Here is some advice from a crazy tank

Community General Discussion

If your tank is pulling big, follow them, especially if your tank is mounted, don’t start hitting the first enemy you see trying to maximise your DPS because a dead DPS does no damage.

And if you have a tank that does pull big, even if they don’t pull big but keep on going from pack to pack without waiting, if they stop, it’s probably for a reason. Stop running ahead of your tank, look around, find them, follow them.

I can’t stress this enough, too many times I see players whack the first mob in the dungeon with everything they have, or the next mob after the ones we have are dead and pull aggro just to get themselves killed.

This puts stress on the healer, they need to stop and heal that DPS so the DPS following the tank end up dying and things fall apart.

And it’s the same when the DPS run ahead and ignore what’s happening. Sometimes someone will pull aggro, sometimes there are casters that no one is interrupting, sometimes your tanks need to backtrack and take care of the enemies so you don’t end up with adds on the boss that shouldn’t be there.

Do this and people will die.

Think McFly, think.

Pro tip: Don’t give advice when you haven’t broken 2400+ rating this season specially when all your high keys were people carrying you as a DPS. If we consider just your tanking keys you are 1186 rating… so please don’t give tanking advice when you are a noob tank just starting out yourself.

If they stop, it’s because their finger slipped off the W key.

Wasn’t carried, those were guild runs where I held my own and this was not my main character for most of S1, nor is it the first season I have tanked.

Thanks for jumping to conclusions.

My point stands with empirical proof by just looking up your name up on raiderio keep your tips to yourself when you’re struggling to break +1200 rating as a tank…

You play a hunter… a WORGEN hunter what more do I need to say maybe they need to look at your logs and see what kind of RP you are probably after…

Worgen hunters are confined to RP? Never knew that.

Tbf it’s what the high count regulars do as well.

I don’t normally sit on wow forums pooping my pants like a lot of you, that or perhaps this is just what I logged into.

Your point means nothing when looking at one of my many characters and you know it, you guys gotta stop trying to make up fake arguments just so you can feel good about yourself.

14

You might be new if you don’t know what type of RP most female worgen hunters are after… pretty weird try out moonguard if you want to find out, I 100% can assure you thats why that character is what it is.

Joke’s on you. I don’t wear pants.
