Bearly started

Remarkably, I now have two 80's.

I know, right!

Something about the druid just clicked. I don't know if it was just good timing (the hunter didn't have a lot to do at this point) or usefulness (having a tank or healer on-hand means almost never giving up on a run), or just something about druids that hooked me (feral face-eating plus stealth plus shadowmeld plus flight form gathering quests plus mailbox dancing, who could ask for more?), but something worked and I dove in with both feet and an arm or two, ground it out, and got to the boundary between leveling and the real game.

Of course, that means I have a lot of work to do.

Forget gear. Gear is easy, just run stuff, get badges, rinse, repeat.

No, the hard part is going to be figuring out how2bear. I've never tanked before, and it's a little intimidating. I've done dps to death, I've healed my way through the Outlands, but I've never, ever had a tank before, so I need to learn it all from scratch.

So, off we go on an exciting new career in WoW. If you have any advice, send it along. I'll let you know how it goes.
