Vossa as boomkin
magic on his lolhunter
Verlara feral dps
Garreth at 45% holy light crit :)
Bob tanking everything in sight
Pulled all three of the lobster packs before the boss simultaneously for great justice ;) We didn't give Vossa salv and he didn't die once.
I know him and know he can

Vulk — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 15:12Yup, I used to be prot and i quickly realized that just because you can tank everything doesn't mean you should lol.

I get the humor you're
Shihli — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 14:43I get the humor you're leaving, but to make sure you understand, there *are* mobs that *require* CC to make the raid, y'know, NOT wipe.
yea yea I know, from a raid
Expendable — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 14:38yea yea I know, from a raid perspective CC is good, but you must understand that it goes against paladin tanking nature. Telling us to tank one thing at a time is like taking candy from a baby; it makes us cry!!!!
In the 25-mans, it's not a
Dufe — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 14:05In the 25-mans, it's not a matter of just tanking a cc-pop. Most of the mobs that we cc do a large amount of AOE raid damage, tanked or not. Broken cc's have caused full wipes for this very reason on a number of occasions. Everyone involved just has to learn to do things a little differently and more carefully.
Bob and Grov are gonna get

Since there are a few nights
garreth — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 07:53Since there are a few nights a week when people are actually NOT raiding (few), we really need tanks for those 10- and 5-mans.
Are you that guy that our people can count on to help out for a heroic Shadow Labs or ZA run? Consistently?
The life of a tank is really frustrating. Standing around for a long time shouting "I can tank!" and 20 people on not running anything. Then, BAM, those 20 people need to run an instance and you're getting pulled in eight different directions. Do you have that patience?

Expendable — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 13:42"Luckily I lived thru the sheep concecrates...Dufe will cut u if u break hiz" Bah don't you know the golden rule with a paladin tank:YOU sheep it, YOU tank it
Bob came to SSC and did
Atar — Thu, 04/10/2008 - 04:44Bob came to SSC and did really well. Held aggro really solid. Just a couple of things I'd like for you to keep in mind if you get in guild or run another 25.
1. Watch your consecration. Gotta watch those sheeps. Broken sheeps = people dying.
2. Know the boss strats before getting into raid.
3. Get BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods. Hell, just get WAU and it will make your life sooooo easy.
Ran Heroic Arc, and SSC with
Derchlon — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 23:16Ran Heroic Arc, and SSC with him on Wednesday night, and he did a pretty good job tanking.
One or two bad pulls, but those happen. I give a thumbs up so far.

wothar — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 09:42Bobthemarine is an excellent player. I never forget a great healer. I'm sure he'll be an awsome tank as well

Aidin — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 07:52Give him a good ribbing for me too Dragon! We soooo could have used him on Sat!!
I'm scolding him IRL since
Dragonspear — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 07:51I'm scolding him IRL since he already got himself locked to kara this week.

RAWWWWWWWWWWR pally tanking
Aidin — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 07:48RAWWWWWWWWWWR pally tanking leetness!
One of my tanks may be out
Atar — Wed, 04/09/2008 - 06:59One of my tanks may be out tonight and tomorrow. If he can't make I might have a tanking spot for you for a few days. Sign up for the raids and know your strats for SSC. Have a Fort flask and whatever else you need. Raid starts at 6pm and ends at 9pm. This is your chance to see if you're really interested in Downfall.
I've known Bobthemarine for
Dragonspear — Tue, 04/08/2008 - 15:17I've known Bobthemarine for about 2 years now. We were officers together back in Konflikt before I left and continue to be real life friends to this day. Knows the pally class mechanics extremely well for all 3 trees. I think he would be an excellent addition to our rather minimal tank crew.

We need 10 and 5 man tanks
garreth — Tue, 04/08/2008 - 15:16We need 10 and 5 man tanks bad. I'm seeing a lot of shouts in guild fo tanks that are going unanswered.
