Should I delete my Warrior?

Recommended Posts

So I used to tank in retail...and it's infinitely easier there, I tried to do it here and it's not any fun for me/i'm horrible and I don't want to do it. period. My Warrior has decent gear but I'm not sure if there is a point to keeping it if I'm not going to tank at all? 

Thanks~

Dont delete him.. there is no reason too. Just start up another class. You can always go back and play when your full on rested xp.

It takes skill to tank here as it is NOT by any means an easy task. Just get a guild group of friendly players to learn how to tank. Dps actually need to wait for a few seconds to attack and they should only attack your main target. In pugs it's much harder to tank due to the fact that if the pull goes wrong, it's harder to get the mobs under control due to lower rage.

This is what I would do:

  1. Mark a target with skull as this will be the one your group will kill first
  2. Pull with a ranged weapon
  3. Use bloodrage
  4. Demo shout them when they are in rage (battle shout instead if your group is close enough)
  5. Tab target each enemy while attacking the skull 2 or 3 times more than the others
  6. Non-elites are ignorable so don't worry about them when there are elites. Also melee mobs are higher priority than caster mobs.
  7. If the dps pull aggro on something that's not skull when skull is up (exceptions being nonelites), it's their own fault, not yours.

The ability priority for single target: Revenge (even if proced by shield block) > Sunder >> Heroic Strike

For AoE, just Demo Shout (Battle if people are close enough) and that's all you can do
