Hi everyone.
Finally, I had decided to take on the role of tank. No idea what I’m doing, but so far it seems to work, at least I can position the boss and mobs facing away from group. Basically, I just Keybin most of my abilities on 3 action bars and let’s go.
My questions are as follow: are there any abilities that are used has taunts? I know judgment is one of them, but what else..
Second, am I supposed to help heal or cleanse players?? that's confusing to me..
isn’t that supposed to be the healers job…
3er, any addons, and things of that nature that I’m supposed to download for the near future??
Thanks
I’m confused
You sure are. Why are you putting your question inside this?
Judgement is not a taunt. It’s a damage ability that builds Holy Power. You have Hand of Reckoning that is your single target taunt and Divine Shield that can function as an AoE taunt if talented.
What do you mean by help heal? Are you referring to yourself or the party? You don’t need to heal the party in beginner content, but you absolutely need to heal yourself as part of your self-sustain and maintaining active mitigation buffs.
As for cleanse. Yes, you should be cleansing yourself and the party.
Deadly Boss Mods (mechanics) [important]
Tank Plates (Plater that lets you see HP and cast bars of all in-combat targets) [important]
Details (dps meter, death logs, interrupts) [nice to have]
OmniCD (Group CD tracker) [optional]
Mythic Dungeon Tools (Route planner and lets you look at every mechanic) [optional]
Raider IO (Let’s you see much more than just in-game M+ Score if you plan on running M+) [optional]
Anything you throw at enemiesnwill probably generate enough aggro for them to attack you. Specially if you sre the first to hit them (as you should, dont let others pull for you)
If you feel you are gcd locked and cant catch a break with your base rotation and defensives management then dont worry about healing or cleansing others specially when you just started playing the role.
