I am Meatshield

Went and spec'd full Prot this past weekend and MT'd Karazhan. Our MT druid was under the weather, our main MT warrior wasn't around, and people wanted to go raid. So off to the trainer I went, 30g later, I'm a meatshield. This was the first time I've spec'd for Devastate, it just wasn't inticing enough for me to get it all the other times I went protection. Now after they've changed it, it's a great tool for making mobs hate me more than other people.

The first night we went through the Opera Event, which is a normal night for us, that's where we stop. Everything went great, one wipe through the night on the Crone, just because people had a brain fart on how to handle the event. Buffed up and slaughtered the little pretties, and their little dog too. Had a great time being the MT, I felt like I had everything under control. Only had a couple deaths, that was the mages during AOE dance hall. I don't take the blame for those.

Went back the next day to finish up where we left off. Smoked Curator right after he was done with his 2nd Evocate, skipped Aran to go to chess. We've been having problems with that guy so now we just skip him. Then up to Prince, which didn't go so well. Not sure what it was, think my armor may be a little lacking for Prince, I still use the shield from Shattered Halls 1st boss, my shoulders are the quest reward out of Durnholde. Kinda sucked to get to Prince, and not down him. We used the "safe spots" shown in Wowwiki, so Infernals weren't the problem. Some thought it was because we only had 2 1/2 healers, but that shoulda been enough, the 2 main healers (priest and shammy) are geared out and are good. The 1/2 healer was a feral druid that was my OT both nights, figured he be better off healing instead of running back and forth from Enfeebles. One of the deaths I got 2 crushing blows in a row in Phase 2. Tried 3 times before we had respawns and couldn't get back without clearing again.

Ah well, I got the tank belt off of Maiden, got screwed the first night out of 2 badges, not sure where they went, kinda just didn't appear in my bags, I know I looted.... Opened a ticket but didn't get a response by the time i logged off, now I'm too lazy to open another ticket. Also picked up the necklace out of the Chess box, just to check it out for dps purposes.

On another note, I cancelled my account. Holidays are here and I need to spend some time with my family and get things straightened out around the house. Will also take vacation back to the states in Jan. I'll be back after the busy times are done.
