Is it just me, or is rage generation way better than what it was in vanilla?
I don’t really remember, to be honest. It was a very long time ago.
No it’s fine. It was always really crap until you got better gear. You couldn’t just charge in and start hitting abilities at lower levels, you have to prioritise.
My experience so far: If I lose aggro I don’t just lose control of mobs, I lose the ability to get hardly any rage. I’m lvl 41. This applies to SM and now RFD.
If I can’t hit or be hit, then I have to wait for Bloodrage to get about 20 rage. Almost useless.
So, the DPS are pulling off you, rage starving you, and blaming you?
To be exact: some of time, YES. Or hinting at it. But most of the time, NO. That is, sometimes the dps aren’t any more skilled than I am yet. But SOME of the time I have pug groups invite me that are all retail-like dps – no priests, even – just shamans and mages and so forth. This can get tense, quick.
That’s on them. Not you. Just ignore them. They’re useless and you’ll get another group a lot faster than them if you drop out. They’ll either learn, or they won’t. Either way, not on you.
Isn’t that how it often goes?
Pretty much. It’s why I’m leveling ezymode this time around
Unfortunately, my solution is rage potions. Short of that, I let people die until they learn their lesson or I get kicked.
I’ve been tanking on a warrior since 2004 and have seen group dynamics slowly go downhill with WoTLK and its simple instances. Cata brought back some semblance of organized DPS with the difficulty increase.
I played on LHC last year and it was like old times. Not many AEing, DPS infatuated facerollers.
Now? Tank anxiety. I’m currently putting off SMGY and RFK because I don’t want the stress. I’ve seen people look for tanks every night for the past three nights and I’m just “nah, gonna kill cats in 1k Needles.”
THe only thing about rage that I’m not sure on is I thought we lost the rage even if ability missed. Or maybe it’s just some abilities do that. I don’t know.
1.12 really easy
Its just you.
Says the 61 hunter… shush… you know nothing…
Not while tanking I can tell you that.
I can’t do bubkiss to hold threat. We did two armories last night and halfway through I went 2H and we just DPS’d it down. Three warriors so there was a bit of sword/board D stance swapping going on.
Classic on 1.12 is not ideal… I don’t hate the game… But it’s not as good as it would have been on 1.10/11
I feel like I am always rage starved and I am only level 46 is this normal cause its making it very frustrating
