looking to get bk into raids over the summer you shouldn't think of yourself as being a tank or a healer. You are most useful to your guild when youan be either. I'm primarily a tank but have built a full healing set giving me 2000+ healing, so when there are to many tanks but not enough healers a quk resp and I'm there. My tanking set is far better than my healing, but Ian still jump in and
heal anything in BT when needed. With the summer giving a drop in tive raiders (bbq's instead of raids for lots) it's better for your guild if you arelued up on both aspts. Unfortunately my guild haven't yet required me to don my retri gear :(
I believe it would be easier for a tanking endgame, but that's just judging from observation of our rent raids in S and TK. Tanking, from what I remember when I used to tank, is simply a game of to maintain threat by maximizingD time in a spellle. As long as your dps don't do anything stupid then it's usually dent. Also, we only use one prot pally (typally) in our raid as OT or AoE tanking situations, so theyan also be fairly spialized as our WarriorDruid tanksan typally generate far greater threat on a single target. I find thehallenge with healing is to avoid going tunnel-visioned on your heal bars (gridclique in myase). With many T56 raid bosses, if you stand in one spot for very long you will die. Big Wigs or DB addons help, butan get tuned out in lengthy fights at times.all-outs on VentTSan help with tunnel-visioning,
but therean be a sond or two lag whhan easilyause a raid we in someases. Now, with respt to "Stressful" (the OP question)? Personally I don't get stressed... and here is why: 1. I trust my own skill at my job in the raid 2. I trust my guildraid members 3. I know what to expt (wah youtube and read wowwiki for trash pulls and boss fights) 4. I do not jump in over my head
