I haven't looked at Wowheroes in months

One of my buddies was talking about his toon and how some of his upgrades were hard to come by and he had been looking at Wowheroes to see where he needed to go and I realised I had not been there in months. I used to go there all the time, updating my large army of alts, and all the of level toons in the guild, planning out where to grind for certain pieces of gear, it all seems like another life. I am glad that it is there and I am glad my friend is using it to help him out and I'm sure one day when I look at my gear and go why do I have that crappy bracer where can I get a better one I will one day visit there as well, but until then I am really just enjoying the uber-casual climb up the ranks. I am having fun and the Effers are a blast to hang out with. That is all, K Out!

Getting in that comfort zone

When I'm tanking I have different mindsets depending on what I'm tanking. I am also a bit of a perfectionist so if I screw up a pull or somebody dies on my watch I can get a bit frustrated. Tanking in a raid is different from tanking a heroic. When I am raid tanking I am prepared for wipes and dieing and frustration and repair bills, I expect these things and try to keep an even keel and come back from every wipe focused and ready to kill the boss. On the other hand I sometimes get a little lackadaisical in heroics because I've "been there, done that" and I don't really need anything from them. Now that's not to say I don't enjoy blowing through one once and a while, and I am always willing to run if some of our guildies need to go. Now last night we ran a couple heroics and I was finally in my zone where I felt comfortable and just rolled through ready to blow stuff up. It may have helped that we did CoS first as I really like that one because the timer is there to keep me on the ball and focused. I made a point to learn how to destroy that place with my old guild and was able to get everyone in our guild a Bronze Drake. It was something I really wanted to help them accomplish and was glad to do it. It doesn't hurt that the place is full of undead and as a pally I am well equipped to handle the undead. We destroyed the Nexus after that too. I had a lot of fun even though we didn't get to raid and I can always get some more Boa gear for my new army of alts because its a little to expensive to transfer all my toons to the new server and I really do like leveling. I got my new hunter to 12 last night before we started the heroics up. Leveling is so much more fun than dailies

Prequel Post on trinkets

I am working on a post on tanking trinkets. So far I have setup a wowhead comparison on all the tanking trinkets I could think of.

Trinket Comparison

I am planning some analysis, we'll see how far I get ;)
