I had this on the tail-end of a response to one of Veneretio's posts.


Changing topic:

There was a post or guide or something that had a warrior talent spec designed to help tank aoe trash mobs, if anyone remembers where it is could you pop a link in a pm for me please or repost it.

Someone found this for me...of all classes a pableep.

My first over 7k execute in TK last night. Was a big to do in the dps party, no one else seemed to notice, and no ss /cries.

I've been away from raiding about 3 weeks and stressing over the lack of upgrades now that we're moving into MH and soon into BT. I need a new chestpiece and no matter how much I farm ZA or H MrT, or kill Vashj, it evades me. I may be doomed to wear Durotar's Battle Harness to the end of Sunwell. Yikes!

Anyway, my dps was not too bad. I ranked...

Oh yes they can!

When/how did you learn to tank more than 1 mob (ack, stupid piles of bugs in AQ20)? How do you do it post-BC?

2 mobs-tc if no cc, if cc then

more than 3 mobs-see abv, try to throw as much threat around as possible....

I'm sitting from SSC for the shaman who showed up late. Our current dps raid party now has: ms war, rogue, ret pally, shaman, hunter or druid. It stinks when the shaman isn't there. The rogue, pally and myself get an extra 200 dps from wf. Our physical dps'ers can place in the top 3 on dps meters with that totem. So we do whine when we lack our shaman. Our raid leader has been known to throw whatever shammy is available including himself to keep us happy, however this night I volunteered to...

The fruits of being a good player, especially a good tank, people trust that you will take care of business.

I'm a dps warrior. I still take care of business. I used to try to keep it a little known secret that I can tank heroics, mitigation is not an issue with 22, 18, 23 d/p/b. It's the threat. Threat takes precedence, and hell if you have too much mitigation = no rage = no threat. It's craziness, a heroic mob is beating on you and your rage bar is stuck at 20. If I'm dps...
