TankingTips.com Readers Confirm: It was April 1st Yesterday!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Yup, jokes out and there’s 119 comments to show for it.

I’ll admit that I prolonged the amusement by keeping all comments in moderation and only approving those that I fooled. (hehe sorry fools) I didn’t get a whole lotta ya, but I think had I been cruel and not made the link aprilfools.gif, I may very well have got a lot more ;)

Now normally I’m not one to post about news, but this news is big… beyond big.

April Fools

I can just see it now… LF39M MC.

The Vene Rule

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

The following is a guest post by my friend Siouxzen who’s responsible for monopolizing the lion’s (or should I say goat’s) share of my in-game time. I’ve added my own little comments in line [like this] to add a little “clarification” and humour. ;)

As we have progressed further into endgame content, the meaning has changed. [unfortunately…]

10 New Formula Calculators for Tanks

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Well I’ll be honest guys when it comes to the mathematics of this game, I like to be lazy. (Although I’m willing to invest a lot of time to allow myself to be lazy though lol)

So what did I do?

I created 10 New Formula Calculators on the Formula page. (now known as the Formula Calculators page) This page now includes:

  • An Expertise Calculator
  • A Defense Calculator
  • A Resilience Calculator
  • A Dodge Calculator
  • An Agility Calculator
  • A Parry Calculator
  • A Block Calculator
  • A Hit Calculator
  • A Crit Calculator

6 Tanking Blogs I read

Friday, December 28th, 2007

While I always strive to bring what I feel is especially useful or original content, I think it’s time I let you all in on 6 secrets to my site’s success. These 6 tanking blogs are what I follow on a daily basis to see what’s new, exciting and insightful in the world of tanking beyond my own stumblings in the game and on forums.

  1. Ciderhelm’s Blog
  2. Ciderhelm is best known for his guide stickied on the WoW Warrior Forums and more recently for running the site Tankspot.com. While his posts aren’t always 100% tanking related, they still always end up being an entertaining and insightful read.
