We don’t want to “go play retail”. We want to play SoD. But we want threat that doesn’t feel awful. Telling someone to just go play an entirely different game is such a bad argument.
I’m pretty much full pre-BiS, and if I don’t have Alpha, aoe threat is insanely hard to hold off of dps that pump. A hunter that runs in and slams down aoe dmg will pull threat off me. It’s horrible.
The statement was obviously directed at the individual who is clearly asking to just… charge at a mob and have threat with no effort. He wants a 1 button rotation, a 1 button ‘I have the threats’ - that is retail. It’s also boring and lazy. I’m sorry, but that is the truth.
Hunters are the top DPS class in the game currently, and are probably going to get tweaked/adjusted. If they blow their load off rip, yeah they have the potential to rip off of any tank especially in an AoE situation with explosive trap/shot in it’s current state. But they also have Feign Death to completely drop their threat, so they can get away with doing stuff like this.
That’s your opinion. I love that play style. Demon Hunter tanking is some of the most fun I’ve had in WoW. Running in and slamming down my aoe threat everywhere is so damn fun. Plus, it’s rewarding because I’m dealing decent damage too and I have all the threat and feel like an absolute powerhouse. It’s a great feeling. So, yes, that’s what I want - but in SoD. Also, yes a hunter can just Feign Death. But will they? They usually just panic and run away from the tank and yell “i HavE aGgrO”
Running in and using 5-8 abilities and playing one of the hardest skill-based specs in SoD(rogue tank), just to have threat ripped from you is the complete opposite of rewarding. It’s demoralizing.
Aggrend even stated that the classic dev team has changed their views on this and are incorporating more aoe threat for tanks moving forward. So even the dev team agrees with this. Even though rogue aoe threat is still bad. 
For single target, it’s there…for aoe threat, It’s gated behind two pieces of tier 1.
Yep, and that’s just bad design. Let’s gate aoe threat behind a set bonus, a.k.a. completed content.
… so you DO want to play Retail. Just go play Retail then. Asking/desiring for Classic to change and bend to become Retail is silly and not what the people who love Classic want. In Classic threat matters, it isn’t free. If you want it to be free, that’s Retail.
If the hunter in question can’t use his brain to FD but can use it to get himself killed, it’s on him.
This idea that rogue tank is some grandiose rotation is silly. You guys make it sound like you’re required to play a classical piano piece blindfolded to get a bad result. It’s 4 buttons (1 on a cooldown). 5 with a belt rune of your choice (that also has a cooldown). 7 if you count your 5 and 2 minute cooldowns.
Your logs look good, single target threat looks good, except for the few times Nimbles the ret pulled off you. However the issue mainly with rogue threat is aoe, which I know the 2 piece solves.
Low threat is a you problem. I have verry little issues… u switch between tempist and fan for aoe and tabtarget to get evis out. And presto . I have aggro… people have been complaining about rouge threat since phase one. And inphase 3 its finally fine. Mabe do better untead of blaming evryo e else for your short commings as a tank.
Then hit tease and a 5 combo evis and say nice try bud and carry on
