Warcraft stuff.
So, for reasons I’m not entirely sure of, I was perusing the Uldaman (aka, the Warcraft server I play on) forums, and came across a thread about who the “best Death Knight is”. I skimmed it, expecting to see mention of a particular DK who’s crazy damage just amazes me, and was not let down — he got a nod. But way, WAY better was finding this:
Blacktusk, hands down and away is the best tps tanking DK I have seen.
That’s Nick. I’m insanely proud. I know it’s totally dorky, but screw that. As his pocket healer, he IS a great tank. I’ve healed a lot of good tanks, a lot of jackasses, a lot of undergeared tanks, and a lot of people who simply have no idea what they’re doing. Nick’s good. That said, it helps that we play in the same room and can tell each other off for fucking up. (But of course, we’re perfect, and NEVER do that. Right? Hello? Whatdya mean I’ve got crusader aura up? IT HELPS ME GO FASTER.)
Always with the crusader aura.
And tanking in blood presence (and then dying when I realized I was in blood after switching to frost).
Go Blacktusk! However, in the ranks of fine tanks, do not forget Koinkshoo, the best tanking boar around. Seriously, it was only since I decided to get a tank pet that my WoW experience did not revolve around “you are facing the wrong way” messages, quickly followed by lengthy trips back from the graveyard. Koinkshoo FTW!
