    Merc tanks are bad. There are lots of tanks wanting a group, invite one.
    You don't need a raid geared rockstar tank. You just need a tank that can hold aggro. Casual tanks will suprise you at how they don't actually suck.

    If no tanks are available in guild consider going outside to /general

    There is definitely something weird with the sabretooth cats. I've tried charming them and siccing them on other sabretooths, what invariably happens is some kind of mem blur, followed 2 seconds later by charm breaking. I assumed it was by design, so I grunted and left that broken zone forever.

    Really, Overthere is the crappiest and possibly toughest zone of the expansion as it is, and I'm not surprised to see so many "wtf OT ate my noob" posts.

    My groups (admittedly mostly raid geared) don't have a problem in The Overthere, as long as we don't use merc tanks.

    The XP seems pretty poor to me in OT, though.

    It's a challenging zone, which is good. But it is too hard for an initial "easy" starting zone. Really, if it wasn't the starting zone for Ring of Scale and the xp would be boosted, it would be one of my favorite zones.

    (oh, yeah, the merc tank aggro issue needs to be fixed):eek:
