A bit new here and new to tanking. I pull a mob ok but then have to hit auto attack key to white attack. BUT later somehow I find I lose the auto attack readiness while in melee range. If I don’t see this, I lose threat fast by failing to hit any mob and I also fail to build rage.
What am I doing wrong? or do I just have to spam the auto attack key?
Take a few minutes to macro all your attack abilities with /startattack
Here is an template…
#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast
do this, all your problems will go away
also, use battle shout in groups for aoe threat (sounds like you’re tanking- it sounds weird but just trust me on it fellow warrbro)
you need less rage, and it’s a hell of a lot less frustrating than trying to tab sunder for 15 rage a pop
Best response, it’s annoying and not at the same time when you tab target.
For my Rogue, I have the same macro but for Sinister Strike. At first I didn’t do it for whatever reason. When I finally decided to take a moment and make the macro as I wait for a boat; it was much easier.
To add on to this make sure people are in range.
The more people you buff with battle shout the higher threat gen
Ty … I saw a vid that said in classic the /startattack command is not yet in the game. I will try it again though. Maybe I spelled something wrong.
pets too!!
Oh it’s in game, for sure.
Same with things like:
/stopattack
/targetlasttarget
and mouse over macros too!
I got through RFC ok by spamming auto attack or tab then auto attack if 2 mobs and yes, Battle Shout saved me a lot of the time from losing threat.
