I Am Number Thirteen

Once upon a time...  there was a boss called Sinestra.
(I hope your happy Coolstorybro)


The amount of adrenaline that surges through your body as a tank when tanking a tier ending boss is immense. My body actually started to shake at this point and the end result was me somehow pushing Print Screen - that's how bad it was. Regardless of the damage that that level of adrenaline did to my body, the ecstasy that you feel once the boss is killed is indescribable. Since it's something that you and 24 other people are all striving for you feel somewhat of a connection between the raid and yourself. Thankfully she went down @ 11:49 (server time) giving us the server first for Sylvanas, unfortunately the feat of strength was locked for me due to me moving to this server under 2 months ago.

This fight was a challenging one for a paladin having to switch some of my spells so that i don't Silence or Stun the Twilight Spitecaller during phase 2. Moving 1 of my major tanking spells Avenger's Shield to a bar that is barely visible with a key binding near impossible to click, was just enough to stop me from using it. Also breaking the habit of using Arcane Torrent every time i see a cast is a hard one to stop.
