Here we go!

First of all, hello! And wel­come to my blog.

As you might have noticed from the title tag already, this is a blog about World of War­craft, specif­i­cally ded­i­cated to a much debated sub­ject: Pal­adin tanking.

A few words about me

I want to make it clear from the start: this is my first char­ac­ter in World of War­craft. Don’t expect to read here some ground­break­ing dis­cov­er­ies about Pro­tec­tion Pal­adins. All you will find here are purely my gam­ing expe­ri­ences as a Pal­adin tank. And some occa­sional rants about it.

I’m casu­ally play­ing on [EU]Karazhan. What do I mean by casual? About 3 or 4 hours a day (some­times even more) and 2 or 3 nights/week of raiding.

I started play­ing WoW on 28.04.2007 when I got a Ten Day Guest Pass from my brother. He was (and still is) play­ing horde on the same server but I didn’t want to chose same sides (as I hate horde), so I was fac­ing a hard task at choos­ing what race/class to play as alliance.

As an impor­tant side note, before engag­ing into WoW, I played EVE for a few months but I got bored with it. Years ago I played Dia­blo, which led me to my deci­sion: Human Pal­adin (same as in Diablo).

Why Pal­adin? It’s sim­ple. First, because I played Dia­blo as a Pal­adin. Sec­ond, because I liked the idea that I was going to be a strong melee class and at the same time have offen­sive spells and heals.

Why Human? While brows­ing what races can play Pal­adin, I real­ized I had only two choices (well, there are three, but I didn’t have The Burn­ing Cru­sade back then): Human or Dwarf. I didn’t like the small size of dwarfs so I obvi­ously chose humans. Look­ing back and remem­ber­ing, I didn’t even look at the racial attrib­utes, I just chose human. And I didn’t even cus­tomize my character’s looks.

Think that’s it for this short intro­duc­tion. Next to fol­low is a descrip­tion of My evo­lu­tion as a World of War­craft player.
