Not to come off snarky at all, but have you tried waiting for ol’ boy to build threat first? Not like a long time, just a GCD or two.
If you do wait for the tank to draw aggro before unloading and still draw aggro, I don’t know, dude. Might be a really bad tank, maybe?

My tinfoil hat theory has long been that shaman have some bit of long-forgotten spaghetti in our ancient code giving us an invisible threat bonus from way back when we were supposed to be off-tank capable in Vanilla that nobody still at Blizzard knows about or would know how to get rid of even if they found it again.

I wait, it rarely helps. Only tanks with above 300 ilevel seem to be able to keep aggro off me and I’m not even talking about during super saiyan mode. I do see that some of it is due to them not doing their jobs right, though. A lot of it is damage output, but some of it is tanks just thinking their sole responsibility is ‘don’t die’. I see almost every tank I get into a group with pulling way too much, hoping a healer bails them out in time, not holding aggro sometimes at all (literally not even switching targets or dropping AOE to pull mobs back), refusing to use interrupt or CC… they just grab stuff and stand in one place and don’t consider survivability, lost aggro or even sometimes acknowledging the other people in the group exist at all then raging hard when they die like it’s everyone else’s fault.
it’s hard to blame our dps when tanks seem to be on autopilot window licker mode right now.
Ele/ or Enhance my observations are that somehow dps shamans make more threat (not more dps) than every other non tank class in the game.
I’m also pulling threat on raid fights if the tank doesn’t open with taunt, and throughout chain pulls if things like Doomwinds proc or mobs are summoned by other mobs. So much of what happens after we press a button is beyond our control having it cause threat at all is a wild decision.
Ride the lightning makes chianlightning happen all the time
Whenever a tank dies, we are the next target regardless of our dps output.
I completely agree with you.
Oh look Doomwinds was up when the last boss in Blinding Vale 16 summoned adds…I’ve got threat…I’m dead…
