Big congratz! Tanking is good fun (been tank since the very (real vanilla) beginning - no family alfa though) and picked up healing along the way. Now i start with healing to learn the instance and switch later to tank, when I have memorized my way around the dungeon and only see boss-crotches
Nice one! Speaking of first times in WoW, I just tonight got finished levelling my thirteenth max level character, and so for the first time have one of every class! All DPS of course xD Some were done in three hours in Timerunning, some were old alts at about level 50 I got caught up through the prepatch event.
Nice! Tanking in MMOs sounds way too stressful for me, so I've never tried! In WoW I usually play as a Disc priest and would join groups as DPS so I can focus on damage, but still side-heal since it's in my nature. Back in Overwatch I almost always played as Mercy. One time I was playing the mode where you get a random character, got Reinhardt and somehow got MVP tanking. I was super proud of myself for branching out, but after that I still went back to playing as Mercy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
congrats man! i love the follower dungeons for practice. i have a 10 yr daughter and she plays with me. so she follows me around while i tank and practice my build lol great bonding time
The follower dungeons gave me all kinds of help in this regard. Plus it was nice to see those dungeons for once and not just be stressed about getting through them. Smell the roses and all that.
Nice man! You’re never too old to learn something new! I’ve recent got over 2k rated in PvP on several different characters. My friend and I are making a pact to strive for 2.4k+ in the new expansion!
I used to be primary raid healer up to and through BC, I also ran with the guilds B team as DPS in Karazhan and one of our tanks was no show, so I hopped on my Druid who had only done dungeons up to that point, and in crafted and dungeon blues was able to tank up to Curator. I was hooked on raid tanking from there on.
I was an idiot teenager when i tanked for the first time. I made a macro to spam "heal me!". I dont know what i was thinking. Like i thought healers couldn't tell when i needed healing. I eventually made a priest because i was tired of looking for healers. I've been a healer for the last 16+ years.
Healing is a lot easier, imo. You don't need to lead the group, you just follow and keep people alive. I think Resto Shaman healing is the easiest but I hear Holy Priest is also easy. Also, grab Healbot Continued.
