I have no idea how to tank as DH

Playing DH since legion pre-patch. Never actually tanked beyond just first week of heroic dungeons.

I don’t even know where i’m failing. I’m 185 now, have fiery soul legendary. +4 necrotic wake first pack of mobs with big zombie - got from 100% to 0% in two gcds, what could i even do beyond just spikes and brand.

In soul bomb build i feel like i don’t have enough defense, in fire brand build i can’t just aggro a pack - everyone just runs away before i could even explode a seal.

I assume i’m just an idiot and missing something crucial. Also i’m a venthyr

This is almost 100% failing a dungeon mechanic and not a spec issue.

Someone isn’t stoping a cast, or moving out of the bad.

Necrotic wake is ridiculously overtuned right now. I think part of the reason is that there are plenty of items around the dungeon that does huge damage to mobs. There is a shield to the left of entrance(past two casters) that you can pick up for 50% reduced damage.

I did a +8 Necrotic Wake and a +11. I’m 194 ilvl and the mobs still chunked me. Biggest thing to do is have ccs out.

Literally the single best m+ tank at the moment…you just not very good bro…between fel dev and spikes, you can easily face tank that pull on +4 then kite with sigils

Focus kicks and felt devastate and sigils. Then kite. Throw glaive generates moderate threat. Especially combined with taunt 200% generator. Don’t feel bad. While dh is top tank, all tanks are getting slammed.

It’s the instance. I can breeze through most m+, but necrotic is grossly overtuned.

DH you need to rotate defensives. (fel dev is a defensive CD) its not like bear or warrior where you spam ironfur or IP as mitigation.

I run the firebrand build and Lego and pull around that
