Bear Tank Deep Fry
Status Report: I’ve tanked Normal about half-way through the raid. And I look forward to seeing the more interesting mechanics in the Coven, for example. I’ve also tanked Mythic plus 8. I think I’ll be seeing dungeons in the teens tonight.
There is a lot of support for me tanking. Sometimes I think that some of them want me to fall on my face as in “he tried to fly”. There is a true under-current of machismo in tanking. It isn’t a gender thing at all, it is a kind of tough ruggedness that is implied by the players, not the game.
Again, I’ll say that the learning curve is pretty high. I’m still finding buttons that I need on my bars (like Prowl) that I did not anticipate. Sometimes I’m distracted when trying to find buttons too and I can hear Master Cho in my head, “What does this button do?”.
Millions upon millions of players have learned to tank, so I can too.
I told you that you could do it 😀
Glad you are having fun!
Now that you are discovering this new role, will you plan on checking other tanks, or focus on mastering that one? 🙂

I think I’ll stick with this one so I can ride my high gear level deep into leveling in BfA and try to balance both healing and tanking roles. Lots and lots of practice.

I’ve tanked in the past and it can be quite the ordeal sometimes. ROTFL, it was really an ordeal when the guild I was running with finally found out via Voice chat that I was a female. 😀

Haha, oh, Master Cho.
Go you! 🙂 I had a thought a while back, about learning to tank when you asked some questions; I really have cherished proving grounds, when trying to master a new spec. There’s just something about it for me; and the NPCs there do not always behave either. It’s been great. I still can’t crack the Endless Tank challenge or DPS challenge though, I’m just not skilled enough in the area. Once a Healer… 🙂
