Hoy, :)

So today is LX day, and I find myself with twenty five dungeon and raid quests in my quest log, with no way to get, you now, moar kwezts. Needz moar kwezts. Thus, I want to do some heroics come "raid time", today.

I can pretty much do any role except ranged DPS, but I'm in quest greens and blues for all specs, plus my healing gear is actually missing shoulders of any kind. Still, having soloed some 5-man group quests, I've found that my bear is quite tough even in my crappy gear, so I propose to tank some stuffs.

Who's with me? :)

Cheers,
J.

bloke, my LX character is a female shaman named Znakharka, which actually means "female shaman" in some Eastern European language. But since noone else here can spell it anyway, I thought I could get away with a random series of characters...

Hey, :)

A report:

All we ended up doing was Ramparts heroic. It took us ages to get started, we were short-handed, and the tank (me) was a bit of a noob. I need to learn more about druid AoE tanking, as Swipe+Maul doesn't seem to be doing the job effectively...

Still, the 4.3 change to the tank damage threat multiplier should make things quite easier, so I'm hopeful I can be successful at this. :)

Next Tuesday, there will be more LX stuffs. If we have proper man power and roles, we can do some Kara. If not, it's more heroix. :)

Show up if you can! (And try not to start League of Legends or World of Tanks stuff ten minutes before the start time, m'kay? :rolleyes:)

Cheers,
J.

R.I.P. Swipe spam :(

The problem with bear tanking at any level below 81 is you have no Thrash, which was the skill they introduced to make up for the CD timer on Swipe (although I believe that's been reduced from 6s down to 3s now or something?). This makes it incredibly tricky for bears to hold threat properly at lower levels. Having said that, back in the days of TBC, although bears didn't have a Swipe CD, Swipe itself only hit 3 targets in a frontal arc - so I suppose overall it's the same level of difficulty.
Tabbing Lacerate onto targets is your best bet, inbetween Swipe spamming.
