No, this baby and I have been through hell questing and leveling and grinding in vanilla before any xp was taken away from getting to 60. This baby and I went through hell in raids, wiping and getting repair bills, redoing talents till the point it at once cost me a shit ton. I even grinded out every damn thing to get my dreadstead mount. I went threw hell on my warlock, Nerfs after Nerfs after Nerfs. Hell, thats what killed our population straight out, they nerfed us to oblivion, and we still kicked everyone elses asses.
So why would I give my warlock up? I would never, My lock is my pride in wow. But, I wish to do my favorite thing, and that is tanking. Why tanking? Because, having a big monster focusing me, as Im beating the hell outta it, makes me feel powerful. It staring you down, whacking you with everything its got, rather than being a goon on the side, one of the rest of the herd of range. As a lock, I want to control whatever i am facing and and show it that I am death incarnate as it eventually dies from my blows (and the herd of range). Being a tank, you and ur buddy are usually the only two facing the targets face, other than that, your stabbing, fireballing its back. doesnt make you powerful, rather, it makes you... weaker.
>.> damn... too much rp in the middle of the early morning. But that is how i feel, rather than facts or statistics, it would simply be a wish that I could do.
