Um, just do what I do and walk over and Freeze the mobs in place and go, here, this is how this is going to go after 2 packs or so. I’m doing it wrong but whatevs
MDT bro not MDI. it’s just an addon that lets you plan routes and share the route with others.
Ahh my bad, misread what you wrote.
Last time I used MDT was in Shadowlands. Can you share routes with people in your group on the fly now? That’d probably be a game changer. Used to have to import routes and it was kind of a pain. Would be cool if it just showed you what your tank was planning.
As long as they have the addon yep!

DH says what?
Do you run with a regular tank, or do you pug? I tank for a regular group and I get them to show me what their spells look like so I can learn them. Otherwise there’s too many different ground effects in this game to memorize them all, and our natural tendency is to move out of stuff.

blame blizzard , ground aoes in a TWW WOW makes 0 sense , with so many ground aoes and mechanics that force tanks to move
make aoe move with pack …make it an animated dot , no1 cares
I’ve come to the conclusion tanks cannot do anything correctly. Too fast. Too slow. Not able to survive. Not able to keep others alive. Heal too much. Need too much healing. Don’t know where they are going. Go on routes others aren’t familiar with. Have a God complex because they control the group. Need to control the group. Do too much damage. Don’t let others do damage.
Did I miss anything?

I honestly feel bad when I play my Frost mage. He creates so much graphical clutter that I bet the rest of the group can’t see anything. I wish Blizzard would tone it down a bit.
Honestly another community problem here. People don’t want to talk, they just want to go go go. So many issues with pugs would be solved if people actually communicate, but that’s hard.
But I agree with your list completely.
“But if i dont constantly move we wont finish the dungeon 8.3 seconds faster than normal and i wont get my instant queue into the next one to finish my weekly tw mission in record time!!” - every tank, probably
How am I supposed to be top damage and the main character if I pull in ways that maximize the DPS of the party?
Just know it doesn’t get better in pugs. Even pugging +12s tanks still pull stuff away from my 7 Frozen Orbs on the ground.
at least elemental shaman gets to target something when using chain lightning
Look, tanks will instinctively and immediately move things out of AoE. There’s so much crap on the screen that tanks can’t tell if the AoE is good or bad and just don’t take chances. That’s how Bliz designed the game, blame them.
Mob mechanics and tank survivability takes priority.
