With a need for changing my glyphs for tanking, i have played around with talents also, to try and make a bit more effecient build for aoe-tanking raid trash. Worth noticing that i would calim it to work best in raid, due to the more damage a tank takes, and the fact i left out the talents that shaves some rage usage of my offensive abilities.
I know i could have done something different, but would also like to keep deep wounds for single target.

Please do make any comments on it, as i will try it out in next upcoming raid.

Just browsing and came across this.

Always find it hard not to comment on the warriors ability to AoE with 5 mages going crazy.

The build I decided on was bringing a paladin tank build with me in raids.

Worked perfectly and I got to keep my build and glyphs as they are

Thanks

well, with currently only one prot paladin in guild, we do sometimes tend to get the odd 10-man with 2 warriors tanking.

Yeah but (in Pies own view) Now i've actually discovered how to keep AoE threat to my highest level it shouldnt be that bad (but in hindsight i havnt done an ICC raid with mal / sheep / Myself (ssh i know) Tan / Dill doing high AoE damage :> )

Btw forgotten, whats the hit cap again?

Hi guys, first time poster here:

I personally believe warriors shouldn't cave into this trend for homogenisation - towards making all tanking specs the same/completely indistinguishable.

If I found myself with 2 warrior tanks I'd adopt a pre-WoTLK approach: clear markings and DPS order, lots of discipline and Crowd Control :)

Tanks shouldn't have to compromise their builds because of lazy, AoE spamming nature of the modern DPSers.

Just my two cents.

Prot pally, Leemadin:

I have 2 builds - one with the emphasis on threat-per-second for the more trivial bosses/content and the second which leans heavily towards mitigation.

As a prot pally I've always been envious of warrior tanks, in particular their superior array of cooldowns when compared to us Tankadins.

Aldaren

Anytime I have found myself with another warrior tank I usually still encourgae the mages and hunters to go crazy with AoE, they just need to be very quick on ice block. feign death etc.

Only ever have to sacrifice 1 or 2 per pull. They seem to enjoy it, otherwise why would they go AoE crazy, when they could single target nuke for a bit.

Your right to be envious Lee, the main warrior tanking ability of 'charge' just makes them look so cool. Who cares about cooldowns etc when you have that.

Thanks

I feel neglected:crying:
I dont think ANY mage can beat Misdirect + Volley on trash. Mine gives tank 14K threat (modify it with coefficients from stance and talents) in 4 seconds on EACH mob. Now mages gogo crazy AoE.

I dont think AoE build is necessary for trash
