Your latest warrior accomplishment threadFollow

We killed prince last weekend on our 2nd week in kara with this group (got 2 kara groups since 2 weeks).
Took 3 times but the 2nd time he died while at 1%. I was alone that 1% and although my dps is not quite imba as a tank, i think i got him down to 0,5%... can you believe that?

Anyway you should have heard our arms warrior speaking in vent when prince was below 10%. The only thing you heard was him screaming so hard and at the same time bashing his keyboard (execute quite likely). It was hilarious :)

But joyjoy, we got him the 3rd time, wow so excited :)

A few late accomplishments. My old warrior, Ninano, got hacked about 4-5 months back. Took a few months off from the game, and started playing again in late-to-mid November. Dinged 70 about 2 weeks ago, and have seen been putting together gear. I was GOING to go DW fury and had my Drakefist Hammer crafted, and was one nether shy of a Dragonmaw. A bunch of my old raiding friends convinced me to go prot again in hopes of having me tank raids again, so I took the plunge earlier today. Broke the 490 mark on defense about 3 hours ago, and sitting at about 11.3k HP unbuffed so far. :D

Well, I just dinged 70 yesterday on a second run of Old Hillsbrad. Started tanking the instance at 69, then got to 70 as we went through. Actually ended up running the instance 4 times yesterday. I specced fury up through about level 67-68, then switched to protection. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, since I didn't have much experience tanking higher level instances. No deaths, and I didn't lose any aggro the first 3 times. Tanked Black Morass twice after that, but we couldn't get past the final boss. Now that I don't have to worry about that pesky levelling for a while, I'm looking forward to gearing up and doing some real tanking.

The fourth run was a bit more annoying, as we had people trying to speed through the thing and pull too much at once. It turned into a free-for-all which was all right up until the last group. We wiped, and our priest (who is a great healer, btw) decided to call it, as did our warlock. We managed to get another priest and a hunter, so now it's me, a 70 rogue, 68 priest, 70 hunter, and a 66 hunter. This was all to help out a guildie (the 70 rogue), but we ended up with 3 people from different guilds. The 66 hunter starts Thrall running before our rogue could talk to him, and pretty much ninjas every blue piece that drops (we all usually pass if it's something no one can use, then roll for the DE). So basically, nobody feels that they need to hit what the tank is hitting during the final fight and we wipe 3 times. After the 3rd wipe, the hunter says that it's because my gear's not good enough, since he aggro'd a mob and died first. I can see where sometimes that could be a legitimate grievance, but I had tanked the previous runs in mostly greens (switched to mostly blues at 70). I'm not saying I'm the best tank, but I had to tell him to use misdirection shot to put the aggro on me, instead of trying to take stuff out himself. So what happens? We beat the Epoch Hunter the 4th time, thanks to my "inadequate" gear. Oh well. Rant over.

Either way, it feels good to finally hit 70. I love my warrior.

I was in Nagrand messing around in Halaa with my brother who is a 68 Pally. We decided to go to the arena there in Nagrand to do some skirmishes (as we will be forming a team when he dings 70). The wait times for the battles were ridiculously high so we decided to do some dueling while waiting. So at this time a gnome rogue and a NE hunter show up (both 70) and the rogue proceeds to tell me to follow him in the arena. Now keep in mind that I didnt know that you can get attacked by anyone when entering the arena. (I thought that it would at least flag you). The rogue attacks me so I'm thinkin "ok its on!" There I am doing a pretty good job of destroying him when his hunter buddy enters the fray and down I go. So I have my brother rez me but I get rezzed too close to the arena and the hunter one shots me. Ok NOW its officially on. I have my brother rez and heal me, I run in destroy the rogue then turn and proceed to spank the hunter. Now it doesnt seem like that big of a deal with a pally healing you right? Except he wasn't healing me because he didnt get close enough to pvp lol. So long story already too long, I got my revenge and it was soooo sweet.

When: today Where: Warsong gulch

What happened: It was towards the end of the match. We had already captured 2 out of 3 and the 3rd was en route. So me and a druid are chillin in the flag room to make sure they didn't grab our flag and drag the game out. So all is quiet until somebody yells "6 inc tunnel" So I'm thinking great. There is only 2 of us and 6 of them. Everyone else is guarding the FC and on the other side of the map. So the druid and I ran into the tunnel to try and stall them.

So while we are on our way the druid whispers to me "I'll lock down the healers and you just keep on them till they are dead." I was like cool whatever. We're going to die anyways. So sure enough theres 6 of them heading right up the tunnel. So just like any fight with allies I get stunned by a rogue and then I had all 6 of them on me. The druid entangled a priest and I started to wail on her. I get her before the entangle lost effect and I was down to about 35% because thats all the damage they could manage. The druid then entangled the rogue and I hit int shout and dropped the rogue before everyone made it back. So now I figure I'm done for when I got a 7400hp heal from the druid. Which put me up to almost full health.

