wow on backburner

for 3 weeks while I make some IRL gold.

I did get a tank run in in RFC and it was interesting. Taunt seems to be the primary skill at this level with pugs as I spent most of my time taunting mobs back to me when the dps completely refused to focus fire. We didn't wipe and we made very quick progress tho. I was pleased with the run as altho I felt a little like I was depserately button mashing at times in regards to threat generation and damage, and I def need more practice to get back into a good shield block/revenge timing routine, my awareness of which dps/healer (who wanted to dps) had just pulled someone and quickly taunting them back to me saved us from wiping. Overall challenging and fun, I definitely want to explore tanking more, preferably with a group that has a clue, tho some pug practice has a lot going for it as well.

Immediately afterwards I ran RFC again on my priest healer. While I think a healer may end up being my primary wow character the most remarkable thing about this run was that it made me even happier with my tanking performance. Our tank didnt understand that if he didnt throw up some AoE threat on his secondary mobs they'd attack me the moment I healed him. He also completely failed to take threat back from any mob on me or anyone else, seeing his job more as dpsing his main target. We wiped twice before even getting to Maur Grimtotem and I left.
