tanking questions at 70Follow

#1 Nov 08 2007 at 8:27 AM Rating: Decent
Hey, I was wondering about some things having to do with tanking. My guild master, who is teh MT, says that all he uses are heroic strike, shield bash, and revenge. While one of my friends IRL says to just use sunder armor/devestate and revenge. I was just wondering which of those would be better for holding the most aggro. Here is my armory link. http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Elune&n=Arkangels

If you have any suggestions on my build, which i will be changing soon...or where to get some good trinkets besides SL (stupid thing wont drop) and the one from heroics(I belive) anyways thanks in advance

either of those warriors [your GM and your friend] will lose aggro in higher encounters and once your dps gets better gear.

keep shield slam and revenge on CD ALWAYS, this is by far the best threat, sunder in between, keep tclap up by sacrificing a sunder rotation.

check http://www.tankspot.com/index.php?pageid=Fortifications-Guide#5 for further reading.

checked out your armory page -

get one handed spec to 5/5

get 5/5 parry
3/3 imp t-clap

5/5 cruelty

if you are planning to be FULL prot.

if you are going to ONLY be offtanking in kara just spec dps and put on tanking ger for the certain fights, it's easy enough to do.

about your items, you need new trinkets, adamantite figuring is absolutely great and the armor increase is also quite nice.

Russki is spot on. Remember to use demo shout and t-clap liberally on mutiple (non-CCed) mobs.

You need to respec. 0/0/43 may look like a smart idea (wheres the rest of the points????), but you're missing 5/5 parry, 3/3 imp t-clap in the arms tree. 5/5 cruelty will increase your threat output by around 5% as well, never skip 5/5 cruelty. You also need to fill out 5/5 in one-handed specialization. 3/3 in improved Def-stance isnt a requirement for you at this point, and 2/2 improved shield wall is just a waste.


I'm incredibly lazy this morning. Somebody post up the cookie-cutter tanking build for 5-mans and heroics plz. :]
