Tank Threat Issues

I would say it’s on the DPS to give the tank more than a milisec of time to establish threat.

It usually only takes like 1 second for a tank to get off their aoe dps/taunt.

When I was playing Feral Druid I used a threat meter to see when it was time to start bursting. When I saw I was getting close to overtaking the tank in threat I slowed down a bit.

Proof you don’t play SoD.

Most tanks don’t have AOE threat abilities that don’t suck.

What happened to your druid alt account?

Nothing, I’m making a hunter to camp alliance with my pet.

Atta boy.

Welcome to the Secret Society of Men Who Enjoy Their Pets A Bit Too Much.

I want to abuse it before it’s nerfed and then not relevant in P2 when no hunter will be BM and hunters will suck in PVP.

Doing that you’re not gonna hold aggro against all the dps with the busted runes they can output.

True, after all in Phase 2 we will all be slaves to the Warlock Soul Link meta.

This is where you are wrong, I can spam Thunderclap but a single Chaos Bolt or Starsurge will pull the primary target instantly. You can claim otherwise but you would be lying about it.

He plays with terrible DPS and/or is just lying.

Tanks can’t hold agro except shamans.

Paladin can hold threat fine too.

Do you even play the game bro?

I don’t play trash alliance.

Meh. I haven’t had any issues, but what do I know?

OK. Are you using taunt?

That’s an interesting statement! What runes are you using and what talents do you have? Do you have a particular instance or group composition in mind? I’ll hop on my warrior and try it out now to see what you mean.

You’re playing wrong if you’re having issues with threat, I’m doing 150+dps on nearly every single fight as prot and most of the time gapping the groups damage.

Opinion discarded then.

Imagine not playing Human the bis race?

No you aren’t. Alt tabbing to hold agro also isn’t fun.

Warriors suck right now.

Every person who writes warrior guides says so. You expect us to believe some nobody forum troll noob over experts at warrior in classic?

LOL, get real please kiddo.

and youre using a shield?

He’s lying. I’ve done TONS of WC with all kinds of tanks. The only tank who holds agro consistently is a shaman.

I have real world experience.

My pet on hunter holds agro better than a warrior.

I have enjoyed having pets as offtanks in BFD just to taunt the stacks off. they beefy as heck

Sure, Shield Spec 5/5 Toughness 3/5 Warrior Tank, Priest Healer, Warlock DPS, Shaman (Caster) DPS and Hunter DPS, I think BM. Blood Frenzy, Furious Thunder and Endless Rage as the Runes. Level 17 Warrior and highest level was 18.
