So last night I did something a little crazy – I spent well over 1,000 g in new gear and respecced protection. The gear isn’t the best an 80 can get, I’ll probably have to respec a few more times to get the talent points just right, and I haven’t even TOUCHED my glyphs … but I’ve officially made the switch from “healadin” to “tankadin.”
… I feel dirty.
It still seems kind of odd to me. I leveled Splat as holy spec, and while this isn’t the first time I’ve shuffled her talent points she always had the majority of them in holy. Never seriously considered any other spec for Splat until now.
So why the switch? Because we needed a tank.
My lovely wife Mel may be a prot spec warrior but she’s had enough computer issues and some medical ones to boot that when minor cause a few seconds delay and at worse require her to go AFK for a boss fight or two. In a casual guild this is understandable (real life comes first and all of that), but right now she’s much better as an off-tank or DPS because of it.
And we tried having Inch’s pet Evilfluffy tank Nexus. We downed Keristrasza, but when the killing blow comes from the party healer it’s time to rethink some things.
So I’ve switched to prot, at least for now. I’m sure I’ll make some a few a ton of mistakes as I learn how to really tank (and not just hold agro by healing myself), but with more than one decent priest in the guild I guess it’s for the best.
