If the dps don't allow you to tank that isn't your fault. <br /><br />If putting out 1k tps gives your dps enough room to generate enough damage to kill the boss then it isn't your fault if they don't know how watch the threat ceiling. That would be like saying you can't tank when you keep dying because your healer doesn't know how to heal right.<br /><br />For me. I like "relaxing" healing. It is far more fun for me to simply lightly tap rejuvination every once in a great while and keep the tank topped off the entire time. :P My druid has finally reached that point. Sadly however I'm usually asked to tank now by malcik because he's tired of tanking and wants someone to heal for.Dammerunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314741182179848942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-69032282020598468022010-02-23T11:42:46.739-07:002010-02-23T11:42:46.739-07:00"Anyone can tank heroics."
Nope! I'..."Anyone can tank heroics." <br />Nope! I've seen plenty of tanks that hold aggro like Mother Teresa. Now either this be the tank's or dps's fault varies.<br /><br />Gearscore is important, just not as important as some would make you think it is. Gearscore is also only really relevant in raids, not heroics. You want some kinda standard of gear depending on the raid. However, a high GS doesn't mean you're a good dps.<br /><br />'Gearing up in my mind only means "making this less stressful and more fun"'<br />Try less stressful and more BORING. I heal on a shammy and believe me, once you get to a certain level of heals, it's extremely boring healing heroics. I can pop an Earth shield and sleep. Maybe cast a Riptide every once in a while.<br /><br />Your main point still is true for MOST heroics. The higher end one does require some better gear for the dps you need to fight the bosses. Good thing that the LFG finder has a gear check mechanism in it. :)klakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-27905714602900721252010-02-23T05:30:15.509-07:002010-02-23T05:30:15.509-07:00I agree, and I think people spend too much time lo...I agree, and I think people spend too much time looking at damage meters and gearscores.scotthttp://leaflitter.typepad.com/scottsblog/noreply@blogger.com
