LOLFIRST!!1!

Everyone has to start somewhere.

I started playing World of Warcraft in January of 2006. In February of 2006, I was lucky enough to join the Watchmen, the finest guild on Kul Tiras. I started, as we all did, without the slightest clue on how to do anything, really. I love to learn, though, and so I read. Everything. Even the bad stuff.

It took me several months, but I finally leveled to 60 and started raiding Molten Core with the guild. I got my Aurastone Hammer, which was absolutely the sign that you had "made it" as a paladin. Aside from a brief stint as a reckbomber in the 40s, I was holy for most of my career.

Patch 2.0, we're doing BWL. I grind out 2 epic PvP pieces in Alterac Valley as a Ret Pally. 6 second Crusader Strikes plus bubbles = GG.

Burning Crusade. I respec to holy/prot and start levelling. Turns out, hitting things with a hammer is a lot of fun. Ding, 61. What the hell, I'll level to 70 as Protection.

Today. 15K unbuffed health. Finally accepted as a "real tank" by my peers. Success is sweet, but short lived. You are only as good as your last raid, amiright?

Hang on kids, the ride is just getting started.
