This post targets all the Healers and Damage Dealers that never tank, but complain on Reddit about those who do.

I am a warrior tank myself. Plate geared, fury/arms specced and with a shield macro hotkeyed for risky situations. I use demoshout, disarm and interrupt if required.

Most of you will say that this is the absolute minimum, but alot of you tend to forget one thing:

There are new players who would like to tank, or at least try the specc. And considering the sheer amount of opinions on Reddit about how to tank, I can totally understand that some of them are simply confused as f...

Don't treat every tank as harsh as you tend to do on Reddit and don't force them into a certain playstyle.

If they're new, give them tips if you know how to tank or simply be more understanding, as you're always welcome to fill that spot yourself if you feel like you can do better.

Best regards, a Warrior Tank.

*I did my poison quest but otherwise 0 quests.

So anyway I just like grinding mobs on a rogue, I find it relaxing. So I decided to level one to 60 doing just that. I used 2 addons to track my stats: AutoBiographer and Pickpocketer.

I'm posting some stats here and hope someone finds it as interesting as I do. Let me know if you have questions about something I didn't mention here.

1. Rules

1. No quests aside from poison quest.
2. No purchases on the auction house. Only selling allowed.
3. No trades
4. No grouping.
5. I can only equip things I buy from vendors, find on a mob, or craft myself.

2. Gear

• Here's my gear, all found or crafted: https://i.imgur.com/OZsKy1z.png
• I'm a skinner and leatherworker so that I can craft myself armor.

3. Gold

• Total gold pickpocketed: 3g74s
• I'm not exactly sure what is categorized as "other sources", but I assume pickpocketing and all the money from the hundreds of junkboxes I pickpocketed are two of them.
• Current Gold: https://i.imgur.com/GWVTwCF.png

4. Experience

*1: The quest XP is from my poison quest (1 breadcrumb + the actual quest)

5. Kills

https://i.imgur.com/g40oRDL.png

• I did a mix of grinding humanoids (for cloth, better drops, gold, junkboxes) and then beasts for skinning to level leatherworking.
• I used this guide to find some places with dense mobs around my level at any given time: https://imgur.com/gallery/wow-mob-level-maps-BzmRT5X
• Mob kill stats https://i.imgur.com/4wnoWSH.png

6. Loot

*2: I forgot about the no auction house rule at one point and bought a first aid book and learned the recipe. Right afterward, I made the trip to the vendor and bought (then deleted) the book to make it right.

• List of most common drops: https://i.imgur.com/ygecF6A.png
• You get a lot of healing potions from pickpocketing- way more than you need. I sell a lot of extra.

Noteworthy drops:

• blue caster pants that sold for 12 gold.
• 2 10 slot and 2 8 slot bags

7. Time

8. General Stats

Just got the ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme whatevertheheck. It took me a minute to figure out the console port addon (and I have a lot more to optimize) but damnit, this is awesome 🥴

Today I popped onto Nightslayer to do some questing in STV. I get to a spot where trolls spawn, and my jaw dropped. I watched as 6-7 mage bots were running back and forth doing 180s once they all got to a certain point. Some horde, some ally all doing the same line and stopping when the program found a troll to kill and whomever's fireball hit them first. For fun, I killed a couple and they all did the same defense mechanism; not a blink to be had and just sat still casting Fireball. Once my fun was over, an unsettling mood fell over me. This is what WoW has become. We've almost all seen the videos on YT recently with Madskillzz and the bot mafia/empire. I LOVE Classic WoW but situations like this make it extremely hard to log in. Blizzard, we implore you: do better. If Madskillzz recent video is true and banning waves only take out 2-3%, we will never be able to enjoy the game like we should.

We were searching for a tank in Uldaman. Warrior joined, said this and left. Buddy and I found this too funny and sad at the same time. I play a rogue, is it really this bad?

I always see people with crazy lay outs and so much clutter on screen. I do have a huge monitor so I’m sure that helps keep it clean but just curious what do peoples UI layouts look like?

TIL if you leave EP fp and wish you didn’t, you’ll really wish you didn’t. It didn’t stop until IF.

Been seeing rogues still running WC at lvl 25+ for the pants. He is easily soloable at 24 (when I did and first time playing a rogue, could maybe do it earlier). Helps to have your instant poison and bring health pots for good measure. If you get an ony or rend buff it will be piss easy. 1 run stealthing to him takes 5 minutes. Don’t waste your time losing rolls or being a dick and dropping group after. Just sap him, kill his snakes then pop evasion once he transforms for melee attacks. Don’t kick the lightning bolt, it barely does damage. Enjoy your pants!

If you see them, watch their pathing, know what to look for, then report them.

They will ruin the economy.

Nothing better than getting that mail from blizzard saying they have taken action because of one of your reports.
