Ted Atchley

Ted Atchley @honorshammer — I'm a 10 year veteran of World of Warcraft with the overwhelming majority of that time as a Protection Paladin. I started my tanking career at the end of Vanilla and I've cleared every expansion since. I blog about my gaming life at http://honorscode.blogspot.com/. Whenever I pull a boss, I have a macro that yells "HEY [bossName], it's Hammer time!". It's supposed to be sort of like The Thing's "its clobbering time" but most people think MC Hammer. Outside of gaming, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful bride and our two kids, watching the NFL, reading, and writing fiction.

🔒 How Blizzard could make tanking more engaging in Battle for Azeroth

by Ted Atchley on February 28, 2018 at 3:00pm @honorshammer

Legion was a fantastic expansion in many ways, but as I look back over the raid fights as a main tank, I can't help but notice the developers have fallen into a rut with the design of tank encounters.
