My second real attempt at warrior. Actually I still have my Dranei, but I'm not into alliance right now. I fell into a good guild that I like on horde shu halo. So I rolled a warrior there. Long story short, I want to be a tank. We actually have a decent number of healers on the server, but not many tanks. Perhaps I was tired of my shammy healing in pugs with duel wielding warriors. I've gotten into 4 pugs in outlands instances with warriors not using shields (none ended very well :)). There just is a serious lack of tanks on our server. So I'm interested in it.
We'll start with low level tanking as I'm only level 13. I take it sunders are best on the main target. I'm thinking about putting in a couple points in improved thunderclap to hold throuh healing aggro. Will that be enough? I know I don't have things like revenge, not sure when I get them (or is that a talent?). So it's just sunders and thunderclaps for the most part? And lastly, what about taunt. I noticed it's just melee range. I take it we just have to be on our toes and head towards the dps or healer if a mob pulls then taunt? I was thinking about setting up some macro when I get intervene, but I don't think I get that for a long while.
I know practice is the only way to get good as a tank. But I'm just looking for some tips to get me started, so I don't embarass myself. The good thing about this char over my alliance is I have money to buy decent equipment. I'm not broke like my alliance chars are. My 42 dranei warrior couldn't afford plate- and still can't. And everyone on that server is on end game, and I couldn't even find a group for VC. That's where I wanted to learn how to tank.
As for my build, I was thinking some kind of hybrid. I already have 4 points in fury for the talent to improve crit chance. The others will go in arms to get improved tc. Maybe a few in prot. But I won't go full prot until outlands.
