OT: Bear Gram

So yes, I have a 3 day hiatus and I come back... to ask advice about my bear!

Well, more specifically, my druid.

I have the insanity of many alts. I have one of each class. Most are in the teens to 30 something, but the three highest are:

Giddg Puts the Pointy Ends into the Squishie's so that they bleed
Cayleigh the Love Priest
and

Sashara, a very confused Druid.


I started her out feral, then switched to Boomkin, and recently respec'd her back to feral.

Why?

I have my healz, I have my DPS, now, I have the potential for a tank.

Sasha is 64, so she's only 6 levels away from 70-dom. By having a 70 of each type, I'm looking forward to being able to help anyone in the guild in case they need anything. (And yes, I realize that by playing a druid, I could be all three anyway, but SHHHHH! The monkeys don't need to know.)



Here's my problem. I can DPS like a mofo in kitty. It's fun, it's an awesome way to level, this feral spec.

But I've never tanked. Ever.
And this is what she's supposed to be.

So what do I do? I know, I should go out and peruse some of the blogs out there (BRK's got a friend with a druid blog, I know it!) and read up?

Ever get retardedly nervous about trying something new?

I don't want my first tank adventure to be with anyone but guildies. I tried, way back at lvl 61, to tank Ramparts with a PuG... but some bug in the mapping wouldn't let me click target, and was screwing up my gaming, and I just sucked it. Hard.

Not fun. I felt like the ultimate tool. Since then, I just haven't had the time to go back to her. But I want to try and tank.

I don't have the "Sit back and let things happen" mentality that is prevalent in many, many healers. Giddg got me over that. But there's been a lot of times in instances where I knew more than the tank about the place, and I was marking... and what not. So, yea... I want to try it.

Nyar, now I need a time machine to make me more time for my tank!

Ok, that was sufficiently Off Topic (hence OT). Stay tuned for more blathering tomorrow on how to heal your Tank's left testicle back on after Epoch Hunter ate it.
