I will try to do this myself as well.

I don’t do more PUGs than I absolutely have to and it’s been a while since I had a compliment. I think the last one was when I was healing on my Shaman in Wrath dungeons while levelling.

I’ve not tanked on my Paladin for a while because she doesn’t have a whole lot of health (I never really gem stamina), and healers were complaining. My guildies had no problems keeping me alive of course, but I guess healers are getting spoiled by the fully raid geared tanks they’re getting these days. So I stick to healing ;)

The group stayed together through 3 instances. We ended with Halls of Stone, where the mobs tend to be a level or two above me. We had some members of the group that were in the upper 70s; which made me low man on the totem pole. Even though HoS was a little tough on me, it worked well. Everyone was on the ball, and I was able to hold aggro fairly well.

Next, I need to learn how to use Hand of Salvation!

Darth,

You just rock that way!

Some things went south, and people started dropping. One DPS. Then another. Then our healer, leaving two of us. DPS warrior and me tanking on my DK. I managed to dodge spit and spray and whatever and we got him down, a little worse for wear… but dead, none the less.

Then the warrior says when it’s all said and done, “That’s the best boss tanking I’ve ever seen!”

While I know I’m not a supertank or anything, it was still nice to hear.

that said, I still don’t like tanking PuGs. :P

Thanks for commenting!

When I’m having a rough time tanking, one compliment instantly makes me feel better. That’s why I try to return the favor, like whenever a healer keeps me alive through a botched pull. If I know someone is new to a fight and they pull off the mechanics properly (even after a few failures), I try to praise them there too. Honestly, I think this is one reason why my 5 man runs go so smoothly. Humans love positive attitudes!

Sometimes I’m not in the mood to encourage other people, but I should get in the habit of doing it more often.