The first one back was a warlock and I hit death wish and dropped him with about 8 hits. So whats left is 2 hunters and a paladin (who really should of been healing). By now the druid is out of mana and he joins the fight in cat form and we dropped both the hunters with ease. By the time the pally was left the group showed up and killed him within seconds. The groups reaction was priceless when they saw the 2 of us standing there surrounded by skeletons.

11 badges from Sabatons of the Righteous Defender. yes, yes, pally feet, i know, but no tanking gear has dropped for me the past few kara runs T_T and my obsidian clodstompers need an upgrade.

also managed to multitank every pull up to the first boss in heroic ramps with ice trap being the only reliable form of cc from an undergeared hunter and severely undergeared 61 point arms warrior o.O

Sounds kinda fishy to me too. 6 on 1 even with a healer is quite gg. Either way, they must have sucked for sure...GJ

Awesome job bro!

Well i just literally respecced to prot 2 days ago, on both of my UB runs i got compliments in whispers from the groups. Thats good enough for me =]]

I thought about a thread for this but instead I will put it where it belongs. I was in the eye of the storm and I designated myself the fel reaver defender because no one wanted to defend. So for a little while no one attacked and I was getting bored. I looked over at mage tower and saw 2 defenders. A 66 lock and a 62 hunter. Might be a challenge but we'll see. I mounted up and made a break for mage tower. I rolled in, dismounted and charged the lock. I hit deathwish to avoid being feared and took out the lock with ease and turned and took out the hunter. Well that was easy. So of course in comes the cavalry. About 5 allies come rushing up the ramp. Meanwhile we grabbed the flag and dreanei ruins was being rushed by our team. So I knew I was good as dead because 5 on 1 with only 40% life put me in a bad spot.

So I thought to myself "Better buy some time for my team." I threw on my shield and one hander and hit shield wall. SO I've got 5 ally player wailing on me when I noticed a mage charging up something fierce so I hit reflect and he ended up one shotting himself. So now I got 4 left. 1 annoying rogue and 3 NE hunters. So next thing I int shout. All but the rogue got feared so I equipped my 2 hander and clobber the rogue. The hunters get back and start wailing on me and I'm about dead. So I get the rogue to under 20% and my execute lights up and I hit him right before I die and it crits for 4400 damage and drops him. 7 vs 1 and only 3 of them walked away. Not too bad.

My third Kara run (We just started and for the life of me, I have no idea why we can't get pass Moroes). A guildie told me that I suck as MT in Kara after a few horse pulls. I stepped aside and let him be MT. We reached Attumen and I pulled Midnight (OT's job). Everything was fine until Attumen appeared and the MT didn't pick him up fast enough and we wiped.

He handed over MT duty to me for the 2nd try and I tanked phase 2 and 3 with no deaths and was hugging Attumen so tight I think his ribs broke :P That kinda shut that little kid up. He challenged me to a duel after the run seeing that I have way less epics compared to him. The result, 5-1. He didn't even take a quarter health from me. I played a long when he told me to use my tank gear, my dps gear, sword and shield, etc. The only time he beat me was when he got lucky and I was afk >_>

Anyways, I showed that I might not have better gear that he does but I have the skills to make up for it. Just imagine if I have better gear :O That's the only thing I did on my warrior that I can remember as a "personal" accomplishment. I've been spending time trying to gear up my pally xD

My guild visited Kara for the fourth time last night. We took Attuman down easily. I then offered to trade places with another guild Warrior since I already had the two good tanking drops off of Moroes. They went on to take out Moroes in 3 shots and Maiden in 3. I then went back in for Opera and we cleared the trash quite smoothly. The event was Wizard of Oz which was a first for most of us so after a bit of explanation we got started. After wiping we decided to alter our original strategy and then wiped again twice though part of that was probably due to the Warlock (on fear duty) having some bad connection problems. We quickly ran in to beat the respawn timer and we suddenly seemed to all have everything together and beat the event like we knew what we were doing. I didn't get any goodies but that was okay as I'd made out really well on last week's visit with the tanking legs off of Curator and Moroes' Pocket Watch. We're planning on doing Curator again on Friday and I should be tanking on that.

My other recent 'first' was doing H Ramparts which went pretty smoothly until taking on Omar who wiped us once and then went down to the mighty staff of our OOM Priest after the rest of the group had died. The dragon/rider boss gave us a little trouble especially after the guards started bug-respawning and wearing out the mana-people. We finally downed him after carefully making the guards die at the same time (which prevented the respawn). I got nothing out of that run but at least know that I can handle the place on heroic.
