[WoW] Emergency Bear
There's a pattern that's a mighty ego-boost for me when it occurs: while I'm DPSing in cat form, the tank dies, and I switch into bear form, taunt the boss, and save the day. So far, I've done this on Anub'Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, Maexxna, Heigan, and Kel'thuzad.

Last night, I managed a different variation on that. We were fighting Kel'thuzad. I was main tank. We had an off tank who's relatively new, but shows great promise. He picked up the Guardians of Icecrown when they entered the fight, but some glitch happened between him and his healer, and he dropped like a stone.
I roared and growled and managed to get the two guardians to attack me after they killed only one more player, and we managed to finish the fight with me tanking all three foes. (And sweating bullets doing so.)

Which means that I managed to grab aggro when the tank went down and finish the fight--when I was the main tank.

This is making me think of one of those glass-fronted fire extinguisher cases, only with a bear inside.

That is an awesome mental image.

I want to get that on a t-shirt with the legend "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY UNLEASH BEAR".

That would be awesome.

Speaking of awesome, you had a pretty tree watching over you and going crazy keeping up with you tanking all three.

Just sayin'. You were incredibly awesome last night.

Oh, good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of something like that. I pictured an inflatable bear: in case of emergency, pull tab to inflate bear.

But, Ralph's "unleash bear" is better and more family friendly than an inflatable bear. :)
