All the Tanks Unite

running away is what kiting is. maybe try to be usefull with piercing howl / hamstring from time to time?

dps warrior in plate have nearly as much AC as prot war, especially in lower level. Heck, if we’re talking about SM and such… a shaman will tank it no problem.

a lot of people seem to be pulling off you constantly… the problem might be between your chair and your keyboard, not the other players at the end.

aka you are stupid

Much civil. Many wow.

Piercing howl is a fury warrior ability. You don’t tank in fury unless you’re in the end game. Charge cannot be used in combat. Heroic leap isn’t obtained till a high level (if we obtain it at all. Do we in classic?) which means if range pull a mob and that mob is on them because they suck at kiting, the warrior cannot get over there to hamstring unless the ranged runs back to the tank, which is what you’re actually supposed to do.

In lower levels warrior survivability is horrible, they survive only because of the healer. If a healer has to heal 2 warriors with bad survivability that strains their resources.

People don’t tend to grab aggro off me unless they pull first (which they shouldn’t) or they highly outlevel me and are a mage. If people let me pull first I keep aggro most of the time. If you pull multiple mobs before me and can’t handle it that’s your problem. If you can survive hooray we can go faster.

Thank you for the quotes. It makes it easier for folks to find context.

I didn’t call you stupid. In fact, the reason I mention “your posts don’t read…” is that text leaves a lot of room for misinterpretation. However, your age-related insults to many of us are fairly clear. The manner in which you respond to other does suggest a level of immaturity. And yes, you do need to grow up. It is on display for all to see.

Just because you are eloquent doesn’t mean you are not insulting.

of course, all of my suggestion assume you’re not an idiot going deep prot before the 50s or even 60s. should’ve specified.

Most warriors tank in arms while leveling making sure to unlock anger management. And they follow the arms tree until level 40 so they unlock mortal strike :slight_smile: Arms is also more useful in PvP servers because it has burst damage. Fury tends to be the PvE damage spec because it offers sustained damage, and at end game you’ll see people go fury/prot to achieve high levels of threat that allows DPS to go ham.

Most warriors though will be arms while leveling :slight_smile:

We were running with a pally tank in SM. It looked like he knew how to play a pally tank (in retail) but he didn’t have the same tools in Classic. Even waiting 4-5 seconds after the pull, the mobs would break free during aoe and he would be chasing and whacking them to get aggro.

After a while I felt for the guy because he was working really hard. Started waiting to see at least two consecrations before aoe’ing. The others in the group wondered why I wasn’t doing anything for so long and kept saying, “AOE that s*** down!” lol

Scroll up. There are 125 posts in the thread, many in direct reply to you. Thoughtfully consider them. You will notice that the tone of their replies becomes less civil as you become more condescending. The portions of the thread involving you amounts to a debate between speed-running vs other approaches to instances. I don’t recall anyone disputing the validity of speed-running but you’ve gone out to call out other approaches as ‘bad’ with patently insulting vocabulary. Now, you’re reaping what you’ve sowed.

So you have realized you’ve blatantly lied about age related insults, and since you’ve failed to quote, you are trying to silvertongue your way out? It’s not working.

I have called a single person grandpa, as a direct response to them mentioning generational differences. You have insulted me on multiple occasions. Stop trolling and go away with your lies.

Edit: I appologize, it was 2 people

You should be ashamed and apologize for your behavior in this entire thread but are simply too ignorant to know any better. Others have pointed all this out to you to no avail. The evidence of your behavior is on display for all to see. I do wish you the best. Have fun with your game.

Were you given those abilities? Can you use those abilities? Then yes, you should use them to be a versatile player. We don’t need super high dps junkies.

more a rage issue, especially at low levels. You know we don’t keep rage when we switch and then it takes a second to get back 15 rage for hamstring. Its better to just have a hunter use conc shot when an enemy gets low and switch targets to build up sunders so your dps can kill the slowed guy and then switch and start unloading on the new one without worry.

It is better for a party to work together and each person do their role. if you are having to stance dance its because your group is not doing their job. :wink:

Been running SM a lot as Holy and I give the dps might/wisdom but if they can’t watch their threat, they get Salvation (except for bosses).

The difference is night and day, went from having to heal the dps Warrior more so than the tank to tossing them a heal every now and then.

It’s simple…

  1. You break-it (CC), you tank it.
  2. You grab a mob, run to me.
  3. If I am LoS pulling like I should so as not to grab 9 mobs when I only want 5 because I know 2 are runners, slow your damn DPS.
  4. If you have a interrupt, use it on the damn healers!
  5. Lastly, if you are a Rogue, Hunter, Warlock or Mage, you will at some point be asked to not DPS and do something you probably don’t like. But it will make the run go faster in the end, and you can save 2-3 gold per run in repair bills because we didn’t wipe.

If people can’t follow those 5 basic rules past Stocks or SFK, then start kicking them. Tell your guildies that this person is a joke. Remember kids, high lvl dungeons are capped at 5 players! So no more mage stack and AoE cleave speed runs!

just let them die. They will say you suck but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. I have a macro I use at the start…
“without rage I’m worthless so please don’t priest shield before pulls”
“swipe only hits 3 targets so watch what you aggro.”
“druids can’t can’t use pots, eat or drink in bear”
“if you have a problem let me know now so we don’t waste our time”

Hail. Mage tank reporting in, grabbing all your aggro in seconds!
