The triumphant return

Posted by Kadomi

The hiatus is over, I am back, hope ya missed me! No Internet for a week was gruesome, and excessively boring. In my free time I leveled a warrior in TitanQuest, but it doesn’t really compare to WoW. But now I am back, hopefully for good. My hatred for T-Com, the German monopolist for all things communication-wise, knows no bounds.

I will be trying to fall back into a regular post pattern, so look for updates on Mon/Tue and Thu/Fri. Tomorrow I will start posting again, talking a bit about how I feel about the G13 keyboard a month after I got it. Cheers. :)

    Hey drug! I need your pep talk, because it looks like I will heal second-half Naxx this weekend. Aiiiii.

    Two possibilities:

    a) Allow yourself some 8-9 hours of sleep every night, do some physical exercises, eat healthy, read all elitist jerks forums and start the raiding night at your top game and fully concentrated.

    b) Bind every key of your G13 to chainheal and watch TV while encouraging your cat (or small dog) to walk over the keyboard. Attention: Do not make yourself a sandwich during fights that might require decursing/poison or disease totem dropping.

    Without my weekly fix of a post on your forum my tanking performance dropped quite a bit. I failed at tanking Sapphiron25 and had to leave the job to a DK, whose gear was inferior to mine, but who could easily sport some 4-5k health more than I do. And while my TPS is quite ok I could do far more better in terms of DPS.

    How are you on DPS then? I mean, we’re obviously not as strong as DKs when it comes to DPS while tanking (which makes me all grrr, jealously)

    Of your options, I think I prefer option a), vastly. :)

    I’m still doing around 1,4k-ish dps (25 man raid buffed) on boss fights and I still haven’t found a way I’m comfortable with to manage heroics strikes.

    After last raid I rearranged my keybindings, macro’ed concussion blow to shield slam and set up an addon in the center of my screen which notifies me of revenge and sword and board procs.

    Hopefully I’ll get a chance to tank naxx this weekend and working on fitting as much abilities inbetween shield slams as possible. For HS uptime I tried everything from macroing it to revenge, mousewheel and different other buttons but it always feels so silly to press a button every swing, yet it is so important for dps and rage dumping.
