So I’m back into my levelling comfort zone, bringing a baby tank into the world but with all the experience I’ve built on a raiding tankadin and what I’ve picked up from tanking with both my DK and furball of doom.  It’s certainly less painful than it used to be, partly thanks to knowing that…

You know what, I’m going to argue for standing in the fire / void / green / directly in front of the dragon. No, my inner tank or healer has not taken leave of their senses. So, go stand in something bad,and learn from the pain, how much pain are you taking, does it interfere…
