Everyone will try out the Deathknight class and a good portion of them will stay with it. What this translates to is an over abundance of tanks and a severe shortage of healers.Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944722986881594862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-84979883868811399082008-05-21T19:49:00.000-04:002008-05-21T19:49:00.000-04:00I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with th...I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with that last point about Lake Wintergrasp. When it comes to actions or objectives in any game, there needs to be a reward associated with it. I did Halaa PvP a lot because of 2 reasons: a) My Guildies were doing it and we were having a blast as a PvP guild b) I wanted the resilience gem.<BR/><BR/>The frequency of players engaging in Lake Winterspring is going to depend largely in part on what we as players get out of it.Matticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187814987595415787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-40665210376722620192008-05-21T19:42:00.000-04:002008-05-21T19:42:00.000-04:00Tank Shortage......Myth!As a Tank that does a lot ...Tank Shortage......Myth!<BR/><BR/>As a Tank that does a lot of Public Service Tanking PuGs just because I can this is a Myth. <BR/><BR/>Lots of Tanks don't PuG. Many the other tanks don't have the guts to PuG. Many that try to PuG fail from lack of experience being new Tanks. Some that tried go the easier route and become healers while harboring desires of being a Tank. Many don't want the repair bills and choose to not PuG. Others find a guild and hide inside of it between their guildmates as a safety net so barely ever seen in public on the server tanking. All the other tanks that aren't raiding or on lockdown raiding progression content are too busy doing PvP in different specs for Epics.<BR/><BR/>Tank Shortage .....Myth. Why their are plenty of tanks they JUST AREN'T TANKING!<BR/><BR/>What kind of Nut as a Tank in their right mind does public service PuGing away to benefit their realm while fronting repair bills in Epics?<BR/><BR/>You would have to be a Nut like me to do that. That is a rareity at best. Lots of tanks around just none the Tanks want to Tank and certainly most the time for random people.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-53835686811576355852008-05-21T13:03:00.000-04:002008-05-21T13:03:00.000-04:00Well, you know what guild category I'm from.

Being a smaller guild, we tend to shy away from being tank heavy so that our tanks will have the opportunities to raid. HOWEVER, once 2 of your MTs get busy in RL (with work and family), then your remaining tanks are filling those voids leaving the demands for Heroics and 10 mans short on tanks. <BR/><BR/>World PVP is so whacked. You have to wait hours for towers in Terrorkar and usually one faction controls Halaa for a majority of the time because they outnumber the other on the server. I guess it seems under utilized because of the size of our server.Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944722986881594862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-18587651265540597992008-05-21T12:19:00.000-04:002008-05-21T12:19:00.000-04:00I've noticed the tanking trends you mention.

In Tier 5 the night's plan is just adjusted a bit and things roll on.<BR/><BR/>Lake Wintergrasp seems like a cool idea. Then again, leading into TBC, Halaa seemed like a good idea as well. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, but I'm not really expecting much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
