My ZF run last nightFollow

Im an arms spec warrior at lvl 47. Ive been using the bonebiter ever since around lvl 35 when i picked it up from SM. Just recently though ive been using the Blight polearm (sp) to get my skill up for when i get the IBS.

Anyway.....

So, whenever i join a group (i have to PUG quite a lot as my guild is poor!) stright away comes the, 'your tanking' which is fine. I liked tanking, not that i was particulary good at it. I would stay in battle stance as this is where my talents are, and just hope that no one would 'out' aggro me. Which, as you can guess did happen fairly often.

I'd try to do ZF around 4 times before, but would always have people AFK'ing or doing some crazy pulls and b1tching at me for not taking them all out with one swing lol.
So i join this group. We have a preist healer, rogue, mage and warlock as dps and me as the tank.
I get out my sword and board just for a change i try defensive stance. OMG! What a difference! now before you come on all, 'well dur you n00b thats what your supposed to do', i never really felt the need to go defensive, especially as i was missing out on imp overpower etc.

But now im converted! I was nothing short of amazing. Dropping taunts left right and center. Not once did and of the other group get aggro. The healer was great, my health didn't drop below half throughout. We completed the instance in no time at all, and i picked up some new plate shoulders and a blue 1h sword with parry increase on it.

This is one happy tank. :)

My major issue is finding a Guild with peeps my age. I'm 29, and I have gone thru quite a few guilds that have thier vent chats full of 10-14 year olds >< no offence to kids, but I'm not on the same page & find it tough to enjoy the company. Plus a good solid mature 10 year old player is very rare and hard to find. Wish Blizz could post your age on your profil in-game somehow. I think finding good PUGs, for even youger players (i'm sure they get along nicely when they can relate), would be alot easier.

Plus the "you should spec this... buy that piece of gear... do this with your gold... blah-blah-blah" gets very old.

Congrats Furiouspilgrim!

I'm over 30 :) I find it irritating when people type in semi-legible txt speak. I also can't stand temper tantrums that some young people tend to throw when things don't go their way. But generally, I'm very easy going. Having an expectation that most people in game are kids probably helps.
