User:Jini/Warrior

Jinimini is a Tauren Warrior. I got tired of playing my Druid on Tich and became interested in finding out first hand how hard it is to tank well. So, Jinimini was born. He will eventually have a Protection spec but will go cookie-cutter 31/20 or 31/5/15 while levelling. I am leaning toward 31/20 so I can learn to tank without the extra threat from Defiance to lean on. I Plan on trying out Mace spec.

Jinimini will be an Armorsmith so as to craft his own Dark Iron Plate, if it comes to that.

As of 12/29/05 Jinimini is level 15 with ~90 in Blacksmithing. He has 5 points in the Cruelty Talent.

As of 1/2/06 Jinimini is level 20 with ~100 in BS and Mining. He has 3 additional points in Imp Rend, 2 points in Deflection and 1 in Tactical Mastery.

At level 24 Jinimini has maxxed out Tactical Mastery. --Jini 20:41, 13 Jan 2006 (GMT)

At level 31 Jinimini has maxxed out Impale and has Anger Management. Next up, 3 points in 2handed weapon spec and then Mace Mastery! --Jini 22:57, 20 Jan 2006 (GMT)
