These are excellent tips. Talking to the healer first (and by name, not just “Healer, are you ready?”) as the tank establishes a rapport and lets them know that you are conscious of both their existence and their mana. I always ask them to let me know if I’m going too fast or too slow, which also gives them a vested interest in how the pulls are going.

Great post!

Thanks for the comments :)

@Tarinae – I just wish people payed some attention to me when I’m there to heal them. I like healing just as I like tanking, so I don’t want to run one dungeon and be discouraged from running more.

@Thoorin – I’ve never really played a DK or a tank DK, that’s why there isn’t many mentions of them in the blog at all. Well, something to fix and by looking at things around random blogs I think I even know how. ;)

Oh so true.

Though I guess some differences apply for DKs. My main is a warrtank/warrdps, and I recently started a DK as mining slave… I started with 5/5/5 and went from there into blood – supposedly bad idea for tanking, but… I did a few instances last night. It really feels like stealing sweets from children when I look at recount and see myself as top dps, with ~28% damage done and ~19% healing done, too.

@After entering the dungeon, ask if the healer is ready…

OMG This is a valid point and one people should listen too. This afternoon, I had switched back from dps for daily grinding and into my healing form when the LFG tool procced. I went in with 25% mana. Not only did the tank not wait for me to mana all the way to the boss (mind you he was on the squishy side) he also ran off before I had the chance to buff.

My new rule: If you run off without buffs, you aren’t getting so don’t ask.

I am tired of chasing people down…I want to get it done too but 30 seconds isn’t so much of my time.

@If you piss off the healer, you’d better not take any damage at all for the rest of the dungeon. This also includes tanks.

Oh yes. Everyone should take note! <3<3<3

I only went totally out of mana (in a way which I would consider a problem) on our Ignis wipe, and on the rest I was low, but still fine. So there’s still some wiggling room with flasks and food which should last me at least through Ulduar.

You used some specific strategy on Auriaya, other than normal?

If you have mana problems, use flask of mojo instead of flask of frost wyrm. Maybe replace one of your glpyhs to water mastery.

In our original blue raid the wipefests were FL, Ayu and Yogg. But finally we got he Ayu strategy, so I expect her to be 2-shotted.

Good point. I’ve spent the last two weeks mostly not playing WoW at all apart from guild raids and then logging off. The few times I’ve logged in haven’t really made me want to play it. Combined with some PHP work which I had to do as well.

But I see you’re having some serious fun in heroics, can’t miss that can I. ;)

Offtopic, but I’d like to know what happened with Misaka, the orc shaman?

Oh, you’re right, I even have a screenshot of Onyxia Whelpling mail. I somehow forgot about that.

Now that I think of it, the pet should be mailed by Archmage Timear, at least it would give him something to do now.

The anniversary pets came from the WoW Dev Team too, IIRC. Lore nerds around the world burst into tears :>
