Tanking and Tank Treads

-
So, leveling is still going on with my druid tank. She has reached 47 without any controversy. Tanking so far via the dungeon finder seems to be a ton of button mashing. I have my tanking abilities and simply mash them as the cooldown pops. Probably not the most efficient, and I'll probably want to prioritize them if tanking a raid, but works for 90% of the dungeons I've hit so far. Only when say a warrior or paladin hop and aggro first do I tend to have to chase mobs down...



Not a "crusader" no crusader heirlooms.
With that, I've started searching out more guardian tank sites to link to. You'll see the "Tank Talk" section now on the side bar including a link to "the Inconspicuous Bear". The author contributed a nice write-up on wowhead about beginner guardian tanking.

Now that she's equipped the DPS dagger, I was looking into possibly a heirloom offhand. There are 3 available (+int tome and 2 shields) if you have the 2200 justice points. Of course, if I had that much justice, I'd buy the 2 handed mace. Wait, I think I have it, champion seals. I was saving them for one of the tourney mounts, but really am I ever going back there to finish it off?? Looks like I still need to complete Troll Champion to get "Crusader Elkagorasa", which, could probably be done with one more visit to Northrend. (only need one more visit)



Found this comment with link to a great spreadsheet comparing enchants on various heirloom items. Of course with only 13 levels left to go, I won't be spending the big-bucks on the weapon enchant..



What do you think of Today's base reveals on Azeroth Choppers?
Alliance front and back in-line tank treads.
Horde trike with dual tank treads on back.
I was like, a trike? Um, already got two! (and) Guess I won't be getting a side-car on that..


Considering this is part 'tank', does this mean that they'll also make a healing and dps bike too??  ;-)

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
