"How I Became a World of

"Okay, I'm not really a World of Warcraft genius. But my friends all think I am. wow gold Open in a new window

Here's why... I really decided I was going to figure this world of warcraft thing out...so I started playing more than ever and listening to all my cousin's little tips and tricks. I read anything I could find online and tried even the craziest things by little cousin suggested. I EVEN let his bratty little friends come over and play the game on my computer so I could pick their brains too. Here's what I found out... It's Easier Than You Think! Turns out playing a great game of World of Warcraft is not complicated once you know a few basics. wow gold Open in a new window

kaufen In fact, it's way easier and more fun than ""regular old video games"". Some of the reasons are: Tons of different lands. (you never get bored!) There's always a something NEW to explore. You can experience your character's travels, quests, challenges and trials. You and all your friends can play online! There's something like 8 MILLION people playing World of Warcraft - so there's always someone to talk to about your passion (or complain to about losing!) And you don't need to know a lot of technical stuff to be successful ... That's the big secret. It seems like the game would be harder to play (and WIN) than it actually is ... wow gold Open in a new window

but in fact, what I discovered was that there are only a few key tricks and tactics that can make you TEN TIMES better as a player once you know them. Here's the problem... Read more here: .

Hold the Line; An Endgame Tanking Reference

"The following is the second compilation of my reference guide written to help those new and old in Warcraft raiding. None of this is a replacement for guild strategy decisions, nor is it the end-all and be-all of tanking. Enclosed in this guide are four major sections designed to assist dedicated tanks; though it is written for Warriors, it may be helpful to Druids and Paladins, as well as anyone interested in researching certain dynamics of the endgame. wow gold Open in a new window

The first section covers Main Tanking and leadership qualities related to this role. The second section covers gearing and itemization as it relates to tanking. The third section covers tanking itself, in terms of talents, threat, positioning, and other related subjects. wow gold Open in a new window

kaufen The fourth and final section is a reference guide to specific encounters in the endgame. Addendums to this guide include mods and other various information. This guide, though long and undoubtedly arduous for the reader, serves the secondary purpose of preparing warriors who are unfamiliar with the endgame environment. wow gold Open in a new window

If you are a warrior applying to or forming a raiding guild, you are strongly recommended to read this and familiarize yourself with the concepts. I do not believe in the so-called casual guild. Any raiding guild, by the nature of achieving raid goals, is incapable of being casual and undisciplined. It is instead a high level of discipline and organization devoted to a goal, be it learning Molten Core on your weekends or learning Naxxramas six nights a week. wow po In everything we do, we are given a certain amount of time in which we either put forth our full discipline and attention or we do not; in which we either succeed or do not. achat wow gold Open in a new window

This guide is not written for people who do not wish to progress; it is written for those who have a deep desire to progress as fast as time permits. <hr />As such, I will not apologize for certain premises you may find in this guide -- for instance, Protection is better for raid progress in most new encounters than either Arms or Fury heavy builds.

What is Main Tanking?

By Gimmy Vincent

"Main Tanking is the position of greatest responsibility in any raid; it is a natural position of leadership. Personally, I classify several warriors as Main Tanks. In our case, Stag, Thinger, and Airknight are Main Tanks as of writing this. wow gold Open in a new window

Among the Main Tanks, there is a Lead Tank, which is the position I generally take as it corresponds with guild leadership. Main Tanking is taking absolute responsibility for raid mitigation through several methods: Funneling damage, removing damage, and controlling chaos. While each class has enjoyable and unique raid functions, from Hunter kiting to Rogue and DPS Warrior damage dealing, tanks take complete control of the actual battle. With the greatest risk comes the greatest reward -- and glory. Understand, however, that Main Tanking is the most stressful position. wow gold Open in a new window

kaufen You will wipe raids many, many times due to mistakes in pulling, positioning, tanking, and any number of unexpected issues. You will often feel overwhelmed upon encountering a new boss fight such as Razorgore where the sheer complexity seems impossible to overcome. You are also alone in this responsibility. wow gold Open in a new window

You will rarely have right to blame others for failings, and as such, should never take a stance that it is someone else's fault that you died.Indeed, this is very rarely the case: if you have any cooldown available on your hotbar, be it Shield Wall, Last Stand, or a Major Healing Potion. you are responsible for your own death. You are not merely a warrior who carries a shield. You are a leader. wow po Buck up, take the responsibility on yourself, take command. "
