Thunderbrute-Sisters of Elune
Doing daily heroics through the random setting can be a mixed bag. But sometimes, you meet a real tank. A warrior's tank. Such is THUNDERBRUTE!
With pretty much blue level 200 equipment and only 30K life, a Tauren warrior would be a liability anywhere else. Quick deaths and low hit points can mean wipe after wipe.
But Thunderbrute manages to maintain control of all the mobs in the game. Two instances where I played with him were the Utgarde Pinnacle and Violet Hold.
We wiped 2x in the UP trying to do the Hulk achievement, but that was more because of the DPS.
So, Hail to Thunderbrute! I can't wait for this tank to start raiding. Maybe someday, we'll have cross-realm raiding.
Oh, and I should mention Titenlord, Shondr and Lucius. They were exceptional dps.
Happy New Year everyone! Let 2010 be a good one for everyone.

It's not the gear... It's theplayer
Did an instance with Malevolence of Bladefist. He is a paladin tank with 28K life. In the Halls of STone, he kicked some major butt. Got good control and never let things get too crazy.
Hail Malevolence of Bladefist. Your exploit is amazing!
Hail Malevolence of Bladefist. Your exploit is amazing!
Forge of Souls... Hail Adventurers!
This is to bring glory to a glorious group:
Maulmogg-Lightbringer Tank
Anguzbeef-Uther: 5535 dps
Trindal-Lightbringer: 4025 dps
Perkyhunter-Libhtbringer: 3688
A wonderful run with a successful downing. 2 deaths, but not bad. It happens when aggro is high and draws away from tank.
As always, Hiwas was the healer.

Tanking
Hello visitor. This is my quick and easy guide for tanking.
First off, visit: http://warriortanking.com/theory/wotlk-cc-and-mobility/
That is a great article on tanking.
2. Layout of keyboards is an excellent way to improve tanking. If using a keyboard, make sure that your layout is on the 1-2-3-4-5 sequence. What that means is that your charge is set up to 1. 2 is thunderclap. 3 is shockwave. 4 is devastate or sunder armor, etc, etc.
You can also use 6-7-8-9-0 as a nother sequence with which to attack. You usually need intervene, shield bash for the pesky casters. Demoralizing shout should also be in any beginning rotation to lower the attack power of others.
In another article,
http://wow-tips.blogspot.com/2007/05/warrior-tanking-guide.html
there was a suggestion for the following sequence: Charge, Demoralizing Shout, Whirlwind, Protection stance. Takes 5 seconds, but tons of threat.
Good tanking everyone!

Horde attack Balinda and Stonehearth bunker. Next to be attacked is the Icewing bunker.
Icewing Pass 092608_221828.jpeg
The Horde is on Icewing Pass in the North. This leads underneath to the bridge.
AS and Bunkers 092608_221912.jpeg
The aid station is attacked along with the North and South bunkers. Note that the graveyard has been left untouched.
Time 6 min 092608_222016.jpeg
All of the above was done in 6 minutes. It takes 4 min for a bunker to burn.
Recapped Bunker 092608_222141.jpeg
In the middle of the map, Iceblood Tower was recapped. This is essential to delay the Alliance. For some reason, the Alliance can not beat Drek with 1 marshall guarding Drek.
IWB SHB down 092608_222340.jpeg
In this one, Icewing bunker and Stonehearth bunker has gone up in flames.

Auctioneer and Logging Off
After more research, I came up with the following from their site. Since I can not play WOW, I have to do something else. So this is what I do. Research.
I noticed that my last realm was Ventrure Company where I began a minor character. In this realm, I did not turn off the auctioneer program. At least, that’s the type of auction program I have using Wowmatrix. I was trying out the program before using it on my other main realm. I have to delete the whatever auction program I have because it seems that it might have set off the security system Warden.
I do remember that I logged out of Venture Company while at the auction house. Maybe this is what the Warden noticed. I went to chat with my wife while my character was at the auction house. I stayed too long to chat. Next thing I know, I was logged off. I read somewhere that this guy was suspended because he was basically watching two screens at his computer. One was set to a movie. And, he was a priest level 26 beating on something lower than him to raise his skill points. From time to time, he would heal himself and beat the char.
CAUTION: Auctioneer. Not to sound the alarm or anything like that. But from my recollection, what happened to me is that I ran auctioneer, and then left and let the system log out of Warcraft. If I were to read the below, this can be construed as data mining of some sort. So for those players who have auctioneer on, leave the auction house with it off before leaving your character to log off automatically.
In this forum, they discuss auctioneer. I believe I found out what happened to everyone from my experience. If you let auctioneer go and then you are logged off, you can be cited for “data mining”.

Unapproved Third Party Software
A third party program is any file or program that is not a part of the World of Warcraft software, but is used to gain an advantage in the game, such as increasing your movement speed or teleporting from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is not normally available to the regular player or that transmit or modify any of the game files. Normally, this classification does not include UI modifications, except those UIs that require an external application to function. Any external applications that are used in conjunction with World of Warcraft can cause quite a few unwanted side effects. Some of the major possible results of the use of third party programs can be instability of the game to the point that a player "crashes" from the game quite often. External programs can also be used to transmit viruses, spyware, and other unwanted programs into a player's computer. Third party programs can also be used to obtain information from the player's computer, such as account, password, and personal information. If a player is found to have used such a program, he/she may:
0. Be temporarily suspended from the game
Have further action taken, up to and including account closure, based on the intent of the program

I AM INNOCENT!!!
I’m Innocent
I got home today just licking my chops to get my Tauren warrior to level 29. But guess what. Blizzard suspended my account. The notice was as follows below.
I would not feel so bad if I was caught cheating. The bad thing about this though is that I don’t even have the technical expertise to exploit or manipulate the client or server. I use add-ons, but they were obtained from trusted sites. I used WowMatrix for the Mac to download and update my addons.
My assessment is that there might have been some other program running in the background at the same time I was playing wow that set off the security system called Warden.
1. Growl was waiting to be downloaded for the computer. This is a Mac application. I don’t know what the heck this program does.
2. I was using some paladin blessing add-on and a warlock add-on (Necronomicon). I was also using auctioneer.
3. I was downloading the patch for the Wrath of the Lich King also. The interesting thing is that my computer would stop after 85MB. I had all the shutdown and powersaving turned off. But, download was still interrupted.
4. Finally, one other odd thing was that I had a notice that my password was changed. I am hoping that this was the cause and that someone hijacked my account. May whoever hacked my account suffer the unpleasantness of never tasting good food ever in their life.
My search in the internet showed that having a peer-to-peer network can cause Blizzard to cancel your account. For the life of me, I don’t know what a network does.
So, if anyone from Blizzard is reading this, check my holdings in Wow. I don’t have enough gold to be cheating. I get auctions of small eggs to sell for 2 gold. That is how I make money. I have pains in my fingers and wrists for smashing the keyboard. Well, I do have the Nostromo pad.
Personally speaking, I don’t like this suspension thing one bit. Blizzard does not allow people to call them. They ask for e-mails. It’s a good thing it’s not alterac valley weekend, or I would really be pissed off.
