Many of us still haven't run MgT yet because nobody will tank the instance for us. Sigh... Too many of us DPS characters out there, I suppose... Glad to hear you bit the bullet for your group.

On our run we were overgeared for a normal 5-man, but we still had 1 full wipe, 2 partial wipes, and random single deaths (mostly the rogue). Maybe I should get my tanking set built up again... “That said, it’s not a particularly pally-friendly instance…”

I haven't made the change yet, though. I'm still Holy, but I will respec this weekend as soon as I've gotten a few enchants on my offspec tanking gear and hit exalted with Sha'tar (one more hMech run) for the shield. Glad to see I'm not the only pally healer out there feeling the pain of Magister's Terrace. I was about to post something just like this!

The only place I had trouble was on the last boss, and that was solved by having the druid tank throw a barkskinned Tranquillity during phase 2 (when no tanking is required). That said, it's not a particularly pally-friendly instance... Tego - 5-man healing is tough as a pally sometimes - we've got the raw oomph, but the total lack of mass heals and AoEs is painful. And no, I didn't have a sword - I use the Amani Punisher from ZA. High damage yes, but still a hammer. :) Nazaniel – I managed okay on the PTR as a holy pally healing a feral druid, but I’m fairly well-geared.

That said, I still prefer Holy and will be respeccing ASAP... I feel wrong as Prot! Beelzebubb - welcome to the joy of time zones. I'm in Australia, and it <i>is</i> Thursday the 27th here. :) Rhoe - I had a bit of an advantage in that I've done a bit of tanking while Holy spec for my guild's raids. Having a pally tank makes such a difference on large AoE pulls (eg in Kara and ZA) that it's more effective to have me throw on the tank gear and tank them as a Holy pally while the druid tank throws on their heal set and covers for me, than to get the regular tanks to tank 'em. And I've occasionally gone Prot for a night of OTing in ZA or wherever... but I am, indeed, generally fairly nubby at tanking. :) Bunnyfer – hehe :) The world needs more Pally tanks!

I can't imagine just hopping from Resto to Feral on my druid and then jaunting through MgT like a walk in the park as the MT. :) They're very different jobs, teh haelz and teh meatshield. I'm glad it went well for you and your group. Bernie is great. ^_^ Yours, ~Rhoe You make it sound so easy!

I honestly have not looked back. I love tanking SOOO much better than healing.
