Forget Grimkrast. He's fired (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/02/14/voidwalker-tanks-sartharion-10-with-three-drakes/). My ambitions of having my voidwalker tank Sartharion have been dashed to the ground (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/02/16/voidwalker-raid-tanking-going-away/), and frankly, I don't mind so much. Grimkrast was a slacker who refused to hit the gym, anyway. Voidwalker tanking is so last season. Readers Brad, Domien, and Lifedeathsoul sent us something new to aspire for -- Warlock (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/warlock/) tanking! I've always been a bit upset at the design of Metamorphosis (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59672), particularly with the Challenging Howl (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59671) ability which never quite made sense to me. As a Warlock, it was counterintuitive to try and get hit by the boss when normally that means death.
Sure, Metamorphosis pumps up our armor, and we get that awesome AoE Immolation Aura (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=50589) and that off-the-GCD Shadow Cleave (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=50581) (bet a lot of you didn't know that!), but in general Metamorphosis wasn't meant to make Warlocks tanks. Well, leave it to some Gnomes to prove me wrong. Here's a video of some intrepid pint-sized folk tanking everything from Cyanigosa to... Patchwerk. Don't believe it? Check out the video and see those diminutive aberrations abuse get creative with Metamorphosis. I, too, want to join the Warlock tank club. I just have one question... do I have to be a Gnome?http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Warlock tanks Patchwerk (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/17/warlock-tanks-patchwerk/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:30:00 EST.
