Hey everyone, I've spent a bit of time looking (well a lot of time actually) around and reading up on everything warrior related, but figured the best way to get some answers from people who know is to post here.
I am a lvl 61 Human Warrior on the Proudmoore server - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Proudmoore&n=Chosenx
Basically I have 2 problems. First off is deciding what spec I should go for as i level up to 70. I am currently an arms/fury hybrid, but am wondering whether I should go to a fury build as it can be awesome in the later levels of the game. Or should I switch out to prot to learn how to start tanking and getting used to those skills? Or, should I go for an arms/prot spec instead of arms/fury. And how much slower does prot make the leveling process? (60-70 looks like it will take me forever!).
As you can see I am pretty confused at the moment as to what I should do, so any advice in regards to what i should do with my specs would be great (havn't re-specced yet so money for changing isnt an issue).
Secondly, I recently had a go tanking in ramparts and felt VERY lost. I havn't really done a lot of proper tanking to date, because the lower level instances don't really need it.
The targets were being marked with a skull, red cross and a blue square for the most part, and I was told to attack and keep the aggro of the skull. That I could manage easily, but I always thought tanking was meant to be holding a large amount of mobs on me? The other mob would just run off elsewhere and the square one would get iced.
Because I am arms spec it was a bit difficult to keep the aggro on me, but I did manage. However it just didn't seem to be right. So if anyone could explain how the marking process works and how I should be tanking (yes I have read ALL of the info on how to tank, but it is all very much based around lvl 70 prot tanking which isn't where I am at yet).
I want to get the hang of tanking before 70 so I know what I am doing. So I am basically looking for any advice for either of my problems, or both.
Thanks a lot for any advice in advance - let me know if you need any more info.
