the geared/heirloomed people keep wanting to rush ahead and it feels like I can’t even begin to learn how to tank because people keep running like they’re the tank. it’s frustrating.
(i’m around level 20, posting on this char cause my cata/MoP char isn’t showing for some reason)
This is inevitable with heirlooms coming into the picture, luckily the effect does diminish as you level. Which means you should be able to figure it out easier, for now I would just go with the flow and rush alongside them. With the monk stagger mechanic you shouldn’t be dying no matter how much they are pulling as long as the healer is even a little awake.
I do know that breath of fire which you get pretty early can really help keep threat, and the brew that slows things down also increased breath of fire’s damage.
Otherwise this might help if you end up with too many abilities.
Keg Smash into Breath of Fire to never lose aggro
Guard on cooldown, even between pulls, as it lasts 30 seconds with a 30 second cooldown, unless…
…You don’t have Tiger Power, in which case refresh it first. Brewmaster Training causes Tiger Power to increase Guard’s shield by 15%
Spend Chi on Blackout Kick to maintain Shuffle for an additional 20% Stagger
Jab (1-2 targets) or Spinning Crane Kick (3+ targets) to generate Chi when Keg Smash is on cooldown
Expel Harm in place of Jab when you are missing health
Elusive Brew as needed
Purifying Brew when you have high Stagger
totally exactly same thing me
Unfortunately until you get to probably outlands the mobs do so little damage and die so quickly that a tank is arguably unnecessary for completion.
Thank you. This will definitely help as I get more abilities. It’s frustrating to have to race against my own party members to get aggro as a tank though. I wish people would at least exercise some patience.
I’m not sure why you think 4 other people should accommodate 1 person. Seems a bit self centered m8
Heirlooms are one of the worst features ever implemented into WoW.
How are you expecting tanks to learn?
This is honestly the most embarrassing and overused bad take in these cringe forums. If you want to speed run something, make a private group.
Someone shouldn’t have to degen tele glitch skip with heirloom gear Stratholme or some low level queueable dungeon in a prepatch where people are trying to learn a new class in a nostalgia game…
If you want to run this so fast so bad “m8”, make your own group.
Agreed. How is it selfish to expect to be able to learn a role?
Heirlooms should have been removed from the game. I’m leveling a Shaman and lock, its get a little better in outlands and Wrath, haven’t made it to cata dungeons yet.
You could try soloing dungeons, that’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been a great way to get used to the class. I have full heirlooms though, I don’t know how it’d go without them.
It is very annoying. I’m a blood dk in Outland leveling and majority of 5mans I ran it’s been monks chain pulling everything. Blood dk doesn’t have a lot of the tools at lvl65
Not only did they not remove heirlooms, you can now upgrade your existing ones and we get new ones introduced in MOP. Because we love them, and removing them doesn’t make sense in most scenarios.
… form your own groups
… join a guild
Those are the tear free solutions.
Cringe reply. YOU join a guild or form YOUR group if you want to do your degen diablo 3 greater rift style queued classic dungeon run in heirloom gear pretending you’re doing m+ or something in a nostalgia game… while gloating or kicking those who are just learning the new class. Players like you are why others quit or say how trash this community has become.
Ok. have fun 
The answer is there, being all bent about it doesn’t dilute the advice.
Another way of saying it, the reality is…
put up, shut up, or help yourself
forum words are… words
I’m so sorry you got enraged by what I said. It’s a trend Blizzard can absolutely do something about. Being cringe and condescending to others doesn’t help you at all and proves my point.
when someone says get educated is that condescending or helpful
or like many do you prefer to stay enraged and ignorant
there was a lot of that when covid was upsetting the scientifically stunted
