I had so many fond memories of classic going into TBC and TBC.
I also got into Black Temple two bosses from Illidan.
Was in a small guild of 20 or so at first where I proved to the guild leader it was his priest that was the problem why they couldn't finish even getting a 1.5 gear speed run done. His heals gain aggro and often he couldn't take hits (this was with a Prot warrior protecting him), a ice mage CCing, Warlock and Feral Druid. He was terrible and often his fade meant nothing to help him. Had my rogue tank the run and a paladin heal me and then ran everyone else through it. Knew the priest in RL and never saw the wind bag cringe so badly then that day when talking about.
Later switched to horde had a blast on my prot pally as I even was dual speced healing and tanking heroics to get badges to eventually be accepted by a high end raiding guild. Gear really made the class. Once had a groupie go wait paladins can heal or tank heroics with out respecing?
Much later, God it felt great when our geared prot tauren warrior was rushing through Black temple saw him aggro a bunch of mobs (he had niche of life) and LOH him which crit for 25K (back in TBC).
My guild lead drop his prot warrior that day and started a prot pally. He could never believe that they could tank really well and had that kinda of get out jail card and much more.
Great times. But now with a family and more I don't have the time to do this. *sigh
