Yep, I’ve done it. And it’s not a big deal!

Yesterday my guild, Pandemic, had planned a full Kara run, in which I was going to be offtank. Because the main tank was late, I was designated as MT. I had been MT before and I knew what to do.

Tanked Attumen, tanked trash, healed at Maiden (I know it can be done and I’ve done it before but seeing I was the only Paladin in the raid I wanted to cleanse the Holy Fire) (and PLEASE Maiden, next time drop my Iron Gauntlets of the Maiden and Barbed Choker of Discipline), healed at Curator (!), tanked Opera and then… I got disconnected! After about 15 minutes the connection was up again and right in time for me to tank Prince.

Loot was good in terms of tanking: Moroes dropped Moroes’ Lucky Pocket Watch (which I passed for the other tank) and Prince dropped Helm of the Fallen Champion (which, again, I passed, and a Restoration Shaman got them to complete his 2-piece set).

Looking back it wasn’t really a main tanking Paladin run, but hey! I reached a status where I don’t have to prove I can do it because everyone knows I can.

And besides, the Main Tank of a guild is the one that can help all the time, be online when he’s needed and attend all the raids. And I’m not that person at the moment. But more on that in a different post.

Until then, keep tanking!
