The adventures of a noob tankFollow

First of all, hello! ^^

So, with my main (warlock) only needing stuff from icc, I suddenly have a lot of time over.
I decided to give tanking with my lvl 70 DK a try.

I respecced (blood), bought some green tanking gear and read up on what to do.
Feeling confident i pressed the random dungeon button thingie, and as I got a group my adrenaline started pumping.

Utgarde Keep, the place I know by heart felt new and terrifying.
First pull. I couldn't even control two mobs and constantly lost aggro, but we survived.
Second pull. The fight lasted about ten seconds.
After two more tries i was kicked.

I tried, and tried.. and tried. I got kicked more times than i want to remember, was called a noob among the nicer things. I failed at everything it seemed and my self-esteem was at the bottom.

I started reading guides, pestered fellow DK's for advice and studied rotations like a mad-man.

Then finally, one day I succesfully got a group alive through UK. Barely.
Here comes the twist.

When the group was disbanding a mage whispered me and asked why i tanked in Blood Presence.

I have never felt so dumb. I had missed the most fundamental little thing, clicking that Frost Presence button.

After realizing my mistake, tanking was now a cakewalk.
I really enjoy it, and honestly think that my little adventure made me a better tank in the end ^^


Got any ****** moments to share?

The closest thing I can think of when tanking on my DK was when I forget to switch to my tank set of gear. I change talents, and presence but somehow forget gear /shrug

I'm no expert but I find Frost tanking a lot of fun... although ever since I saw someone post about the super easy threat spec of 12/51/8.. I haven't had a single problem with holding aggro... just rounding them up and keeping them from getting behind me.
