The music in Hallowfall alone is some of the best stuff ever, some of the best tavern music in the history of the game. All of that stuff, I just don't like to minimize them because those things make my cohesive world work. It's not discordant. I don't feel like I'm being taken out of the world like I have in maybe past expansions. I never felt that cohesion, for example, in Shadow.

What's it called? Shadowlands. Shadowlands. Yeah. And Shadowlands was a bummer in lots of ways, but the world wasn't... I didn't feel grounded to this place the way I do in this. And ironically, we're flying from the get-go and I still feel that way. Part of that is because these zones are massive and that helps, but...

Um, that's just kind of my big overall, we'll get into some of the specifics here in a second. Um, and I'd like to hear your overall as well. Uh, but real quick, I want to get this out before I forget about it. We gave away a bunch of stuff last, uh, uh, during the month, started a contest on the show last month. And we were able to give away a ton of cards, a whole bunch of codes for game time.

Big thanks to Doghouse Systems again for that. And we gave away a copy of the game, heroic edition of the game. Happy people all around. Everybody's gotten their stuff now, both physical and digital. And I just wanted to say thanks everybody for participating. We'll have more of that in the future. So keep an eye out for that. And... we tanked together the other night and a raid team.

That was fun, man. A brand new raid team. What did you think about that experience? Especially cause you were being saddled with a pretty newbie tank and in the form of me, because I've never tanked 20 years of this game, never tanked before. Suddenly I'm like, all right, I'm going to do it. And we did it. So how do you feel?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Here's what I think the magic is in this or the reason it worked out. I didn't go in as blind as I felt like I might be because I spent weeks even prior to the expansion launch getting my head around this paladin for the first time and then doing a ton of heroic dungeons. And that means tail end heroics for dragon flight.

And then as soon as the new, new thing got there and I got to level 80, it was like, all right, we're back to it. So I tanked a ton of normal and heroic content and it turns out that's good practice for even the big show, which when you've got your 25 friends there or whatever. And, uh, and it, and it just kind of clicked with me. It's weird.

Cause I've, this has been the most intimidating, uh, job in the game. Healer's not far behind it. I still don't know how those people can not lose their minds. I don't know how they do it.

So big, big ups to everybody out here. Their heels, their, their team. Well, but, um, I just thought, well, there's no better way to do this than to just go for it. Well, the good news is if you just play the tank, and I also mainlined the protection spec through most of the PBE content that I led to 80. And while you might say, well, you're going to kill stuff slower.

Sure, but I'll kill 20 mobs slower than the single target that some of you DPSers are doing. So that's how I would play. I'd gather a million mobs around me and kill them all at once. And often I'd rip through quests very quickly as a result. This is not new to people who maybe main spec tank. But for me, it was like this temptation of, should I just move over to Ret Pally for a little while?
