Exactly this. Tanking with sns is awful because the second you charge, the Hunter multi shots, the Warlock SB volleys, and the Rogue opens on X.
With a 2h and a cleave kit you have much better recovery options than a sns tank standing there, not taking damage cause they have no threat, and unable to get threat cause they have no rage.
If only I could pass the nerd rage I feel in those moments into my character lol
They’re still better than the hellfire life tap meta tanks
git gud etc
I 2nd that with skill issue.
I find it alright, but yeah it’s not easy to hold threat on everything all the time. Here’s a quote from a now pretty old, but still somewhat relevant tanking guide intended for newer tanks to Classic WoW circa 2019:
You’re* 10 char
2h with sweeping strikes and whirlwind / cleave is better and you can rock this in 60 dungeons np.
Did you wipe or are you preemptively upset?
Here’s when I lost any sympathy I might have had for you.
Tl;dr
Bad, lazy “healer” wants to AFK and be carried through the leveling process.
Anyone with a good amount of armor, good mitigation, and can keep threat, is a tank in a leveling dungeon.
Like… there is no reason to get hyper picky, unless they are very bad.
Seriously, I’m a Resto Shaman, just leveling through dungeons. I have easily healed “DPS” through tanking, and with the +45% threat rune I Have now, they can go just pure damage and still hold threat really well, which just means things die fast.
Bro im a rogue tank with no aoe threat ability. As soon as i pull people go crazy then wonder why theyre tanking a mob thats hitting them for half hp.
Ya what’s with all my tanks lately rocking 2handers?
You can TC ontop of that. I def agree 2h is absolutely fine and the healer is just bad if they can’t keep up. But TC is actually pretty good now.
I’ve been doing 2h with Warbringer/Endless Rage/Furious Thunder/Focused Rage
Battle Stance>Sweeping Strikes>Berserker Stance>Berserker Rage>Charge>Whirlwind>Defensive Stance>Thunder Clap>Mortal Strike whichever mob I didn’t hit
Been doing great, pretty solid threat on 4-5 targets
Warrior here, when I dual wield I get hit for 80ish from mobs, shield brings that to 65. If you can’t handle that disparity that’s a you issue.
Two hander, no def stance. Just making your healer do work huh
Not my problem you can’t read.
Per mob that adds up at this level.
So what about locks what are they supposed to use?
Let me see if I got some leather or mail gear laying around
Not relly i pull big mobs in sm on my rogue tank all the time. And just dont get hit. And our healer hals me fine. Its provly a you issue
