  • I was allowed to be a DPS warrior in raids and at one point was matching or outdoing Rogues for damage.

    I can’t remember how often I switched between being the guild’s main tank and DPS warriors. I wanted to do DPS but due to activity and skill concerns I was always roped back into being the MT. Upside was I was basically collecting the top-tier gear for both specs. But DPS warriors were always somewhat competitive. Poor DPS Paladins were basically never viable in high-end raids during all of vanilla.

    Also the warsong PVP battleground with a raid equipped main tank was fun … well, for us.

    Used to speed run Stratholme and Scholomance as a fury Warrior because my healers loved the chaotic challenge of keeping me alive.

    Ha, I remember [Righteous Orb] farming there, which eventually just turned into speedruns. Our healer needed them and by the end we were going in with 3 dps warriors, a mage and a priest, just smashing through it. Occasionally we’d only be 4 people and invite some random (conditions is we got the orbs, but we don’t care about anything else). Many though we were mad for going in without a tank. Good times.




  • So, it was actually in the game? The term “Meta” in this context?

    It’s more like knowing that “people online will do that, so I have to do this”. The mind game between the players. But I think you already got some better answers.

    I don’t think it originated from StarCraft, that’s just where I recall first hearing it.
