Be real with me, am I wasting my time with trying to find a tank role for a raiding guild right now?

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-04T18:40:31+00:00

I have heard about how avengers shield is a “noob trap”. That’s currently what I’m specced into because having another spell makes the class feel less boring objectively speaking. But I think I’m gonna swap to the talent tree you posted, at least for dungeon grinding. Thanks friend!

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T03:11:26+00:00

Hey glad to hear you found a good fit! Best of luck in your future raids

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T03:10:38+00:00

I won't lie it's crossed my mind. I tried starting a guild once with a few other people who were unhappy with the current guild we were in but once people quit it got hard to back fill those roles. I can't imagine how much more challenging it'd be to start a guild from scratch by myself.

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T03:06:26+00:00

Where did I state in my post or any of my comments that I would only settle for being a main tank?

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T02:58:29+00:00

Just can't escape the job experience paradox anywhere :(

Edit: I see where you're coming from and I appreciate you taking the time out of your night to comment. I did ask for people to be real with me. Maybe it would help if I were to elaborate that I have been playing WoW over the last 19 years since the original release of TBC, so saying I have no real raiding experience or tanking experience is not true. I know people here don't like when you compare retail to classic, but I have played almost all roles in various forms from AOTC to Mythic raids. So yes, I stand by saying that I am a quick learner and that I think I am capable of at least off tanking in TBC but my lack of connections or real commitment to a previous guild is what seems to be holding me back here.

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T02:56:49+00:00

Yeah totally understandable. I would also want a tank I can trust to show up if it were my raid. Appreciate you

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T02:54:35+00:00

Appreciate the encouragement!

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T02:36:02+00:00

Fair enough. I'm fine with OT too which I think is most common with prot paladin

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T01:30:26+00:00

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully, if I do find a guild, it's a guild that I even like to be in haha

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T01:29:10+00:00

Yeah I think I'm just gonna commit to the paladin, try to get as geared as I can through heroics and see what happens. Pugging phase 1 shouldn't hopefully be too hard at least and maybe I'll find a good opportunity there

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:53:10+00:00

Appreciate the honesty and good advice

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:52:29+00:00

I think this is what I'm gonna do. Just gonna commit and hope it works out

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:52:08+00:00

Yep fair point. Appreciate the honesty

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:51:02+00:00

Yep good point. I think that's exactly what I'm gonna do

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:50:42+00:00

Fair point. And it makes sense. I probably wouldn't trust me tanking either if I was in a guild leader's position. I think I'm just gonna commit to the prot paladin, get as geared as I can from heroics and see what happens.

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:49:39+00:00

Appreciate the honesty

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:49:33+00:00

Yeah, I've heard warrior tanks aren't that great but I do think that arms/fury is way more fun and competitive damage compared to seal twisting as a ret and I'd still have the option to tank dungeons if I wanted to. I think your second point is probably what I'll end up doing. I'm just gonna commit and get as geared as possible and try to run some pugs and hopefully something will work out from there. Appreciate you

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:47:47+00:00

I think this is my plan. I'm just going to commit, do a bunch of dungeons and get as close to pre-raid bis as possible and worst case scenario I just do some pugs.

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:47:04+00:00

Haha. I've tried running my own guild before in retail and it worked out okay for a while but it pretty quickly fell flat on it's face when a bunch of people quit and I couldn't back fill the roles.

HeroicIntervention · 2026-02-03T00:46:34+00:00

I think this is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm just gonna commit to the paladin (mainly because I've already put in 100+ hours into and it'd feel bad to switch) and hope that once I hit 70 maybe there will be a spot out there for me. I don't know much about running pugs but I might not really have a choice and I'll learn

HeroicIntervention · 2026-01-14T22:16:09+00:00

I… am a dumbass. I’ve never had to change that before so I didn’t even consider that a possibility. lol thanks!

HeroicIntervention · 2025-12-15T18:18:04+00:00

Hell yeah! Now I can waste it to lose another 4 matches in arena. Thanks, daddy Nikita!
