    Hate: Lack on tanks on my server. It's ridiculous that you can find 3 dps and a healer in all of 30 seconds, then spend an hour looking for a tank. It's even worse when you take a look in the LFG and see 5 warriors and 4 DKs all wanting to DPS D:

    Well when I look for groups on my warrior it's always the reverse finding a healer or dps

    Happy: Anub'Arak 10 (cowardly) down in one shot!
    Happier: The tanking shield dropped which was immediately MLed to our prot warrior. This made everyone happy you see, because he'd been tanking with this since his account got hacked in May.

    He was already one of the best geared prot warriors on our server despite that ankle weight.

    Happy: Our other 10-man took him down a couple hours later, though with a couple of PUGs. One of whom was a tank that wants to join the guild though, so we have about 18 people who can do Heroic now.

    Hope: One of our dudes had to leave, but we took a couple stabs at beasts hardmode just to see what we were dealing with. Thanks to timing info I got from the threads here, tanks had no problems with impales, we just didn't quite have the dps to down Gormok before the worms came out. Hopefully, with an extra dps so we aren't 9-manning it, we should be able to cover that last 500k hp.

    Annoyed: Missed our Realmfirst Algalon 25 kill due to my shitty connection not being able to handle the fight on a sunday evening. I don't mind that much because I'm not online outside raids really and don't care about achievements, but with this I still don't have a single even remotely hard to get title. Missed every single 10-player title because I'm not the go-to ret for our good 10-man group (I've never even seen Vezax/Yogg on 10-man), missed Immortal as a guild because of MC + frostbolt volley instagib on KT, missed Algalon now...not sure I'll ever get a good title. Also missed every single Glory of the Ulduar raider guildrun due to my connection since they're done on fridays or saturdays.

    Blizzard's built in stuff? Or maybe Omen, I think it used to do that before I set it to screen flash only.

    Yep, it was something somewhere in Xperl, either raid monitor, helper or admin... I just disabled them since I cant find an actual setting.

    Like yes, I hope I do have AGGRO since I'm tanking, unfortunately you're telling me exactly in the spot where I need to see.

    Also my friends are dicks and are doing everything in their power to pull stuff off of me.

I know you are because it's tank or walk. You tank or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ? And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!!

    Well, sometimes you have the problem of, let's say, a warlock pulls aggro, and the boss runs to smack them, and they shatter, but the other ranged DPS who were above your threat but below 130% happen to now be in melee with the angry boss, through no fault of their own... Then it is nice to taunt if you can.

    Which is why you're watching the target's target frame. If it switches from warlock X to warlock Y then taunt. If it switches to a healer, taunt. If it switches to a rogue then don't worry the rogue will be dead before the taunt gets off so why bother?

    Not for the groups that just finished him, and I'm the only other person there. I regularly play 1 AM server time or later, so having a queue of people isn't a huge issue.

    Then it becomes a game of timing your taunt so that the warlock dies and the mob is taunted back to you

    if the warlock dies and no one else dies, you win.

    if the warlock dies and two or three mages die, you still win.

    So I get into this pug for normal ToC. The 'tank''s health is kinda low so I check out his gear. I figure if he's good and the healer is good then it's no big deal but he's wearing a mixture defense plus resilience plus dps gear(mostly the latter two). It makes no sense for him to be tanking when the pally healer has 8k more health than he does in her tanking gear. One of the clothies had crap for health and was just asking to be 2-shotted.

    I don't usually drop out of groups but I was so not in the mood for that.

    Also, I got a my tier chest with emblems for ret.

    Hate: My DPS still seems kinda bad. I'm not sure if it's a rotation thing or if it has to do with fights where I get knocked out of range or if I need more of a certain stat I don't have on my gear.
