Leveling Retrospective
Cordolvar has advanced to level 110, so it’s time to look back over this experiment and see if anything has been learned.
-
Level 110!
Cordolvar reaches 110 while exploring Highmountain. More UI tweaks are made. A new chapter of the game begins.
-
It's Been A While Since I Rocked and Rolled
Cordolvar actually saw the inside of a dungeon for the first time in about a week. Let’s summarize where things are at.
-
Welcome to Cordolvar's Garrison
Cordolvar charges into Warlords of Draenor content and plants his standard, creating a garrison.
-
Level 90
Cordolvar chains four more dungeons and dings that sweet level 90.
-
Four More In Pandaria
Cordolvar runs through four more Mists of Pandaria Dungeons, acquiring many upgrades along the way.
-
Two Quick Runs
Cordolvar runs his (and my) first Mists of Pandaria Dungeon.
-
One Hundred Dungeons Tanked
Cordolvar tanks his 100th dungeon instance. Also, rare dragon mounts, upgrades, and more Cataclysmic learning the hard way.
-
Cataclysmic Cataclysm Runs
Cordolvar has a rough awakening as Cataclysm dungeons require knowledge of the fight mechanics. This is a good thing.
-
Level 80
Cordolvar advances to level 80 and proceeds to enjoy questing in Vashj’ir.
-
Smooth Like Butter
Seven dungeons, no deaths. Let’s hear it for great DPS and heals!
-
Devastator
Cordolvar reached level 75 by running Burning Crusade dungeons, and now I have to adjust to the Devastator talent. -
Two Dungeon Firsts
I ran Mechanar and Botanica for the first time each. Nethermancer Sepethrea stressed me out. -
Level 70 Double Update
Cordolvar reaches level 70. Tips for how to let your tank know you don’t appreciate them.
-
Call It A Streak
The no-death streak continues. The verdict is in on getting run through dungeons.
-
No Die Friday
Cordolvar ran two proper dungeons—in a row–without dying. Amazing!
-
Trouble in Azjul-Nerub
Cordolvar continues to slum in Classic dungeons before deciding that spiders really hate him.
-
Classic Dungeons Retrospective
As Cordolvar has now reached level 60 and is headed to Outlands and Northrend, I look back at what he’s accomplished so far and wonder about what it all means.
-
Level 60
Now officially able to run dungeons in Outlands and Northrend, Cordolvar gets a taste of his icy new environment.
-
One Quick Run
Three nights ago I only had a little time to play, so Cordolvar only completed one dungeon run: Lower Blackrock Spire.
-
Trash Packs Everywhere
Four dungeons were run, each full of trash packs, with more and more casters everywhere. Are line-of-sight pulls still a thing?
-
The Quest Cleanup
Cordolvar ran through several dungeons, while being stunned, rooted, and ultimately killed. He did clear out a bunch of leftover quests though!
-
Epic Blackrock Depths Run
I had a ton of fun running Blackrock Depths. Cordolvar still died, but who cares? The point is to have fun! BRD is a truly epic dungeon, which makes sense, because it was a raid when World of Warcraft was first released.
-
Done With Maraudon
Cordolvar completed a bunch of non-dungeon quests, out-leveling Maraudon (finally!) and then dove back into more dungeons.
-
Upgrades & Quick Runs
I didn’t have much time last night, but I managed to get three gear upgrades for Cordolvar, while only dying twice.
-
What Do You Get If You Multiply Six By Nine?
You get 42 of course. Cordolvar's string of deaths is going strong at ten sessions, each with at least one death. -
Level 40
Cordolvar has reached level 40. Unfortunately his string of deaths remains unbroken. I’m getting a little tired of Maraudon.
-
Die Die My Darling
Yep, Cordolvar died some more. Once in Maraudon my healer just goofed. Then later on, still in Maraudon, someone in the party wasn't paying attention and pulled an extra pack of mobs that proved to be too much for the healer to keep up with. -
Still Dying
Yep, I died again. On trash in Razorfen Kraul. Either the healer got overwhelmed or stunned or something. -
Two More Deaths
Only managed three dungeons last night. I continued to tweak my UI modifications. I also died. Twice. I’m not happy about this.
-
Quick Runs
I only had time for three quick runs tonight, but they went fairly smoothly. I still managed to die however.
-
Level 30
I flew through six and a half dungeons last night.
-
Shadowfang Keep, Blackfathom Deeps, & Wailing Caverns
I only had time for three runs. Interestingly, they were each instances Cordolvar hadn’t run yet.
-
Meet Cordolvar, A Tank
The purpose of this site is to organize a journal of my thoughts and experiences leveling a tank in World of Warcraft in 2018. I will be primarily running random dungeons with a bit of questing here and there.
