitated. I responded maliciously. I somewhat feel sorry for doing so, but a laugh continues to slip from my mouth whenever I recall my vindictive act. My friend, ...
