Comic #87: Keyturn (Patreon)

Originally published:  Apr 8, 2007.

If I had made this today, I would definitely animate Donald shuffling around. I'd probably rework the comic so that would be the punchline.

Donald has finally come into form. His equipment isn't totally what it is now, but he has the unbuckled belt and everything. He wasn't based specifically on anyone, but he was kind of an amalgamation of various people. However, we did have a few keyboard turning tanks. It was fun to watch them slowly shuffle around to tag a new target.

The "Salv" Narya is referring to in the last panel is Blessing of Salvation, a threat reduction buff. The joke being Donald won't be able to hold any threat. I forgot how often that buff was used in early WoW. Threat was a much larger problem then.
